EQUIPMENT IN CONFINED SPACE −

ALL AIR FROM OUTSIDE

If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventila- tion, the confined space must have two permanent open- ings. One opening shall be within 12 inches (305 mm) of the top of the enclosure and one opening within 12 inches (305 mm) of the bottom. These openings must communi- cate directly or by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors or indi- rectly through vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch (645 mm2) per 4,000

Btu (1.17 kW) per hour of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. See figures 5 and 6. When communicat- ing with the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each open- ing shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch (645 mm2) per 2,000 Btu (.56 kW) per total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. See figure 7.

When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross−sec- tional area as the free area of the openings to which they connect. The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts shall be no less than 3 inches (75 mm). In calculating free area, the blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens must be considered. If the design and free area of protec- tive covering is not known for calculating the size opening required, it may be assumed that wood louvers will have 20 to 25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles will have 60 to 75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles must be fixed in the open position or interlocked with the equipment so that they are opened automatically during equipment operation.

NOTE−Each air duct opening shall have a free area of at least one square inch per 2,000 Btu (645mm2per .59kW) per hour of the total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. If the equipment room is located against an outside wall and the air openings communi- cate directly with the outdoors, each opening shall have a free area of at least 1 square inch per 4,000 Btu (645mm2 per 1.17kW) per hour of the total input rating of all other equipment in the enclosure.

Shipping Bolt Removal

NOTE − The ML193DF09048C is equipped with a 1/2 hp blower motor which has three flexible legs and one rigid leg. The rigid leg is equipped with a shipping bolt and a flat white plastic washer (rather than the rubber mounting grommet used with a flexible mounting leg). See figure 8. The bolt and washer must be removed before the fur- nace is placed into operation. After the bolt and washer have been removed, the rigid leg will not touch the blower housing.
