*Outside air openings shall directly communicate with the outdoors. When combustion air is drawn from the outside through a duct, the net free area of each of the two openings must have twice (2 times) the free area required for Outside Air/2 Openings. The above requirements are for the boiler only; additional gas fired appliances in the equipment room will require an increase in the net free area to supply adequate combustion air for all appliances.
**Combined interior space must be 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/hr input. Buildings MUST NOT be of *“Tight Construction”. For buildings of *“Tight Construction”, provide air openings into the building from outside.
*No combustion air openings are needed when the water heater is installed in a space with a volume NO LESS than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/hr of all installed gas fired appliances. Buildings MUST NOT be of *“Tight Construction”.
* “Tight Construction” is defined as a building with less than 0.40 ACH (air changes per hour).
Vent installations for connection to gas vents or chimneys must be in accordance with “Venting of Equipment,” of the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, in Canada, the latest edition of CGA Standard B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment or applicable provisions of the local building codes.
Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be supplied to the room where the appliance is installed in accordance with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, in Canada, the latest edition of CGA Standard B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment, or applicable provisions of the local building codes.
