B. ALL AIR FROM OUTDOORS: (See Figures 18, 19 and 20)

The confined space shall be provided with two permanent openings, one commencing within 12 inches (30 cm) of the top and one commencing within 12 inches (30 cm) from the bottom of the enclosure. The openings shall communicate directly, or by ducts, with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors.

FIGURE18.

When directly communicating with the outdoors, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 Btu per hour (5.5 cm2/kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure, see Figure 18.

When communicating with the outdoors through vertical ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 BTU per hour (5.5 cm2/kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure, see Figure 19.

FIGURE19.

When communicating with the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 2,000 BTU per hour (11 cm2/kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure, see Figure 20.

When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross- sectional area as the free area of the openings to which

they connect. The minimum short side dimension of rectangular air ducts shall not be less than 3 inches (76.2 mm), see Figure 20.

FIGURE20.

Louvers and Grilles: In calculating free area, consideration shall be given to the blocking effect of louvers, grilles or screens protecting openings. Screens used shall not be smaller than 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) mesh. If the free area through a design of louver or grille is known, it should be used in calculating the size opening required to provide the free area specified. If the design and free area is not known, it may be assumed that wood louvers will be 20-25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles will have 60-75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles shall be fixed in the open position or interlocked with the equipment so that they are opened automatically during equipment operation.

Special Conditions Created by Mechanical Exhausting or Fireplaces: operation of exhaust fans, ventilation systems, clothes dryers or fireplaces may create conditions requiring special attention to avoid unsatisfactory operation of installed gas utilization equipment.

Water Piping

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD:

Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which will satisfy space heating, clothes washing, dish washing, cleaning and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others. These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water tap, then you must take special precautions.

HRN11240P, HRP11240P, HRN11275P, HRP11250P, HRP31275P specifications

The Maytag HRP31250P, HRN31275P, HRP31275P, HRP11240P, and HRP11275P are high-efficiency residential heat pumps designed to provide optimal comfort and energy savings for homeowners. These models showcase Maytag's commitment to reliability, durability, and advanced heating technology.

One of the standout features of the Maytag HRP series is its impressive SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) ratings. These ratings indicate high efficiency, which translates to reduced energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint. The heat pumps operate efficiently in both heating and cooling modes, making them versatile for year-round climate control.

The HRP31250P and HRP31275P models include variable-speed compressors. This technology allows the heat pumps to adjust their output based on the heating or cooling demand. As a result, they maintain consistent indoor temperatures while using less energy. The variable-speed operation also means quieter operation compared to traditional single-stage units, making for a more pleasant home environment.

Additionally, the HRN31275P model stands out with its advanced inverter technology. This technology provides even greater efficiency by allowing the unit to operate at various capacity levels. The inverter-driven compressor ensures that the heat pump runs at the optimal speed, reducing wear and tear and extending the lifespan of the unit.

These models are built with durable materials and incorporate Maytag's robust design principles. They feature a galvanized steel cabinet that is powder-coated to resist rust and corrosion, ensuring that the heat pumps perform effectively for many years. The units come with a limited warranty, reflecting the manufacturer’s confidence in their long-term performance.

The HRP11240P and HRP11275P models are designed for smaller spaces while still offering the same energy-efficient performance found in their larger counterparts. These units are ideal for apartments or homes with limited space for heating and cooling systems. Their compact size does not compromise on performance, making them an excellent choice for those looking for a balance of efficiency and footprint.

Overall, the Maytag HRP series heat pumps represent an investment in home comfort and energy efficiency. With advanced features, reliable performance, and durable construction, these models are well-suited for today's environmentally conscious homeowners seeking dependable heating and cooling solutions.
