Breathing Hazard - Carbon Monoxide Gas
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause brain damage or
death. Always read and understand instruction manual.
Under no circumstances should
the input exceed the rate shown
on the water heater’s rating label.
Overfiring could result in damage to
the water heater and sooting.
Gas and carbon monoxide detectors
are available.

You should contact your gas supplier for any specific changes
which may be required in your area.
As 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).
note: The actual firing rate of the water heater must not
exceed the input rating on the water heater's rating label
under any circumstances.
note: Due to the input rating reduction at high altitudes, the
output rating of the appliance is also reduced and should
be compensated for in the sizing of the equipment for
applications.
See the Circulation Pump Wiring Diagrams (Figure 8, Figure
9) in this manual for electrical hookup information. Install in
accordance with the current edition of the national Electrical
Code, nFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
All-bronze or stainless steel circulating pumps are recommended
for use with commercial water heaters.
Some circulating pumps are manufactured with sealed bearings
and do not require further lubrication. Some circulating pumps
must be periodically oiled. Refer to the pump manufacturer’s
instructions for lubrication requirements.

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