Installation and replacement of gas piping, gas utilization equipment 

or accessories and repair and servicing of equipment shall be per-

formed only by a qualified agency. The term "qualified agency" means 

any individual, firm, corporation or company which either in person 

or through a representative is engaged in and is responsible for (a) 

the installation or replacement of gas piping or (b) the connection, 

installation, repair or servicing of equipment, who is experienced in 

such work, familiar with all precautions required and has complied 

with all the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.

by  a  licensed  plumber  or  gas  fitter  in  the  Commonwealth  of 

Massachusetts.

High Altitude Installation

When installing this unit at an elevation above 2000 feet (in the 

United States) it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by 

changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Generally, 

input should be reduced 4 percent for each 1000 feet above sea 

level. However, if the heating value of the gas has been reduced, 

this general rule may not apply. Check with local gas utility for proper 

orifice size identification.

For Canadian high altitude applications, this appliance is suitable for 

installation at elevations between 0 feet (0m) and 4,500 (1,370m) 

without change.

When installing this unit at an elevation above 4500 feet  (1,370m) 

(in Canada), check with local authorities.

Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining the proper 

orifice for location.
