GAS FURNACES

The Rheem®95% A.F.U.E. High Efficiency line of upflow gas
furnaces are designed for utility rooms, closets or alcoves.

The design is certified by CSA.

Features

■ Heat exchanger is constructed of all stainless steel for

maximum corrosion resistance and thermal fatigue
reliability.

■ Low profile “34 inch” design is lighter and easier to han-

dle and leaves room for optional accessories.

■ Left or right side gas, electric, and condensate drainage

connections on upflow models.

■ Integrated control board manages all operational func-

tions and provides hookups for humidifier and electronic
air cleaner.

■ An insulated blower compartment, a slow-opening gas

valve and a specially designed inducer system make it
one of the quietest furnaces on the market today.

■ Pre-paint galvanized steel cabinet.

■ Molded permanent filters.

■ Optional indoor or outdoor combustion air. In addition,

combustion air may be piped to either the top or side of
the cabinet on all upflow models. A special molded fitting
is provided to ease installation.

■ Control fuse protection.

■ Solid bottom is standard.

■ Control board diagnostics.

A variety of cooling coils and plenums designed to use with
the Classic 95% A.F.U.E. gas furnaces are available as
optional accessories for air conditioning models.

✝A.F.U.E. (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) calculated in accordance with Department

of Energy test procedures.
