RHEEM Outlet Duct Adapter Kit SP17829

The Rheem SP17829 is a genuine OEM Outlet Duct Adapter Kit designed specifically for Rheem ProTerra and other hybrid (heat pump) electric water heaters. This high-density polyethylene (HDPE) adapter enables you to connect standard ducting to the unit’s outlet, allowing the cooler, drier exhaust air produced by the heat pump to be redirected away from the installation area—such as into another room, attic, or outdoors.
