Table shows 4% Input Reduction per 1,000 ft. (304.8 m) Elevation. Reference Source: NFPA No. 54, ANSI Z 223.1, National Fuel Gas Code.
For Canadian high altitude {2000 - 4500 ft. (609.6 - 1,371.6)}, reduce gas manifold pressure to 3.0” w.c. (0.75 kPa) for Natural gas and for Propane gas.
SIZING FURNACE INPUT
The orifice spud supplied with all burners is the size for the minimum BTU input of the burner for the type gas shown on the rating plate. Table 18 shows the correct drill size for various inputs.
The correct manifold pressure for natural and LP gas is 3.5" w.c (0.87 kPa). Only minor adjustments in the input rate should be made by adjusting the pressure regulator. The minimum manifold pressure should be 3.0" w.c. (0.75 kPa) and the maximum pressure should be
3.5w.c. (0.87 kPa) the next size larger or smaller orifice size should be used if the desired input rating cannot be obtained within the above manifold pressure adjustment range.
TABLE 19: Gas Burner Settings
Gas | Firing Rate | Orifice | Air Shutter |
(@ 3.5” W.C.) | BTU/Hr (kw) | Size | Setting |

Natural | 84,000 (24.6) | 0.166” (4.22 mm) | 3.5 |

LP | 66,000 (19.3) | 0.116” (2.95 mm) | 2.0 |

NOTE: The BTU input valves in the above table show the approximate hourly input of the burner for the various drill sizes shown. To determine the actual input of the burner, turn off all other gas appliances.
