C. High Altitude Installations

U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved without
requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2000 feet in the
U.S.A. and Canada.

When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000 ft,
it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by chang­ing the existing burner orifi ce to a smaller size. Input rate
should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 ft above a 2000 ft
elevation in the U.S.A., or 10% for elevations between 2000
and 4500 ft in Canada. If the heating value of the gas has
been reduced, these rules do not apply. To identify the prop­er orifi ce size, check with the local gas utility.

If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 ft (in
Canada), check with local authorities.

C. Fra

ming Enclosure for LP Gas Supply System

If you build an enclosure for an LP gas cylinder, follow these
recommended specifi cations and local codes:

Ventilation

Enclosures must be ventilated by openings at the level of
the cylinder valve and at fl oor level. Effectiveness must be
determined with the cylinder(s) in place.

• One side of the enclosure must be completely open or,

• For an enclosure having four sides, a top and a bottom:

- At least two ventilation openings at cylinder valve level
shall be provided in the side wall, equally sized, spaced
at 180 degrees (3.14 rad), and unobstructed. Each
opening must have a total free area of not less than
1/2 square inch per pound (3.2 sq. cm/kg) of stored
fuel capacity and not less than a total free area of 10
square inches (64.5 sq. cm).

- Ventilation opening(s) must be provided at fl oor level
and shall have a total free area of not less than 1/2
square inch per pound (3.2 sq. cm/kg) of stored fuel
capacity and not less than a total free area of 10
square inches (64.5 sq. cm). If ventilation openings
at fl oor level are in a side wall, there must be a least
two openings. The bottom of the openings must be
at fl oor level and the upper edge can’t be more than
5 in. (127 mm) above the fl oor. The openings must
be equally sized, spaced at 180 deg (3.14 rad) and
unobstructed.

- Every opening must have minimum dimensions to
permit the entrance of a 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) diameter
rod.

Accessibility

• Cylinder valves must be readily accessible for hand
operation. A door on the enclosure to gain access to the
cylinder valves is acceptable, provided it is non-locking
and can be opened without the use of tools.

• The design of the enclosure must be such that:

- The LP gas supply cylinder(s) can be connected,

disconnected and the connections inspected and
tested outside the cylinder enclosure.

- Those connections which could be disturbed when

installing the cylinder(s) in the enclosure can be leak
tested inside the enclosure.

- Be certain to mount or set the LP gas cylinder on a fl at

stable surface and retain it to prevent it from tipping.

Minimum Clearances

• There must be a minimum clearance of 2 in. (50.8 mm)
between the lower surface of the fl oor of the LP gas supply
cylinder enclosure and the ground.
