Rheem-Ruud 68-101806-01 Drain Pan

The Rheem-Ruud 68-101806-01 Horizontal Drain Pan is a critical OEM replacement component designed for high-efficiency coil management in horizontal HVAC installations. Engineered for Rheem and Ruud air handlers and evaporator coils, this primary condensate drain pan is constructed from heavy-duty, high-heat resistant polymer to prevent warping and ensure long-term structural integrity. This specific model facilitates efficient moisture removal, preventing water blow-off and protecting the furnace or air handler cabinet from condensate overflow. The 68-101806-01 features precision-tapped drain connections for a reliable, leak-free fit with standard 3/4 inch NPT fittings. Replacing a cracked or fouled horizontal evaporator coil pan with this genuine HVAC drain pan ensures your system maintains proper drainage slope and meets manufacturer specifications for air distribution. Contractors should verify individual coil cabinet dimensions to ensure a precise seal and optimal static pressure performance within the evaporator coil assembly.

• OEM Compatibility: Specifically engineered for a drop-in fit for designated Rheem and Ruud horizontal equipment, reducing installation time.
• High-Heat Resilience: Constructed from advanced polymers capable of withstanding the elevated temperatures found in high-efficiency heat pump and furnace applications.
• Precision Drainage: Features a pitched design to eliminate standing water, reducing the risk of biological growth and secondary drain line clogs.
• Integrated Fittings: Includes factory-molded 3/4" drain ports to ensure consistent threading and a secure bond with the primary and secondary condensate lines.

Common Service Questions

How do I know if this horizontal drain pan is compatible with my specific coil?
Compatibility is determined by the coil cabinet size and model prefix. This pan is designed for horizontal configurations where the coil sits above the furnace. Cross-reference the 68-101806-01 part number with your unit's data plate or technical parts manual.

Does this pan include the secondary drain port?
Yes, this model features both primary and secondary NPT drain connections, allowing for the installation of a secondary float switch or safety overflow line as required by local mechanical codes.

Can this pan be used in vertical upflow installations?
No, this is a horizontal-specific drain pan. Vertical installations require a different pan geometry to properly capture and channel condensate under different airflow orientations.
