The Bard 523-162BX is an OEM stainless steel drain pan assembly used in select Bard wall-mount air conditioner configurations to capture and route condensate away from the evaporator section, helping prevent water carryover, corrosion issues, and cabinet damage caused by improper drainage. A correctly fitted drain pan is critical for maintaining proper airflow and keeping moisture where it belongs, especially in high humidity applications where condensate volume is higher. Because drain pan styles and coil sections vary by model and vintage, match the part number from your unit data tag or the Bard parts breakdown before ordering to confirm correct fit and drain connection alignment.
Bard uses suffixes like "BX" to manage parts internally. These do not change the physical form or function of the part.
A part number ending in "BX" simply means it is packaged in a box for shipping, rather than for internal assembly use.
Example: 8406-142BX is physically identical to 8406-142.
