Manual 2100-587BPage 29 of 5921. STANDARD ORIFICE SIZING ANDHIGH ALTITUDE DERATEThis furnace is shipped with fixed gas orifices for usewith Natural Gas and sized for 1000 BTU/cubic footgas. Make sure actual gas input does not exceed ratingplate input. You may need to change orifices to getcorrect gas input. Whether you do or not depends oninput, and your gas heat value at standard conditionsand elevation. Consult your local gas supplier for gasheat value and any special derating requirements. SeeSection 20 for more information.At higher altitudes, the density of the air is reduced.Therefore, for proper combustion, the quantity of gasTABLE 7NATURAL GAS DERATE CAPACITIESFOR ALL MODELSSEITICAPACETAREDSAGLARUTANdetaRGWtupnI leveLaeS 0001 0002 0003 0004 0005 0006000,54 000,54 065,34 021,24 086,04 006,93 088,83 089,73000,05 000,05 004,84 008,64 002,54 000,44 002,34 002,24005,76 005,76 043,56 081,36 020,16 004,95 023,85 079,65000,57 000,57 006,27 002,07 008,76 000,66 008,46 003,36000,09 000,09 021,78 042,48 063,18 002,97 067,77 069,57000,001 000,001 008,69 006,39 004,09 000,88 004,68 004,48005,211 005,211 009,801 003,501 007,101 000,99 002,79 059,49000,521 000,521 000,121 000,711 000,311 000,011 000,801 005,501burned in the furnace must also be reduced. This iscalled derating. This unit must be derated wheninstalled at altitudes greater than 6,000 feet above sealevel. A high altitude pressure switch must also beinstalled for operation above 6,000 feet. High altitudepressure switch kit number 8620-189 is designed forthis application.It is the installer’s responsibility to see that the furnaceinput rate is adjusted properly. Derating must beachieved by reducing the size of the main burnerorifices. Derating the furnace by adjusting the manifoldpressure lower than the range specified in the Section19, “Manifold Pressure Adjustment” is considered to bean improper procedure.
