Installing Gas Piping to Fireplace

When installing this fireplace in the USA at an elevation above 2000 feet (610 m), you may need to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Reduce input 4% for each 1000 feet (305 m) above sea level. Check with your local gas company for proper derate procedure and orifice size.

When installing this fireplace in Canada at an elevation above 4500 feet (1372 m), Check with local or provincial code authorities.

Consult your local gas company to help determine the proper orifice for your location.
