INSTALLATION OF THIS APPLIANCE

AT OR ABOVE 5000 FT (1525 m)

SHALL BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE

WITH THE LISTED HIGH ALTITUDE

CONVERSION KIT AVAILABLE WITH

THIS FURNACE.

ELEVATIONS ABOVE 2000 FT

REQUIRE THAT THE FURNACE

INPUT RATING BE ADJUSTED AND

THAT THE SIZE OF THE BURNER

ORIFICES BE RE-CALCULATED

BASED ON ELEVATION AND GAS

HEATING VALUE. THE BURNER

ORIFICES MAY (OR MAY NOT) NEED

TO BE CHANGED. THE FOLLOWING

EXAMPLES SHOW HOW TO

DETERMINE IF AN ORIFICE CHANGE

WILL BE NECESSARY AND HOW TO

DETERMINE THE NEW ORIFICE SIZE.
IN CANADA, AS AN ALTERNATE TO

SIZING THE BURNER ORIFICE, THE

MANIFOLD GAS PRESSURE MAY BE

ADJUSTED. THIS METHOD IS

COVERED LATER IN THIS SECTION.

THIS METHOD OF ADJUSTING

MANIFOLD PRESSURE MAY ONLY

BE USED IN CANADIAN

INSTALLATIONS.

34" 90 Plus furnaces installed at high

elevations require the installation of a

high altitude kit for proper operation. The

high altitude kit consists of a high

altitude pressure switch that replaces

the pressure switch attached to the

induced draft blower.

The pressure switch must be installed

at elevations above 5000 ft. Elevations

above 2000 ft. require the furnace to be

de-rated 4% per thousand feet.

The necessary high altitude kits to use

with (-)GRK/(-)GRL & (-)GTK furnace

models are listed below:

NOTE:

278 Option Code is available on

NOTE:

Orifices are no longer supplied

with kit.

Alternately, furnaces can be ordered

from the factory already converted for

high altitude elevations. The factory

option for high altitude elevations

would be ordered as a 278 option

(example; a 105k BTU upflow furnace

which is factory converted for high

altitude elevations would have the

model number (-)GRK-10EZAJS

278

).

These factory converted furnaces

come with a pressure switch for high-

altitude elevations already attached.

Also, different burner orifices are

installed at the factory which are one

drill size smaller (#51 DMS) than

standard (-)GRK gas furnaces (#50

DMS). The smaller orifice is installed

to accommodate for average heating

values expected in most high altitude

areas and a required 4% per

thousand feet reduction in input as

specified by the

National Fuel Gas

Code

(NFGC). Specific orifices

should always be recalculated for all

high altitude installations as outlined

below. Orifices should be changed, if

necessary, based on gas heating

value and elevation.

NOTE:

Factory installed orifices are

calculated and sized based on a sea

level Natural Gas heating value of

1075 BTU per cubic ft. Regional

reduced heating values may nullify

the need to change orifices except at

extreme altitudes.

The following are examples of orifice

sizing using the National Fuel Gas

Code Appendix F. For a simplified

estimation of orifice size based on

heating value and elevation, use

Tables 8 and 10, however

calculations are the best method.

Example: 900 BTU/ft
