GAS FURNACES
The Rheem®Classic®90 Plus®High Efficiency line of downflow/horizontal gas furnaces are designed for utility rooms,
closets, alcoves, attics or crawl spaces. The RGTC is
shipped in the downflow configuration and is easily converted for horizontal left-hand airflow applications.
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.
■ Top electrical connections, left or right gas and conden-
sate drainage connections on downflow models.
■ Condensate drain for horizontal application provided
standard.
■ 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.
■ Transformer and control fuse protection.
■ Control board diagnostics.
A variety of cooling coils and plenums designed to use with
the Classic 90 Plus 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.
