RATING BTU/H WITH (2) TIER ELEMENT 31⁄2" CENTERED

The ratings of the charts above include factors shown in the chart below for the recommended mounting height. Two tier ratings are based on 31⁄2" between elements.Ratings are in BTU per hour per lineal foot of active length. “Active length” is the catalog ordering length less 4". The water ratings applicable to water flow rates of three ormore feet per second, have been determined by applying factors shown to the Steam Ratings. Elements unpainted. If the unit is to be installed at a height different than therecommended mounting height, the rating must be adjusted as follows:
