Lennox 17F38 Collector Box
The Lennox 17F38 Collector Box is a critical OEM replacement component engineered for high-efficiency condensing furnaces. As a primary furnace flue collector, this part is responsible for gathering combustion byproducts and corrosive condensate from the secondary heat exchanger and channeling them safely toward the inducer motor and drainage system. Manufactured with high-grade, heat-resistant composite materials, the Lennox 17F38 is designed to withstand the acidic environment created during the combustion process, preventing leaks that can lead to pressure switch trips or internal cabinet corrosion. For contractors performing a Lennox furnace repair, utilizing this genuine OEM HVAC part ensures precise alignment with the heat exchanger discharge, maintaining the specified static pressure required for safe venting. This collector box assembly is a direct fit for several residential and light commercial units, serving as a reliable solution for cracked or warped housings that compromise system vacuum and efficiency.
Key Benefits
- OEM Precision: Ensures a perfect seal between the secondary heat exchanger and the exhaust system, preventing flue gas leakage.
- Corrosion Resistance: Engineered to handle high-acid condensate produced by Lennox condensing furnaces.
- System Reliability: Restores proper combustion airflow and prevents nuisance pressure switch errors caused by vacuum leaks.
- Durable Construction: Built to endure rapid temperature fluctuations within the furnace cabinet during heating cycles.
Common Questions
How do I know if my Lennox collector box is leaking?
Technicians typically find white crusty deposits (calcification) or water stains at the seams of the box or near the inducer inlet, indicating a failure in the collector box seal or a crack in the housing.
Is the gasket included with the 17F38?
While some kits vary, this replacement collector box involves a mating surface that often requires a high-temperature silicone or a specific gasket; always verify the model-specific requirements for your Lennox heat exchanger assembly.
What causes a collector box to crack?
Overheating due to restricted airflow or age-related stress from thousands of thermal expansion cycles can cause the composite material to become brittle over time.
