ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR

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

Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where:

(a)Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating

of 1 perm (6 x 10 kg per pa-sec-m²) or less with openings 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,

between sole	plates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations
for plumbing, electrical,		and gas lines, and at other openings.

The National Fuel3Gas Code defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space is defined as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m 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.
