Important Information Concerning Altitude Impact on Heating Input Ratings
Heating input, and thus heating output, decreases with altitude. No orifice change is required up to 6,000 feet elevation and derate occurs naturally due to altitude impact. Natural gas models may require orifice change based on BTU content of gas. See Natural Gas Orifice and Altitude Tables on next page for details. For Propane Gas see the Propane Gas Conversion Table below.
Above 6,000 feet elevation orifice changes are required, and capacity reductions are a function of altitude impact and orifice change. Pressure switch change is required above 6,000 feet elevation. For Natural Gas see the Orifice and Altitude Tables on next page. For Propane Gas see the Propane Gas Conversion Table below.
