The flue collector box channels hot combustion gases exiting the heat exchanger toward the inducer and vent, and a cracked, corroded, or warped collector box is a common cause of flue-gas leaks, rollout trips, and failed combustion draft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Part Number: 0161F00018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible Model: AMES920804CNAA (80,000 BTU, 92% AFUE upflow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCategory: Flue \/ Vent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: High-temperature molded composite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit: Direct OEM replacement — no modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: Residential gas furnace combustion path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe genuine OEM 0161F00018 is molded to the exact dimensions and gasket seating surfaces of the original, ensuring a proper airtight seal against the heat exchanger and inducer housing. Aftermarket collector boxes frequently have off-spec flange geometry that leads to condensate pooling and combustion leaks. Because this part sits directly in the flue path, we strongly recommend the OEM component for both safety and warranty compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Difficulty\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModerate — Professional Recommended.\u003c\/strong\u003e Replacing the flue collector box requires disconnecting the inducer assembly, removing the burner\/heat-exchanger fasteners, and reseating the gasket.
