Heil Quaker ICP 1171986 Bracket Trap

The Heil Quaker ICP 1171986 Bracket Trap is a critical structural and drainage component designed for specific high-efficiency condensing furnaces. This OEM replacement bracket provides the necessary support and alignment for the secondary heat exchanger condensate trap, ensuring the gravity-fed drainage system maintains the correct pitch. Fabricated from corrosion-resistant materials to withstand prolonged exposure to acidic condensate, the 1171986 mounting bracket prevents vibration-induced fatigue on the plumbing connections. HVAC technicians often require this specific ICP furnace part during inducer housing overhauls or when replacing cracked collector boxes. Proper installation of this condensate trap support is essential for preventing water backup into the secondary heat exchanger, which can result in pressure switch trips or premature component failure. This Heil furnace drain bracket is engineered for a precise fit within the cabinet, facilitating a secure anchor point that meets original factory specifications for high-efficiency HVAC systems.

Key Benefits

• Structural Integrity: Ensures the condensate trap remains securely positioned to prevent drainage airlocks.
• Corrosion Resistance: Engineered to withstand the acidic nature of furnace condensate for long-term durability.
• Direct OEM Fit: Eliminates the need for field modifications, reducing installation time during service calls.
• System Reliability: Prevents secondary water damage by maintaining the correct drainage angle for the HVAC system.

Common Questions

Will this bracket work with all Heil-Quaker condensing units?
This bracket is designed for specific furnace chassis architectures within the ICP family, including Heil, Comfortmaker, and Tempstar. Always verify the specific model number of the furnace to ensure alignment with the 1171986 part number.

Can I use a universal bracket instead of the ICP 1171986?
Using a universal alternative often leads to improper pitching of the condensate trap. The OEM bracket trap ensures the precise geometry required for the furnace to drain correctly and clear pressure switch signals.

Does this include the rubber trap and tubing?
This part number refers specifically to the mounting bracket. If the trap itself or the vinyl tubing is compromised, those components must be sourced separately to complete the drainage assembly.
