This kit contains the appropriate burner orifices, and/or pressure switch for the application of 90% furnaces in installations
above their maximum (as shipped) rated altitudes. These kits
are not applicable in Canada. Kits apply as shown in the
table below.

Above an altitude of 7,000 feet, a derating of the appliance
must be followed since the CFM moved by the induced draft
blower remains almost constant while the pounds of oxygen
in that air is reduced as altitude increases. If this procedure
is not followed and the fuel input is not reduced the resulting
combustion can be inefficient, incomplete, or possibly cause
premature heat exchanger failure due to excessive temperature rise. The burner orifices in the high altitude kits have
been selected as a result of agency certified testing at high
altitude and will provide the appropriate derating (Table 2).

Orifice selection is based on non-derated gas [at standard
conditions of 29.92 in Hg and 60°F—approximately 1,000 Btu/
ft3 for natural gas and 2,500 Btu/ft3 for propane]. NOTE:
“Point of use” Btu content will be less due to decreased
atmospheric pressure. If the Btu content of your gas sup-
ply has been artificially changed to account for altitude, contact your gas supplier for orifice sizing.

Gas Derate
Table 2
Do not derate by adjusting the manifold pressure to a
lower pressure setting than specified on the furnace
nameplate. A lower air density in combination with a lower
manifold pressure at the burner orifice will prevent the orifice
from aspirating the proper amount of air into the burner required for complete combustion.
In addition to using smaller orifices to reduce the fuel input, a
different pressure switch must be used above the maximum
(as shipped) rated altitude. A high altitude pressure switch is
necessary as a result of the reduction in air density and is
required regardless of the Btu content of the fuel used.

RECOGNIZE THIS SYMBOL AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION
ATTENTION INSTALLING PERSONNEL
As a professional installer you have an obligation to know the product better than the customer.
This includes all safety precautions and related items.
Prior to actual installation, thoroughly familiarize yourself with this Instruction Manual.
Pay special attention to all safety warnings. Often during installation or repair it is possible to place
yourself in a position which is more hazardous than when the unit is in operation.
Remember, it is your responsibility to install the product safely and to know it
well enough to be able to instruct a customer in its safe use.
Safety is a matter of common sense...a matter of thinking before acting.
Most dealers have a list of specific good safety practices...follow them.
The precautions listed in this Installation Manual are intended as supplemental to existing practices.
However, if there is a direct conflict between existing practices and the content of this manual,
the precautions listed here take precedence.

NOTE: T o ensure proper operation, install, operate and main-
tain the unit in accordance with these installation instructions,
all local building codes and ordinances. In their absence,
follow the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code (NFP A
54/ANSI Z223.1), and/or CAN/CSA B149.1 Installation Codes.

The conversion from “standard altitude” orifices (as shipped
from the factory) to “high altitude” orifices requires:
•Removing gas manifold
•Replacing burner orifices
•Reinstalling gas manifold
Before proceeding, shut OFF gas supply at manual shut-off
and turn off power to the unit.

GAS MANIFOLD REMOVAL
1.Shut OFF gas supply at manual shutoff and turn OFF
power to the unit.
2.Disconnect wiring from the gas valve.
3.Where necessary, cut wire ties securing wiring to manifold.
4.Remove the screws securing the gas manifold and valve to
the burner bracket. Separate gas manifold and valve from
burner bracket.

Change for propane gas (HALP13).
ADJUSTMENTS AND CHECKS - HANG16
The following adjustments and checks are a required part of
this ocnversion. Adjustment and checks include:
•Leak checking orifices
•Checking and adjusting line and manifold gas pressures
•V erfying proper unit operation (input rate, operational
sequence, burner flame, temperature rise, etc.)
Before proceeding, shut OFF gas supply at manual shut-off
and turn off power to the unit.

BURNER ORIFICE REPLACEMENT
1.Remove standard altitude natural gas orifices from gas
manifold using a box end wrench.
2.Install high altitude gas orifices supplied in the high alti-
tude kit. Tighten orifices with a box-end wrench; do not
use a socket wrench as it could damage the orifices; do
not cross-thread or overtighten. Refer to Tables 1 and 2
for the appropriate high altitude kit and orifice size. Ori-
fice usage depends on an installation’s gas usage (natural or propane) and altitude.
GAS MANIFOLD RE-INSTALLATION
1.Reinstall gas manifold and valve. Make certain that the
orifices are inserted in each burner and that each burner
remains properly seated in the burner bracket.
(NOTE: Secure green burner assembly ground wire with
manifold screw).
2.Reconnect wiring to gas valve. Secure wiring to manifold
using wire ties provided.
ORIFICE LEAK CHECK
Leak check burner orifice threads using a soap solution.
LINE PRESSURE CHECK
1.Shut OFF gas at the manual gas shutoff valve and turn
OFF power to the unit.
2.Connect a calibrated water manometer or appropriate gas
pressure gauge at either the gas valve inlet pressure tap
or gas piping drip leg.
3.Turn ON the power and gas, put the unit into heating cycle
and turn on all other gas consuming appliances.
4.Measure the gas supply pressure with the burners firing.
The inlet gas pressure for natural gas should be between
5.0 and 10.0 inches W .C. If supply pressure differs from
required, make necessary adjustments to pressure
regulator(s), gas piping, etc.
