dtontarski Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I came across this furnace in a 1987 home. There was no cover on it and no manufacturers labeling that I could find. This was vented as a power vent unit horizontally through a single wall vent connector - is this correct? It wouldn't respond to the thermostat so an HVAC guy was called on the spot, and I had my hands full with a myriad of other issues and I never came back this, but I would like enlightenment on this if anyone can help - anyone know the manufacturer or the model number?

AHI in AR Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 The color scheme looks like an old Rheem one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a late 1980s Rheem Ghreen as Kevin pointed out. About 75,000 btu/hr. I'd have removed the flame shield and looked inside. It's usually really easy to see cracks in these. -Jim Katen, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 1980's Rheem. I can send you a data plate photo. They were quite popular in our neck of the woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I agree with everyone above. Couple of screws removed and you can see everything. Note the burned matches - why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
