The Rheem
®
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.
