Heil Quaker ICP 1172228 Transition Assembly

The Heil Quaker ICP 1172228 Transition Assembly is a critical OEM component engineered for high-efficiency 90+ gas furnace systems. As a veteran-grade furnace exhaust transition, this part is specifically designed to facilitate the seamless flow of flue gases between the heat exchanger and the inducer motor. Integrated into RPJ3, MPD75, and 9MPT furnace models, this assembly maintains the structural integrity of the combustion path, preventing leaks and ensuring the vent system operates at peak static pressure. This genuine ICP HVAC replacement part is the current manufacturer-specified direct replacement for legacy part number 1012281, as well as 1014046.

Constructed from high-grade, heat-resistant black composite material, the 1172228 transition asy features precise dimensions of approximately 15 1/4 inches in length and 9 5/8 inches in width to ensure a drop-in fit. For contractors performing a furnace inducer transition repair, using this OEM assembly is vital for maintaining the factory-rated combustion efficiency and safety standards. It is compatible with a wide range of brands under the International Comfort Products umbrella, including Heil, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and Arcoaire. This assembly is built to withstand the demanding thermal cycling found in high-efficiency condensing furnaces.

Key Benefits

• Direct OEM Replacement: Engineered to replace obsolete part numbers 1012281 and 1014046 without field modification.
• System Compatibility: Validated for use in 90+ RPJ3, MPD75, and 9MPT gas furnace series.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured from corrosion-resistant composite materials to handle internal condensate and high-heat exhaust.
• Optimized Airflow: Precision-molded internal geometry reduces turbulence for the combustion blower, enhancing motor longevity.
• Reliable Seal: Designed for an airtight connection to prevent hazardous flue gas bypass into the cabinet.

Common Questions

Is the 1172228 transition assembly compatible with my older ICP unit?
Yes, if your documentation specifies part number 1012281 or 1014046, this is the official manufacturer-superseded replacement part designed for those specific furnace configurations.

Does this transition assembly include the mounting gasket?
Most OEM assemblies are sold as the housing only. For a professional, airtight installation, it is recommended to inspect and replace the transition gasket (such as 1013083 or 1013080) during the swap.

Why is my current transition assembly failing or cracking?
Over time, the thermal stress of high-efficiency operation or improper drainage of acidic condensate can lead to hairline fractures in older plastic transitions. Replacing it with this genuine ICP 1172228 part restores the integrity of the exhaust system.
