Is there any trick to replacing the trap? Does it need to be done by
a pro or can I do it myself?

My trap is cracked and leaking, see pics: http://farrelltcs.com/furnace

Thanks!

====================

It's no big deal...

To make it simple, get the OEM trap. Just make sure to put water in it... or
it could cause a failure, till it gets filled up.

And put a cap on the clean-out.

Thanks. Do you know -- for a Lennox G41 furnace, is this the right
trap? I am having a hard time determining which trap model # to buy.
It's not listed in the furnace manual.

It looks the same, but I want to be sure.
