Rheem-Ruud 68-24047-07 Connector/Trap Assembly

The Rheem-Ruud 68-24047-07 Connector/Trap Assembly is a critical OEM condensate management component designed for high-efficiency condensing gas furnaces. This specialized drainage trap assembly ensures the proper collection and disposal of corrosive condensate, preventing moisture backup into the heat exchanger or inducer housing. Manufactured to exact factory specifications, it replaces legacy or obstructed traps to maintain the atmospheric seal required for optimal pressure switch performance. As a direct OEM HVAC replacement part, it features precision-molded construction to withstand the thermal cycling and chemical composition of furnace effluent without premature degradation or leaking.

For contractors performing furnace maintenance or repairs, this condensate trap provides a drop-in fit for specific Rheem and Ruud furnace models, eliminating the need for field-fabricated piping solutions. Proper installation of this connector assembly is essential for preventing nuisance pressure switch trips and potential water damage to the furnace control board. Integrating this assembly during a HVAC system repair ensures the unit operates within the manufacturer’s design parameters for drainage and venting safety.

• Precise OEM Fit: Engineered for seamless integration with Rheem-Ruud high-efficiency furnaces, ensuring leak-proof connections.
• Durable Material Construction: Resistant to acidic condensate, preventing housing cracks and internal blockages.
• Simplified Installation: Standardized port sizing reduces labor time during condensate assembly replacement.
• Optimized Drainage Flow: Internal geometry is designed to prevent airlocks and ensure consistent gravity-fed drainage.

Common Contractor Questions:

Is this trap assembly compatible with non-condensing 80% AFUE furnaces?
No, this component is exclusively for 90% AFUE and higher condensing units that produce liquid condensate during the combustion process.

Does this assembly include the necessary gaskets or mounting screws?
This part number typically refers to the molded trap assembly; it is recommended to verify the condition of existing mounting hardware and seals during teardown.

What are the signs of a failing condensate trap?
Technicians should look for hairline cracks in the plastic, sediment buildup in the internal chambers, or intermittent pressure switch fault codes caused by improper drainage.
