VENTILATION & COMBUSTION AIR

WARNING: AIR OPENINGS TO COMBUSTION AREA MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED. BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW, ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AIR CAN BE MAINTAINED

*Unconfined area: A space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU per hour of all appliances installed in that space (cubic feet of space = height x width x length).

** Confined area: A space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU per hour of all appliances installed in that space (cubic feet of space = height x width x length).

1.Ventilation of the boiler room must be adequate to provide sufficient air to properly support combustion per the latest revision of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 section 5.3.

2.When a boiler is located in an unconfined space in a building or conventional construction frame, masonry or metal building, infiltration normally is adequate to provide air for combustion and ventilation. However, if the equipment is located in a building of unusually tight construction (See the national Fuel Gas Code, Ansi Z223.1 section 1.7), the boiler area should be considered as a confined space. In this case air for combustion and ventilation shall be provided according to part 5 on page 4. If there is any doubt, install air supply provisions in accordance with the latest revision of the National Fuel Gas Code.

3.Whenaboilerisinstalledinanunconfined

space, in a building of unusually tight construction,airforcombustionandventilation must be obtained from outdoors or from spaces freely communicating with the outdoors. A permanent opening or openings having a total free area of not less than 1 square inch per 5,000 BTU per hour of total input rating of all appliances shall be provided. Ducts may be used to convey makeup air from the outdoors and shall have the same cross-sectional area of the openings to which they are connected.

4.When air for combustion and ventilation is from inside buildings, the confined space shall be provided with two permanent

openings, one starting 12 inches from the top

and one 12 inches from the bottom of the enclosed space. Each opening shall have a

minimum free area of 1 square inch per one thousand (1000) BTU per hour of the total input rating of all appliances in the enclosed space, but must not be less than one hundred (100) square inches. These openings must freely communicate directly with other spaces of sufficient volume so that the combined volume of all spaces meets the criteria for an unconfined space.
