This assembly functions as the primary \"brain\" for combustion safety, pulling air through the heat exchanger to ensure a proper fuel-to-air mixture before the ignition cycle begins. Specifically optimized for the \u003cstrong\u003eRGRM, RGRA, and RGLQ\u003c\/strong\u003e series, this factory-authorized PROTECH™ part maintains the negative pressure required to close the furnace pressure switch. Replacing a failing inducer with this genuine kit fixes specific \"no-heat\" lockout issues and eliminates the high-pitched \"bearing squeal\" often found in aging motors, ensuring your system operates at peak 80% to 90%+ AFUE efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete OEM Kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003cstrong\u003e70-23641-86\u003c\/strong\u003e is a direct factory replacement that includes a high-temperature \u003cstrong\u003efiber gasket\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring a gas-tight seal against the collector box without the need for messy RTV silicone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision RPM Calibration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory-rated at \u003cstrong\u003e3000 RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e, providing the exact static pressure needed to satisfy safety switches and prevent \"pressure switch open\" fault codes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResolved Noise \u0026amp; Vibration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features a dynamically balanced cooling fan and high-grade internal bearings to fix specific mechanical humming or rattling issues common in older inducer housings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety Monitoring Integration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered to work seamlessly with the furnace's limit circuit, providing constant airflow to purge the heat exchanger of residual gases before and after each heating cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable Corrosion-Resistant Housing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Constructed from heavy-duty materials to withstand the acidic condensate and high-heat environment of a modern furnace exhaust path.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e PROTECH™ (Rheem \/ Ruud \/ WeatherKing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rheem Manufacturing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70-23641-86\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 115 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3000 RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shaded Pole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inducer Motor, Blower Wheel, Housing, and Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e🛠️ HVAC Depot Pro Tip\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore removing your old draft blower, \u003cstrong\u003etake a high-resolution picture of the wiring and the vacuum hose connections.\u003c\/strong\u003e For the \u003cstrong\u003e70-23641-86\u003c\/strong\u003e to work correctly, the small rubber pressure switch tubing must be free of cracks and seated tightly on the new housing's nipple.
