Rheem-Ruud 70-24071-95 Draft Blower

For service calls involving high-efficiency furnace venting, the Rheem-Ruud 70-24071-95 120V Induced Draft Blower is the technician's standard for restoring the combustion sequence. This OEM furnace inducer motor is specifically engineered to replace failing assemblies in Rheem and Ruud gas furnaces, ensuring that combustion gases are safely evacuated through the heat exchanger and out the vent terminal. Operating at 120V and 60Hz, the unit features a high-temp polymeric housing designed to resist oxidation and thermal stress, common failure points in multi-stage heating systems. This assembly is a discharge right configuration and includes the necessary induced draft blower gasket to preserve a secondary airtight seal, preventing CO leakage and pressure switch trip-outs. Professionals recognize this 70-24071-95 draft inducer for its precise fitment in RGDG, RGLH, RGPH, and RGVH series units, eliminating the downtime associated with universal blowers that require lead modifications.

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Specifically sized for Rheem-Ruud furnace parts catalogs, ensuring the mounting holes and electrical connectors align without field modification.
• Pre-Installed Gasket: Includes a factory-cut high-temperature gasket to ensure a critical seal against the collector box.
• Thermal Resistance: Constructed with a polymeric inducer housing that handles high-static flue gases without warping or corrosion.
• System Safety: Restores proper combustion airflow, allowing the furnace pressure switch to close and the ignition sequence to complete safely.

Is this blower compatible with multi-stage furnaces?
This specific model is a single-stage 120V inducer assembly. While it fits several series, always verify the part number against the original equipment blower's data plate for 2-stage or modulating compatibility.

Does this unit include the cooling fan blade for the motor?
Yes, this is a complete induced draft blower assembly including the internal centrifugal fan, the motor, and the housing, ready for drop-in installation.

What causes the original 70-24071-95 blower to fail?
Common issues include moisture buildup in the housing leading to bearing seize-up or cracks in the polymeric housing due to excessive heat or improper venting pitch.
