ALTITUDE COMPENSATION* —
580F180-300
*Includes a 4% input reduction per each 1,000 feet.
†Orifices available through your Bryant dealer.
ALTITUDE DERATING FACTOR*
*Derating of the unit is not required unless the heating value of the gas
exceeds the values listed in the table above, or if the elevation
exceeds 6000 ft. Derating conditions must be 4% per thousand ft
above 2000 ft. For example, at 4000 ft, if the heating value of the gas
exceeds 1000 Btu/ft
3
, the unit will require a 16% derating. For ele-
vations above 6000 ft, the same formula applies. For example, at 7000
ft, the unit will require a 28% derating of the maximum heating value
per the National Fuel Gas Code.
IMPORTANT: Local utility companies may be reducing heat content of
gas at altitudes above 2000 ft. If this is being done, changing spuds
may not be required.
