Manufacturers correct for that with a different orifice. The #58 orifice in this unit is the correction for the 2000 to 3000 foot band. Installing a sea level heater at that elevation, or this one near sea level, gives you a burner that never runs the way it was certified to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital and electronic ignition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eControl is digital rather than a mechanical dial, and the burner uses electronic ignition, so there is no standing pilot consuming gas between heating cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe same heater is catalogued under several numbers: P-M336A-EP-C 009980, P-D336A-EP-C 010012 and P-R336A-EP-C 009230.
