FRESH AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction un- less provisions are provided for adequate combus- tion and ventilation air. Read the following instruc- tions 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 Com- bustion 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 pro- vided 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 win- dows 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
