Heil Quaker ICP 1011046 Collector Box

The Heil Quaker ICP 1011046 Collector Box is a critical OEM replacement component designed for high-efficiency condensing furnaces. This collector box, also referred to as a condensate collector box or restrictor plate assembly, is engineered specifically for ICP furnace repair in brands including Heil, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and Arcoaire. Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant aluminum, it occupies a central role in the secondary heat exchanger assembly, where it effectively manages the transition of combustion byproducts and corrosive condensate drainage.

This ICP 1011046 assembly features precision-milled dimensions?approximately 11-7/8 inches in length and 6-3/8 inches in width?to ensure a tight seal with the cell panel and inducer motor housing. Proper installation prevents pressure switch tripping and water leakage, which are common failure points in older HVAC systems. For technicians performing a furnace collector box replacement, this part ensures the manifold can withstand varying thermal stresses while maintaining the integrity of the condensate management system. Its direct-fit design facilitates a streamlined integration with existing drain tubes and pressure lines, restoring system static pressure to manufacturer specifications.

Key Benefits

• Precision OEM Fit: Ensures a seamless match for ICP 1011046 specifications, eliminating the need for field modifications.
• Enhanced Condensate Drainage: Optimized geometry prevents water stagnation, reducing the risk of mold growth and heat exchanger corrosion.
• Durable Aluminum Construction: Built to resist the acidic nature of furnace condensate for long-term operational stability.
• System Efficiency: Maintains required air-to-fuel ratios by providing a secure attachment point for the inducer assembly and pressure switches.

Common Questions

• Which furnace brands are compatible with this collector box? This part is a universal OEM component for International Comfort Products (ICP) equipment, covering Heil, Tempstar, Arcoaire, Comfortmaker, KeepRite, and Day & Night units.
• Does this include the required gaskets or silicone? While this is the primary collector box housing, technicians should apply high-temperature RTV silicone or replace the collector box gasket during installation to ensure a gas-tight seal.
• How do I know if my current collector box is failing? Common indicators include visible cracks in the housing, water pooling at the base of the inducer, or intermittent furnace shutdowns due to pressure switch circuit faults.
