Criterion II line of upflow/horizontal gas fur-
naces are designed for utility rooms, closets, alcoves, or
attics. Because of the Criterion’s low-profile 34 inch
[864 mm] height, the upflow model can also be used to
satisfy most applications that traditionally call for a
horizontal furnace.
The design is certified by CSA International.
Features
■ Patented Heat Exchanger, constructed of both stainless
and aluminized steel for the maximum in corrosion
resistance.
■ Low profile “34 inch” design is lighter and easier to han-
dle, and leaves room for optional equipment.
■ Convertible from upflow to horizontal left or right without
field conversion.
■ Left or right side gas and electric inlet connections with
quick, simple change.
■ Direct spark ignition models utilize remote sense and fea-
ture an integrated board with humidifier and electronic air
cleaner hookups.
■ Insulated blower compartment helps to reduce jacket loss
and noise.
■ Pre-paint galvanized steel cabinet.
■ Molded permanent filter.
■ Grab-holes in doors to aid in easy door removal and
replacement.
A variety of cooling coils and plenums designed to use with
Rheem Criterion II gas furnaces are available as optional
accessories.
These furnaces can be installed in an upflow position or laid
on either side in a horizontal position. Field conversion not
required.
