Our take

The verdict

The best thing about the Rheem RTG20280-1 Vent Termination Kit is 2" stainless horizontal venting. No buyer reviews yet, so this Rheem vent kit has to win you over on paper. Honestly, the catch: a vent part is only safe if your heater's manual approves that exact system. We'd pick it if your heater manual lists this exact vent system; otherwise, put it next to the GASLAND 3" Stainless Vent Pipe Kit first.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the Rheem RTG20280-1 Vent Termination Kit, check your heater's vent list: it is 2" pipe, and only the vent parts your heater's manual approves are safe.
