APPENDIX D - DE-RATING FOR ALTITUDE INSTALLATION
When the appliance is installed at an altitude higher than 2000 ft, the fan speed must be set to the maximum of the available range in
any case and a de-rating of the input capacity must be considered in function of the altitude combined with the total length of the vent
and combustion air pipe as reported in the following table (input BTU/hr)
NOTE:
The following chart compensates for the affects of altitude on the energy content of the gas supply. No additional de-rate required.

10,000 360,695 354,32 348,07 341,92
To calculate the de-rating of the input capacity, follow this example:
The total equivalent length of the ue system is 55+35 = 90 ft. The maximum equivalent length for this type of installation is 100 ft (see
“Appendix G - Venting Size Data”).
The % range is 90/100 = 90%. This value is within the 75% and 100%.
