Notes:
1. The ratings are based on standard test procedures
prescribed by the United States Department of Energy.
2. Net AHRI ratings are based on net installed radiation of
sufficient quantity for the requirements of the building
and nothing need be added for normal piping and pickup.
Ratings are based on a piping and pickup allowance of
1.15.
