For installations above 2,000 feet, reduce
the input per the the National Gas Fuel
Code for each 1,00 feet above sea level.
Contact the local gas supplier for further
information.
WARNING: Failure to
install a water heater
suitable for the altitude at
the location it is intended to
serve, can result in
improper operation of the
appliance resulting in
property damage and/or,
producing carbon monoxide
