Approvals and

Codes

High Altitude Installations

U.L. Listed gas fireplaces are tested and approved for

elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet in the U.S.A. and from 0 to

4,500 feet in Canada.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 2,000

feet (in the United States), it may be necessary to decrease

the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a

smaller size. Input should be reduced four percent (4%) for

each 1,000 feet above sea level, unless the heating value of

the gas has been reduced, in which case this general rule

will not apply. To identify the proper orifice size, check with

the local gas utility.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation between 2,000

and 4,500 feet (in Canada), the input rating must be reduced

by ten percent (10%).
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 4,500

feet (in Canada), check with local authorities.
Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining

the proper orifice for your location.
