When installing a non-high altitude fireplace
at an elevation above 2,000 feet, you may
need to decrease the input rating by changing
the existing burner orifice to a smaller size.
Reduce input 4% for each 1,000 feet above
sea level. Check with your local gas company
for proper orifice size identification.
Consult your local gas company to help deter-
mine the proper orifice for your location.
