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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Part Number: 20171701\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: Condensate drain trap with water seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Goodman GCH950703BXAA gas furnace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipment Type: 96% AFUE Condensing Gas Furnace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Molded condensate-rated polymer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Goodman (OEM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe OEM trap is molded to match the exact port spacing, inlet\/outlet geometry, and mounting of the GCH95 cabinet.
