For altitudes above 2,000 ft. ratings should be reduced at therate of4_ for each 1,000ft. above sea level•
Heating Capacity is based on D.O.E (Deparirnent of Energy) test procedure.
**Add 5 ½" to height for Vent Damper.
The Ratings marked "Net I=B-R Ratings" indicate the amount of remaining heat input that can be used to heat the radiation or terminal
Units. The net I=B=R Ratings shown are based on an allowance of 1.15 in accordance with the factors shown on the I=B=R Standard
as published by the Hydronies Institute. Selection of boiler size should be based upon "Net I=B=R Rating" being equal to or greater
than the calculated heat loss of the building. The Manufacturer should be consulted before selecting a boiler for installations having
unusual piping and pickup requirements. These boilers must stand on a non-combustible floor. If installed on a combustible floor, use
Combustible Floor Base Number 42135-1 or 146-14-031 (3-6 section boilers) or 42135-2 or 146-14-032 (7-9 section boilers).
BOILERS FOR USE AT HIGH ALTITUDE
This boiler is factory equipped for use at altitudes of 0-2,000 feet above sea level. For use at altitudes above sea level, the input
ratings are reduced by a change in main orifice size.
For altitudes above 2,000 feet above sea level, input ratings should be reduced at the rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet
above sea level. Consult the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1-1atest edition), or the manufacturer for correct orifice
sizing information. High altitude orifices are available from the boiler manufacturer.
