The Goodman 20171701 is a genuine OEM condensate drain trap designed as a direct-fit replacement for the GCH950703BXAA 96% AFUE gas furnace. In high-efficiency condensing furnaces, the secondary heat exchanger produces acidic condensate that must drain away safely. This trap maintains a water seal that allows condensate to flow out while preventing flue gases and combustion pressure from escaping through the drain line — a key part of both proper operation and safe venting.
The OEM trap is molded to match the exact port spacing, inlet/outlet geometry, and mounting of the GCH95 cabinet. Generic traps frequently require adapters, leak at mismatched fittings, or hold the wrong water-seal depth — leading to pressure-switch faults and lockouts. The 20171701 drops in without modification.
A typical swap takes 15–25 minutes. Turn off power and gas before servicing. Disconnect the drain hoses, remove the old trap, clear any sludge, install the new trap in the same orientation, and reconnect the hoses. Prime the trap with water before restarting to establish the seal. A clogged or cracked trap is a common cause of furnace short-cycling, so replacement often restores reliable heating immediately.
Genuine Goodman OEM part — the correct, no-guesswork repair.
