Ruud SP20285 2" Water Heater Vent Kit

Ruud SP20285 2" Water Heater Vent Kit

The Ruud SP20285 is a 2" water heater vent kit engineered to route combustion exhaust safely away from the appliance as part of a complete venting run. Sized for 2" vent connections, this rough-in mechanical component is built for licensed plumbing and HVAC installers working on residential or light-commercial water heater installations. Because it is a behind-the-appliance venting component rather than a visible, finish-grade part, proper alignment and a secure, correctly sized connection into the water heater's flue outlet and the existing vent system are essential to correct operation. Contractors handling new installations, service calls, or vent replacement work on Ruud water heaters can use the SP20285 to complete a properly sized venting assembly with an OEM-fit component designed specifically for Ruud equipment.
