1. High Altitude Installation

For U.S. installation, appliances are tested and approved for elevations from 0-2000 feet. When installing this Imperial Gas Log Set at an elevation above 2000 feet, National Fuel Gas Codes require a decrease of the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input should be reduced 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level. Check with the local gas utility for proper orifice size identification. The current orifice is available from your Heatilator distributor.

For Canada, appliances are certified for elevations from 0-4500 feet. When installing this Imperial Gas Log Set at an elevation between 0-4500 feet in Canada, the input rating does not need to be reduced. When installing this log set at an elevation above 4500 feet in Canada, check with local authorities.
