The maximum allowable reduction in manifold pressure for Natural gas shall be from 3.5” w.c. (.872kPa) to 2.8” w.c. (.697kPa). The maximum allowable reduction in manifold pressure for Propane (LP) gas shall be from 10.0” w.c. (2.49kPa) to 8.0” w.c. (1.99kPa). For Canadian high altitude applications, this appliance is suitable for installation at elevations between 0 feet (0m) and 4,500 feet (1,372m) without change.
