Rheem Value Series
Upflow/Horizontal Gas Furnace

RGPS- Series
80% A.F.U.E.†
Input Rates 50-150 kBTU
• The Rheem Value Series line of upflow/horizontal gas
furnaces are designed for utility rooms, closets, alcoves,
or attics. Because of the model’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.
• Unique solid door design leads to quiet operation.
• Patented heat exchanger, constructed of aluminized steel for the
maximum in corrosion resistance and thermal fatigue reliability.
• Low profile “34 inch” [864 mm] design is lighter and easier to
handle, 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 allow
quick and simple change.
• Direct spark ignition with remote sense, features a integrated
board with an electronic air cleaner hookup.
• Prepaint galvanized steel cabinet.
• A slow-open gas valve and a specially designed draft inducer
motor make it one of the quietest furnaces on the market
today.
• Grab-holes in doors to aid in easy door removal and
replacement.
• A variety of cooling coils and plenums designed to use with
Rheem Value Series gas furnaces are available as optional
accessories.
