is there an altitude restriction?

As in any gas appliance the higher the altitude( like Denver) the slower it will work.

I don't own this unit, but I do see that the item comes with an oxygen sensor. I own a place in Wyoming at the 8,000 foot level and know where you are coming from. Anytime you have an Oxygen Sensor it will restrict the usage of the unit above the 6,000 foot level. At my 8,000 feet level, it would probably run for about 10 minutes before it shut off. The same idea will apply to all heaters, power generators, or anything else. (I've learned this the hard ways...)

This is not an issue for me in Oklahoma, but I still had the box and packing materials it came with. I looked and nothing is mentioned anywhere about an altitude restriction. The box states that the heater has an oxygen safety sensor that "automatically shuts heater off if oxygen level in room drops below accepted national standards." Hope that helps.

I live at 4500 feet in the Rockies...the heater works fine. Produces great heat for it's size. You won't be disappointed! P. Winkler

You will need to install a smaller gas jet into the burner. Contact Rheem for the size of the jet for that altitude.

I am at 1000 ft and it has limited performance. Good indoors but cannot handle the slightest of breeze outdoors. At your elevation may not get off the ground.Reg

I'm flying in a week and am wondering the same thing. Delta's limits are 62 in. (L + H + W). It seems that this would be bigger than that 62. in. restriction--I guess it's just a matter of whether the airline would really measure it or not.

Yes sir you can but be advised even the slightest breeze will send your chopper crashing down. I've lost one to a bad crash after it got swept away and landed 150 yards away from about 40 feet up.

No problem getting that. It's against the law to go above 400' and with very good reason as you are getting into air traffic space.

That is an interesting question. Responses so far suggest that elevation (less dense air) does not have too significant effect. In theory there might be some loss of performance as the rotors are acting upon less dense air, maybe requiring higher throttle setting to maintain height; resulting in shorter flight time. Also the less dense air might reduce the cooling of the motors, which might be working harder to maintain height. Having said that, the motors are to some extent force air cooled, and at that elevation the air temperature might be cooler anyway.

I believe you could. High winds probably affect your ability to do that though

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.

I am not sure how the performance changes with altitude, I reside at 3200 ft and have no issues at all. I would suggest visiting the March website and determine that.

No, The capsules contain herbal ingredients. I got an Rx for Acetazolamide and took only one due to extremely dry mouth. I have never had altitude sickness, but going from ~ 500 feet to 14,000, I thought I'd better take something. The Altitude Rx had no side effects and I had no altitude problems except a little shortness of breath with exertion. Returning to Peru next August and will take them again.

We are at 7000 feet and it works great. One of the best investments we have made.The installation manual gives the proper pressure settings for your elevation. Hope this is helpful.

i'm not sure but I know the manufacturer does not recommend use above 5,000 feet. maybe at that altitude there is not enough oxygen for a clean burn and I might give off more carbon monoxide.

No none of mine were. I live at 4000', when I lived in Albuquerque 6000'. Some stuff packaged at sea level and sealed well do 'puff up' at higher elevation because of air pressure being higher inside the container than outside. That being said, I would still be careful and ship it back for another.

You will need to check the guide and adjust pressure for your altitude. No, you do not need this. It is for a different method of pressure canning

I installed this unit about 6 months ago. We live at an altitude of 7500 ft. I have not had any problems with this unit. It is performing better than the Noritz unit we had previously.

Yes, I live at an elevation of 5,280 ft. It works great for me...just brewed some iced tea up yesterday!
