Common Questions

Is the 68-24047-08 a universal fit for all Rheem furnaces?

What are the signs that this trap assembly needs replacement?
Technicians should look for cracks in the plastic housing, visible leaks at the connection points, or recurring pressure switch trips that may indicate a blockage or failure in the condensate drainage path.

Does this assembly include the necessary clamps?
Typically, this SKU refers to the connector and trap assembly itself. It is best practice to inspect your existing clamps and hoses for wear and replace them if they no longer provide a tight seal.
