Fire and Explosion Hazard
Under no circumstances should the
input exceed the rate shown on the
water heater's rating label.
Overfiring could result in fire or
explosion.
Gas and carbon monoxide detectors are
available.

replacement of burner orifices in accordance with current
edition of the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1). For
Canadian installations consult Canadian Installations Code
CAN/CSA B149.1. Failure to replace orifices will result in
improper and inefficient operation of the water heater resulting
in the production of increased levels of carbon monoxide gas
in excess of safe limits which could result in serious personal
injury or death.
you should contact your gas supplier for any specific changes
which may be required in your area.
As the elevation above sea level is increased, there is less
oxygen per cubic foot of air. Therefore, the heater input rate
should be reduced at high altitudes for satisfactory operation
with the reduced oxygen supply. Failure to make this reduction
would result in an over firing of the heater causing sooting,
poor combustion and/or unsatisfactory heater performance.
ratings specified by manufacturers for most appliances apply
for elevations up to 2000 feet (610m). For elevations above
2000 feet (610), ratings must be reduced at the rate of 4%
for each 1000 feet (305m) above sea level. For example, if a
heater is rated at 78,000 Btuh (22.9 kwh) at sea level, to rate
the heater at 4000 feet (1219m), you subtract 4 (once for each
thousand feet) x.04 (4% input reduction) x 78,000 (original
rating) from the original rating.
Therefore, to calculate the input rating at 4,000 feet (1219m):
4 x .04 x 78,000 = 12,480 Btuh (3.7 kwh), 78,000 (22.9 kwh) -
12,480 (3.7 kwh) = 65,520 Btuh (19.2 kwh). At 6000 feet (1829m)
the correct input rating should be 59,280 Btuh (17.4 kwh).
