The Bard 8602-097BX is an OEM 1/4 inch by 16-5/8 inch rod supplied boxed, commonly used as a linkage or support rod in Bard wall-mount HVAC assemblies where proper alignment and smooth movement of related components matters. Replacing a bent or missing rod helps restore correct mechanical positioning so doors, dampers, or internal brackets can operate as intended without binding. Because rods like this are often model and application specific, match the measurements and verify placement against your unit’s parts breakdown before ordering to ensure correct fit and function with your Bard equipment.
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.
