: I recently installed a LPG water heater at 8,000ft. : It seemed like the gas pressure was so high that the flame on the burner was practically blowing itself out. : I partially closed the valve on the gas line and this seemed to fix the problem. : Is this an OK fix, or do I need to get a different orifice for the heater at this altitude? : Thanks, : Curt Reply: You would need to have the proper pressure regulator installed at the LP tank to protect any and all gas appliances that you may have. Good Luck. e-plumber
