The Rheem
®
Criterion II Plus 2 LXE line of upflow/horizontal
gas furnaces are designed for utility rooms, closets,
alcoves, or attics.
Because of the Criterion’s low-profile
34 inch [864 mm] height, the upflow model installed
vertically can also be used to satisfy most applications
that traditionally call for a horizontal furnace.
The design is certified by CSA International.
