HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS FOR ELEVATIONS OVER 2,000
FEET (914.5 m) ABOVE SEA LEVEL
The capacity of the induced draft blower declines with increasing altitude due to a
reduction in the air density. In order to assure safe and reliable performance of
the water heater, the following guidelines must be followed. Refer to the venting
tables below for maximum distances for the altitudes in your location.
