Heil Quaker ICP 1085424 Collector Box
The Heil Quaker ICP 1085424 Collector Box is a critical combustion component designed for high-efficiency condensing furnaces. Engineered to manage the transition of flue gases into the secondary heat exchanger, this collector box ensures proper condensate drainage and prevents moisture backup that can lead to pressure switch trips or internal corrosion. This ICP OEM replacement part is built to original factory specifications, ensuring a precise fit and maintaining the integrity of the sealed combustion system. When diagnosing furnace venting issues or moisture leakage near the inducer housing, replacing a cracked or warped plastic collector box is essential for restoring optimal HVAC system performance and safety. This component is compatible with a wide range of Heil, Quaker, Comfortmaker, and KeepRite units, providing a direct-fit solution for contractors performing furnace heat exchanger repair.

What are the signs that a collector box needs replacement?
Visible moisture or white calcium buildup around the edges of the box, or a furnace that fails to stay lit due to a pressure switch error, often indicates a clogged or leaking collector box.
Is this part compatible with all ICP condensing furnaces?
While the 1085424 fits many models, you must verify the specific furnace model number and serial series, as collector box designs vary based on BTU capacity and cabinet width.
Does this include the necessary gaskets?
Technicians should verify the seal upon installation; if the factory gasket is compressed or damaged, a high-temp RTV silicone or specialized HVAC gasket material may be required to maintain a seal.
