VENT-FREE PROPANE/LP GAS HEATER

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 combustion and ven- tilation air. Read the following in- structions 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 owners 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 possible.

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 are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code. NFPA 54/ANS Z223.1, Sec- tion 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

The information on pages 4 through 6 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.

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 (6 x 10-11kg 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- ditional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 6.

If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to Deter- mining Fresh-Air Flow for Heater Lo- cation on page 5.

Confined and Unconfined Spaces

The National Fuel Gas Code ANS Z223.1 defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 Btu per hour (4.8 cubic meters per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances in- stalled in that space and an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 Btu per hour (4.8 cubic meters 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 unconfined space.

This heater shall not be installed in a con- fined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.

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

CGP10TLA, CGP10TA specifications

Desa CGP10TA and CGP10TLA are advanced generator models known for their reliability and performance in various applications. These generators are designed to cater to both residential and light commercial needs, providing an efficient power solution anytime and anywhere.

One of the most notable features of the CGP10TA and CGP10TLA is their robust engine performance. These generators are powered by a high-quality, air-cooled four-stroke engine that ensures durability and long operational life. Their engines are optimized for fuel efficiency, enabling users to minimize operational costs while maximizing usability.

The CGP10TA and CGP10TLA models come equipped with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) technology. This feature guarantees stable voltage output, which is essential for sensitive electronic devices. By maintaining consistent voltage levels, the generators protect appliances from potential damage caused by power surges or fluctuations, thereby enhancing user confidence.

Safety is another priority in the design of these generators. Both models include essential safety features such as low-oil shutdown, which automatically turns off the engine when oil levels drop below a certain threshold. This safeguard helps prevent engine damage and prolongs the generator's lifespan, making it a wise choice for conscientious users.

Portability is a standout characteristic of the Desa CGP10TA and CGP10TLA generators. Each unit is designed with a lightweight frame, convenient carrying handles, and rubber wheels, allowing for easy transportation to various locations. Whether you need backup power during a storm, for camping, or to support outdoor events, these generators are versatile and user-friendly.

Moreover, these generators are engineered for quiet operation. Their noise-reduction technologies ensure a peaceful environment, making them suitable for residential areas and outdoor gatherings where excessive noise could be disruptive. Users can enjoy reliable power without the worry of disturbing neighbors or losing the tranquility of nature.

In terms of connectivity, both models include multiple AC and DC outlets, making it easy to power various devices simultaneously. Whether it's lights, power tools, or electronics, these generators can handle the load with ease, providing versatility for any power needs.

In conclusion, the Desa CGP10TA and CGP10TLA generators represent a blend of performance, safety, and convenience. With their advanced engine technology, automatic voltage regulation, safety features, portability, and quiet operation, they stand out as excellent choices for anyone in need of reliable, efficient, and user-friendly power solutions.
