Lennox 98W72 Drain Hose
The Lennox 98W72 Drain Hose is a precision-engineered genuine OEM replacement part specifically designed for left-side installation in high-efficiency gas furnaces and air conditioning systems. This rubber drain hose (UH) left, identified by part number 102809-03, is critical for managing condensate drainage and preventing moisture accumulation that can lead to heat exchanger corrosion or internal mold growth. Measuring approximately 8-1/8 inches in length with a 1/2-inch outer diameter, it provides the necessary flexibility for tight routing around internal blower components and heat shields. As a direct substitute for the 102809-03, this component ensures a leak-proof seal at the collector box or drain trap interface, maintaining the static pressure balance required for reliable pressure switch operation. For contractors performing preventative maintenance or emergency repairs, utilizing the 98W72 Lennox part guarantees dimensional accuracy and material compatibility with HVAC chemicals, ensuring the system meets original factory specifications for moisture evacuation.
Key Benefits for Technicians:
- OEM Compatibility: Exact 1:1 replacement for Lennox 102809-03, eliminating the need for field-modified universal tubing.
- Industrial Durability: Constructed from high-grade black rubber resistant to thermal cycling and chemical condensate exposure.
- Optimized Drainage: Smooth bore interior reduces friction and prevents biofilm or sediment buildup in the condensate drain line.
- Critical Equipment Protection: Prevents water backup into the secondary heat exchanger and blower compartment.
Common Questions Regarding the 98W72:
Can this hose be used on the right side of the furnace?
No, the 98W72 is specifically molded for UH Left (Upflow/Horizontal Left) configurations. Right-side installations usually require a different part number to accommodate the specific geometry of the drainage path.
Does this include the hose clamps?
This SKU typically includes the rubber drain hose itself. Technicians should inspect existing spring or worm-gear clamps and replace them if they show signs of tension loss or corrosion.
Is this compatible with other brands besides Lennox?
While functionally similar to parts in some Allied Air, Armstrong, or Concord units, this is a genuine Lennox OEM component. Always verify the specific HVAC replacement part number in the unit's service manual or parts list.
