Figure 4

When horizontal ducts are used to supply air from the

CONFINED SPACE / OUTDOOR AIR

outdoors, they must be of the same cross sectional area

 

as the free area of the openings to which they connect.

FROM ATTIC

The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts must not

 

be less than 3 inches. Each opening must have a free

 

area of not less than one square inch per 2,000 Btu per

 

hour of total input of all appliances within the "Confined

 

Space". These openings must be located 12 in. from the

 

top and bottom of the furnace area. Neither opening can

 

be blocked at any time (See Figure 6).

For an attic installation it is important to keep insulation 12" or more away from any furnace openings. Some types of insulating materials may be combustible.

Furnaces installed with combustion air drawn from a heated space which includes exhaust fans, fireplaces, or other devices that may produce a negative pressure should be considered confined space installations.
