FRESH AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate com- bustion and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.

ESTABLISHING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts 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 Construction

2.Unconfined Space

3.Confined Space

This heater must not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. The information on pages 3 through 5 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.

Unusually Tight Construction

If your home meets all of the three following criteria you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air from Outdoors, page 5.

Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where:

a.Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmo- sphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x 10-11kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed and

b.Whether stripping has been added on openable windows and doors, and

c.Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around windows and door frames, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetra- tions for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.

If you home does not meet all of the three criteria above, see Determing the Type of Heater Location Space, page 4.

Confined Space and Unconfined Space

The National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1 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 unconfined 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 installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the uncon- fined space.

*Adjoining rooms are communication only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.

DETERMINING THE TYPE OF HEATER LOCATION SPACE:

Use this method to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.

Note: the space includes the room in which you install heater plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.
