Rheem-Ruud 68-101806-04 Drain Pan Assembly

Maintain peak performance and prevent moisture-related property damage with the Rheem-Ruud 68-101806-04 Drain Pan Assembly. This horizontal condensate drain pan is a genuine OEM component engineered for high-heat environments and heavy-duty evaporator coil applications. Constructed from U.L. 94-5V approved high-grade plastic, it provides superior chemical resistance and structural integrity where generic pans often crack. Designed for precise fitment in Rheem air handlers and horizontal furnace configurations, this assembly efficiently manages HVAC condensation to ensure your primary and secondary drainage systems operate without bypass or overflow. The unit features dual 3/4-inch NPT connections to accommodate standard field piping with NPT threaded plugs for secure sealing. This is a critical replacement for technicians servicing RXBD-CB series units or those upgrading from a failing 68-101806-02 or 68-101806-03 pan. Using this genuine Rheem replacement part preserves the engineered drainage slope required for consistent moisture removal.

Key Benefits

• OEM Precision Fit: Specifically engineered for Rheem-Ruud horizontal air handlers and cased coils, ensuring the pan sits correctly under the A-coil.
• High-Temperature Durability: Molded from 100% virgin, flame-retardant material that resists warping in the supply air stream.
• Static Pressure Integrity: Thick-walled construction maintains a tight seal within the cabinet, preventing localized air leaks.
• Standardized Plumbing: Features reinforced 3/4-inch NPT outlets for simple integration with existing condensate drain lines.
• Comprehensive Assembly: Includes necessary insulation to prevent external sweating and secondary moisture buildup on the pan exterior.

Common Questions Is this part compatible with vertical installations? No, the 68-101806-04 is a dedicated horizontal drain pan assembly. It is designed to be installed on the side of the indoor cooling coil when the furnace or air handler is positioned horizontally. What causes these pans to fail in the field? Field failure is common when uninsulated pans sweat or when generic plastics crack due to thermal cycling. This genuine Rheem part addresses these issues with heat-resistant plastic and factory-applied drain pan insulation. Are the drain plugs included with this assembly? Yes, the assembly is designed to work with standard 3/4-inch NPT fittings, and proper NPT threaded plugs are typically part of the professional installation kit for the secondary drain ports.
