Product Overview
The Rheem SP20174A is a high altitude orifice designed for LP (liquid propane) gas applications at elevations between 5,001 and 6,000 feet. This genuine Rheem replacement part ensures proper fuel delivery and combustion performance when operating water heaters or heating equipment in higher altitude environments.
Why a High Altitude Orifice Is Necessary
At higher elevations, air pressure decreases, which affects the air-to-fuel ratio in gas appliances. A standard orifice calibrated for sea-level use can result in inefficient combustion, increased emissions, or improper burner operation when used at altitude. The SP20174A orifice is specifically sized to compensate for these atmospheric changes, helping to maintain safe and efficient appliance operation at the 5,001–6,000 foot elevation range.
