260572 Suburban VENT CAP/RAIN SHIELD 8″

The Suburban 260572 Vent Cap / Rain Shield is an OEM exterior vent cap designed to protect Suburban furnace exhaust assemblies from rainwater intrusion. Built from durable exterior‑grade materials, this cap mounts over the furnace exhaust tube and prevents water from entering the combustion chamber — a common cause of ignition failure, rust, and burner contamination.

This 8" vent cap is used across multiple Suburban furnace platforms and is a direct replacement for damaged, corroded, or missing caps. It installs quickly using the factory mounting pattern and maintains proper airflow and exhaust performance.
