2.Not less than the sum of areas of all vent connectors in the space.

OutdoorAir Through Two HorizontalDucts

FIGURE 9C.

The confined space should be provided with two permanent horizontal ducts, one commencing within 12 inches (300 mm) of the top and one commencing within 12 inches (300 mm) of the bottom of the enclosure. The horizontal ducts should communicate directly with the outdoors. See Figure 9C.

Each duct opening should have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 2,000 Btu/hr (1100 mm2 per kW) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in the enclosure.

When ducts are used, they should be of the same cross sectional area as the free area of the openings to which they connect. The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts should be not less than 3 inches.

Outdoor Air Through Two Vertical Ducts

The illustrations shown in this section of the manual are a reference for the openings that provide fresh air into confined spaces only.

Do not refer to these illustrations for the purpose of vent installation. See Venting Installation on page 19 for complete venting installation instructions.

FIGURE 9D.

The confined space should be provided with two permanent vertical ducts, one commencing within 12 inches (300 mm) of the top and one commencing within 12 inches (300 mm) of the bottom of the enclosure. The vertical ducts should communicate directly with the outdoors. See Figure 9D.

Each duct opening should have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 Btu/hr (550 mm2 per kW) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in the enclosure.

When ducts are used, they should be of same cross sectional area as free area of openings to which they connect. The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts should be not less than 3 inches.
