- For altitudes in the range of 2,000-4,500
feet above sea level, boilers may be field equipped for use
at high altitude by using a certified field conversion kit. The
change in main burner orifice size results in the boiler’s
input rating being reduced by 10%. The conversion shall

representative, in accordance with the requirements of the
manufacturer, provincial or territorial authorities having

CSA-B149.1 and CSA-B149.2 Installation Codes. The
certified field conversion kit includes a conversion data
plate, which must be attached to the boiler adjacent to the
rating plate, indicating that the boiler has been converted
for high altitude use. The conversion data plate must be
filled in with the correct conversion information.

particulates such as from drywall dust and from fiberglass
insulation can clog the burner ports and cause incomplete
combustion and sooting.
Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, the
installation must conform to American Society of Mechanical
Engineers Safety Code for Controls and Safety Devices for
Automatically Fired Boilers, No. CSD-1.
The installation must conform to the requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such
requirements, to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-
latest revision.
In Canada, the boiler shall be installed according to CSA-
13149.1 and .2, Installation Code for Gas Burning
Appliances and Equipment.
