Bard part number S168-096 is an OEM collector box assembly used on Bard TU044 gas furnace units, listed in Bard parts manual 2110-873 under cabinet components. This collector box is a formed internal sheet metal component that helps route and manage air movement within the furnace cabinet so the unit can operate safely and consistently after service. Because fit and clearances inside the TU cabinet matter, replacing a damaged or corroded collector box with the correct Bard OEM part helps avoid air leaks, vibration, and nuisance issues that can come from mismatched aftermarket fabrication. Verify your exact TU044 model and serial number before ordering to ensure this is the correct factory match.
