Bard part S168-054 is an OEM flue collector box assembly used in Bard wall mounted gas/electric and other fuel fired package equipment to gather the burner exhaust stream and route it into the venting path for safe discharge. When the original collector box is cracked, warped, or leaking, it can lead to poor draft, nuisance pressure switch issues, or unsafe combustion byproducts escaping into the cabinet. Replacing it with the correct Bard factory assembly helps restore proper combustion airflow management and maintains the intended seal and alignment with the inducer and flue connection points. Always confirm compatibility by matching your unit model and serial information to the Bard parts list before ordering, and replace any related gaskets or seals as required by the service manual.
