Rheem 901697 Offset Vent Pipe Furnace Accessory

Product Description

The RHEEM 901697 is an offset vent pipe designed for use in residential furnace venting applications. This accessory allows technicians to route flue gas exhaust at an angle, accommodating installations where a straight vertical or horizontal run is not possible. It is part of the venting system and connects to the furnace flue outlet to direct combustion gases safely out of the structure. Licensed HVAC contractors install this component as part of a complete venting assembly during new system installation or service.

This offset vent pipe is used in residential furnace installations where venting geometry requires a directional change. It is suited for gas furnace applications where the flue routing must transition around structural obstructions or align with an existing vent termination point. The part measures 10 inches in width, making it appropriate for standard residential vent configurations requiring this size.

Key Features

• Offset design allows directional routing of furnace flue exhaust
• 10-inch width suits standard residential furnace venting requirements
• Functions as a furnace venting accessory within the exhaust pathway
• OEM RHEEM part ensures dimensional fit within manufacturer-specified venting assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement venting accessory for RHEEM residential gas furnace systems requiring offset vent pipe routing.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed or otherwise qualified HVAC contractor in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions and all applicable local, state, and national codes, including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut down the furnace and allow the flue system to cool completely before disconnecting or replacing any venting components. Verify that all vent joints are properly sealed and that the completed assembly meets clearance requirements for combustibles. Do not operate the system without confirming the full venting pathway is intact and unobstructed.
