How high an elevation can the heater be operated in? Thanks

Mike,I am in a unique position to answer your question at least from my own experience. I am at Columbine Cabins in Colorado and at 8700 feet elevation. I have not used it since I got here but needed that question answered for myself so I got it out and hooked it up. It works fine. As always it takes some time for the propane to go through the hose, more than the 30 seconds indicated in the instructions, but once ignited it turns on and stays on. This is a great heater I presently own one and will be purchasing another. Good luck Mike and have a great day.Jim

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

I'm using this heater at 1100 feet elevation. I do not know the maximum elevation.

Hi,I have a heater that use in my shop, I am at about 800'-900' in elevationLeroy

don't know about the elevation question - i'm in Southern Illinois, about 400 ft. - that's probably a manufacturer question. the size of the tanks we were using were the smaller BBQ grill size, 20 lb. i believe, but boy did we run through those quick! beware...

Per the manual 3 feet of clearance around the top in all directions is required. I would recommend more however since this unit has nearly 50,000btu so it can run HOT! You can warm a 10' x 10' area with just one unit.

No closer than 36" to the ceiling. 8" from a wall is enough. The manual stated that operating the heater above elevations of 4,500 feet could cause pilot outage. My personal observation is that the pilot is very strong. The pilots on a kitchen stove are 5 times smaller. Therefore, I turn the pilot off when I turn my heater off. Maybe I'll change that on very cold days; it's my first year owning it. At any rate, I turn the knob to pilot setting, click the starter button, hold the knob down for 10 seconds (max.) or less, then turn the heater on. It's very simple to do. The pilot stays on the whole time the heater is operating. Good luck.

The tempature can go up to 175. On low end you have some flexibility because you can change solution tempature. When the machine is running the solution tempature will rise without using the heater.

It worked on my electric stove but I'm in Florida. Can't answer the high altitude question.

The box tells you it may not work over 5000 feet but 5300 is not a lot over that number and they are saying "may not" not "will not". I cannot answer the question, however, because my home is at sea level. I am very happy with the heater which I have had since January of last year and used last winter and it was very cost efficient and provided excellent heat. I have just turned it on for this heating season.

I believe that because of the heat flow going mainly upwards the electrical outlet will become quite hot if above heater.

I live in Hawaii and my home is about 10 feet above sea level I could pull 28.0"- 28.5 +" hg. I ran the pump for one hour, 29.921" Hg is (absolute vacuum) so this pump is not that far off from absolute. Keep in mind atmospheric pressure and 'your' altitude affects vacuum pump performance

Yes, it works well in high altitudes, we live above 5800 feet and it works like a champ! i have it hooked up to a five gallon propane tank that I placed outside the house, just put a small hole through the wall or floor, installed a shutoff valve and used a hose from a propane bbq. Works wonderfully.

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

I looked over the documentation and it doesn't go up that high. I don't know how high it goes but definitely not to 750 degree as that kind of temperature will require special safety gear.

We are up at about 6300 ft above sea level, and even so I can get the output temp up to 120 degrees, but be aware the flow is limited to 3.5 gpm, so I'm now sorry I did not get the next size up, but it works fine!

I live at 6500' elevation and install tankless here. The T-K4-IN-LP will work at that elevation.

I have a nice thermometer and im able to dial in my temperature to 38.5. I'd assume it shouldn't be a problem to go higher.

Well I have three of these in a 900 square foot cabin at 4000 foot elevation, I don't expect to heat the house this way, it is about freeze protection while I am gone.Never had a freezing problem yet, and it has been below zero within the last few months

Unsure of the highest. I live at 7000' and have not had any problems. My understanding is the previous altitude issues with plasmas has all but been eliminated.
