SETTING THE INLET GAS PRESSURE FOR HIGH ALTITUDES
The pressure regulator provided with the heater is set to deliver the proper gas pressure (as
indicated on the rating plate and in the manual) for altitude up to 2500 feet (758 meters) above sea
level. On appliances being installed above 2500 ft/ 758 m elevation, the inlet gas pressure should
be reset at installation to the value shown below for the altitude of the installation.
NOTE: The gas pressures specified below refer to pressures taken at the test pressure
nipple on the manual gas valve as shown in fig.3 page 9. These readings should be taken
while the heater is operating at full output --i.e. maximum water flow with the temperature
setting on #8.
