Abstract
A furnace flue gas draft inducer outlet box assembly is provided for connecting an inducer housing to a vent pipe, and comprises a plurality of differently directed openings to allow the vent pipe to be connected thereto in one of a plurality of different orientations, thereby facilitating ease of installation of the furnace. When incorporated with a condensing furnace, the inducer outlet assembly further comprises a condensate collecting system for collecting a return flow of condensate formed in a vent pipe and for delivering the condensate out of the inducer housing to prevent contact with the inducer motor, wheel and the like.
