Heil Quaker ICP 1178417 Tube
When you're troubleshooting a pressure switch trip or a furnace that won't sequence past the inducer stage, checking the condition of your draft inducer tubing is a standard first step. This genuine Heil Quaker ICP 1178417 Tube is a 2-foot OEM replacement designed specifically to maintain a reliable pneumatic connection between the furnace pressure switch and the collector box or inducer housing. In high-efficiency and standard-efficiency systems, this 2ft vent pressure tube ensures the diaphragm receives an accurate negative pressure signal, preventing nuisance "Open Pressure Switch" fault codes caused by brittle, cracked, or kinked lines.
Fabricated from high-grade, heat-resistant elastomer, this ICP furnace replacement part is engineered to withstand the thermal stress and moisture common in condensing furnace cabinets. A precise fit is critical for HVAC system diagnostics; air leaks at the barb connection can lead to insufficient "WC readings on your manometer, even if the inducer motor is pulling the correct draft. Measuring 2 feet in length, it provides ample slack to prevent tension-related failures while allowing for custom routing to avoid "low spots" where condensate buildup could obstruct the pressure signal and lock out the ignition sequence.
Key Benefits for the Contractor:
- OEM Compatibility: Precision-fit for ICP brands including Heil, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and Arcoaire, ensuring the pressure switch hose matches factory specifications.
- Durable Elastomer Construction: Resists the hardening and cracking that leads to vacuum leaks and intermittent system lockouts.
- Optimal Length: The 2-foot span allows for clean routing and the creation of proper slopes to mitigate moisture accumulation.
- Accurate Signal Transfer: Maintains a tight seal on the pressure ports to ensure the negative pressure signal accurately reflects the inducerÆs performance.
Common Questions & Troubleshooting:
- Why is there water in my 1178417 tube? Condensate can back up if the tube has a "belly" or low spot. Always route the tubing to drain back toward the collector box to prevent water from reaching the pressure switch diaphragm.
- Will this fix a Code 3 or 'Pressure Switch Open' error? If your manometer shows a strong draft but the switch isn't closing, a cracked or blocked vent pressure tube is often the culprit before the switch itself.
- Can I use universal tubing instead? While possible, this OEM ICP 1178417 part is rated for the specific heat and suction requirements of Heil Quaker units, ensuring long-term reliability without collapsing under vacuum.
