• The appliance and its manual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG.
• The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply pipe system at test pressure equal to or less than 1/2
PSIG.
• The minimum size fi replace in which the log set can be installed and the minimum permanent free opening

1. High Altitude Installation
For U.S. installation, appliances are tested and approved for elevations from 0-2000 feet. When installing this Imperial
Gas Log Set at an elevation above 2000 feet, National Fuel Gas Codes require a decrease of the input rating by changing
the existing burner orifi ce to a smaller size. Input should be reduced 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level. Check with
the local gas utility for proper orifi ce size identifi cation. The current orifi ce is available from your Heatilator distributor.
For Canada, appliances are certifi ed for elevations from 0-4500 feet. When installing this Imperial Gas Log Set at an
elevation between 0-4500 feet in Canada, the input rating does not need to be reduced. When installing this log set at an
elevation above 4500 feet in Canada, check with local authorities.
