Will the factory set it up to operate at 4100 ft. elevation for Natural Gas before it ships?

I'm not sure if they will do that, but I don't see why not. Just DO NOT order it from PoolSuppliesUniverse. That's who I got it from through Amazon, and I'm not happy. Heater is fine, but it was over a week late, they dropped it at the end of my driveway without telling me. It was a disaster and after talking with the owner of the company who said he would refund shipping, so far nothing. So I'm disputing it through my Amex. Pain in the ass, and Amazon wasn't much help.

Sorry, can't help with that. I'd suggest you try to get someone from Hayward to answer.

No, but the heater may be installed at any altitude up to 10,100 ft above sea level, provided the appropriate modification(s) are performed. The altitudes which require modification vary depending on the model. Parts necessary to convert the heater for outdoor installation at altitudes up to 7,700 ft (minimum) are included with the heater. Conversion is accomplished by replacement of the blower air inlet plate, and for indoor ap- plications, installation of a special vent pressure switch. The blower air inlet plates are clearly marked with the compatible heater model(s), vent configuration(s), and altitude range(s).

Yes, we use it routinely on a natural gas range. Be sure to follow the instructions regarding trimming the liner to ensure there is ample circulation of air. It's very easy to miss that instruction but I think it is very important.

I believe it will. I have it running a total of about 40 feet right now with no problems.

I think it will, but the flow rate will not be full at that elevation. In all honesty I would go a little bigger.

Hi Kathleen, I ordered my heater prepared to hook up to natural gas. If you call 888-255-5894 they will tell you everything you need to know. Stay warm. Keith

Not above 4000 feet it doesn't... I read that in someones review but it is not noted in the instructions that come with the unit.

definitely a slightly lower gas block.if your gas block rail is as high as the receiver rail ,it would shoot too low. this is a taller tower.

I see that Jake has answered your question. It should also be pointed out that the expected peak wattage is dependent upon the altitude that the unit operates at. Mine is at about 5200 feet and I have tested it to a little over 5000 watts. Not sure of the peak, but generac should be able to provide that.

If you are talking about the height above the range top, it should be about 28 - 32 inches. My installation is 29 inches, the governing factor is you don't want to hit your head on the vent unit when you lean over whatever you are cooking. The fan motor is powerful enough that we rarely use the high setting. As to adjustment, the unit as provided has the ability to adjust, but in my case, the ceiling was tilted and slightly too high, so I had an extended stainless duct piece fabricated (~$130) to make it all work.

That model number indicates that it is for "Natural" gas and when used from sea level to 3000ft will add 250,000 btu into your pool water per hour. Regards

A 40' run is a long way, but since your rise is only 3 1/2', that should not be a problem. I'm not a pro, but I expect the pump to work fine as long as you adhere to the 3/8" diameter.

It can be converted to LP gas but they already sell a unit that will do this. I don't know about "natural" gas, I think it could be with the right person doing it based on their skill level. Better to get one that is ALREADY built to do what you want it to do.

I have used this heater at approximately 8,000 feet. You should ask the manufacture of the elevation limits.

My RV repair people say 10000 feet--mine didn't work at that elevation but I solved the problem with new double stage regulator.

Never really looked; however it did snow here yesterday, and the machine made very short work of it!!! Sure nice to not have to mess with gas and oil, and it's no problem "trailing" a drop cord (150'). I will never go back to a gas unit.........Norm Peters; Iowa

Yes, but consult the user manual for placement. This answer is based on the manufacturer's technical specifications. I heat with natural gas and have had no false alarms. Also have not tried to force an alarm by exposing unit to gas.

Yes you van. But it will need adjustments that the gas company can provide for you.
