For altitudes above 2,000 ft. ratings should be reduced at the rate of 4 _ for each 1,000 ft. 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

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.
