Unusually Tight Construction

The air that leaks around doors and win- dows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.

Unusually tight construction is de- fined as construction where:

a.walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a con- tinuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6x10-11kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with open- ings gasketed or sealed and

b.weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors and

c.caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, be- tween sole plates and floors, be- tween wall-ceiling joints, be- tween wall panels, at penetra- tions for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.

If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you must provide ad-

FRESH AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a confined space unless provisions are pro- vided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read the fol- lowing instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.

Today’s homes are built more energy effi- cient than ever. New materials, increased insulation, and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home own- ers weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as pos- sible.

While it is good to make your home energy efficient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh

air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper com- bustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, and fuel burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide ad- equate fresh air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented fuel- burning appliances.

PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following is exerpts from National Fuel Gas Code. NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classifications:

1.Unusually Tight Contruction; 2. Uncon- fined Space; 3. Confined Space.

The information on pages 3 through 5 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.

ditional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 5.

If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to page 4.

Confined and Unconfined Space

The National Fuel Gas Code (ANSIZ2123.1, 1992 Section 5.3) defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfining space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are in- stalled*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the uncon- fined space.

*Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passageways or ventila- tion grills between them.

CGP10L, CGP6L specifications

Desa's CGP10L and CGP6L are two innovative gas-powered heating solutions designed for both residential and commercial applications. These models highlight an impressive combination of efficiency, convenience, and modern technology tailored to meet diverse heating needs.

The CGP10L is a robust heater with a capacity of 10,000 BTUs, making it an ideal choice for larger spaces or areas requiring extensive heating. In contrast, the CGP6L offers a slightly lower output of 6,000 BTUs, perfect for smaller rooms or as supplemental heating in larger environments. Both models are designed to deliver reliable warmth while maintaining energy efficiency, which is crucial for cost-effective household management.

One of the standout features of the CGP10L and CGP6L is the use of advanced infrared technology. This technology allows for quick and efficient heating by warming objects and people directly rather than merely heating the air. As a result, users can experience immediate comfort without the typical waiting times associated with traditional heating systems.

In terms of design, both models feature a compact and lightweight construction, enabling easy portability. This is particularly beneficial for users who may want to move their heater from room to room or even take it outdoors. The built-in safety features, such as automatic shut-off functions and tip-over protection, enhance the safety profile of these units, making them suitable for various living conditions.

Moreover, Desa has incorporated user-friendly controls in both models, allowing users to adjust the heat output according to their comfort preferences. The straightforward operation ensures that even those who are not technically inclined can benefit from these powerful heating systems.

The fuel efficiency of the CGP10L and CGP6L is another attractive characteristic, as both models are designed to minimize gas consumption while maximizing heat output. This not only contributes to lower utility bills but also aligns with eco-friendly practices.

In conclusion, Desa's CGP10L and CGP6L heaters stand out in the market due to their modern technology, efficiency, portability, and safety features. Whether for residential or commercial use, these models provide a reliable heating solution tailored to meet the varying demands of consumers.
