Heil Quaker ICP 1008670 Collector Box

The Heil Quaker ICP 1008670 Collector Box is a critical OEM replacement part engineered for high-efficiency condensing gas furnaces. As a veteran technician knows, the collector box is the central hub for managing corrosive condensate and directing flue gases toward the inducer motor assembly. This specific ICP 1008670 model features a robust construction designed to withstand the thermal cycling and acidic environment typical of secondary heat exchanger operations. It is compatible with a broad range of 90%+ AFUE units from Heil, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and Arcoaire, including popular GNK, GNM, and NUGM series models.

When performing a furnace collector box replacement, ensure the mating surfaces are completely clear of old gasket material or high-temp silicone residue to prevent air leaks that trigger pressure switch faults. This polypropylene collector box is precision-molded to maintain a primary seal, ensuring the condensate drainage system operates without restriction. Utilizing genuine ICP HVAC parts like the 1008670 ensures exact fitment and restores the factory-spec pressure differentials required for safe combustion venting.

• OEM Precision: Direct factory replacement ensures perfect alignment with the secondary heat exchanger and inducer housing.
• Corrosion Resistance: Manufactured from high-grade materials to resist the acidic byproduct of the combensation process.
• System Reliability: Eliminates common "no-heat" calls caused by cracked or leaking collector boxes that disrupt pressure switch circuits.
• Broad Compatibility: Fits a wide array of International Comfort Products (ICP) residential furnaces.

• Does this collector box include the rear gasket? Most 1008670 units come with a pre-applied front gasket for the inducer, but the rear seal to the heat exchanger often requires a separate gasket or a bead of high-temperature RTV silicone as per the manufacturer's service manual.
• What causes a collector box to leak? Generally, leaks occur due to stress cracks from over-tightened fasteners or age-related stagnation of acidic condensate. Always check for proper furnace leveling during installation.
• Can I use this for a 80% AFUE furnace? No, this part is specifically designed for condensing furnaces (90%+) that utilize a secondary heat exchanger and produce liquid condensate.
