SECTION 8: VENTING

8.11 Outside Combustion Air Supply

IMPORTANT: If the building has a slight negative pressure or corrosive contaminants, such as halogenated hydrocarbons, are present in the air, an outside combustion air supply to the heater is required. Seal all combustion air pipe joints.

Use of optional outside combustion air is not recommended with unvented heaters.

The air supply duct may have to be insulated to prevent condensation on the outer surface. The outside air terminal must not be more than 1' (31 cm) above the vent terminal.
