PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a room or space unless the required volume
of indoor combustion air is provided by the method described in the Nation Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes.
PRODUCING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconned Space
3. Conned Space
The information on pages 8 through 10 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.
Conned and Unconned Space
A conned space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cu. ft. per 1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 m^3 per kw)
of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconned space as a
space whose volume is not less than 50 cu. ft. per 1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 m^3 per kw) of the aggregate
input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms connecting directly with the space in
which the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a
part of the unconned space.
This heater shall not be installed in a conned space or unusually tight construction unless provisions
are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
* Adjoining rooms are connecting only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation
grills between them.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and venti-
lation. However, in buildings of unusually tight construction, you must provide additional
fresh air.
Unusually tight construction is dened as construction where:
a) walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder
with a rating of one perm (6x10-11kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed
and
b) weather stripping has been added on windows that can be opened and on doors and
c) caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames,
between sole plates and oors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at
penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.
If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you must provide additional fresh air.
See “Ventilation Air From Outdoors” (page 10). If your home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, proceed to “Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location” (page 9).

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Conned or Unconned Space
Use this worksheet to determine if you have a conned or unconned space.
Space: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus any adjoining rooms with
doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.
1. Determine the volume of the space Length × Width × Height = cu. ft. (volume of space)
Example: Space size 20 ft. (length) × 16 ft.(width) × 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2560 cu. ft. (volume
of space)
If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these
rooms to the total volume of the space.
2. Divide the space volume by 50 cu. ft. to determine the maximum BTU/hr the space can support.
_______ (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft.= (Maximum BTU/hr the space can support)
Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = 51.2 or 51,200 (maximum BTU/hr the space
can support)
3. Add the BTU/hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.
Vent-free heater _________ BTU/hr
Gas water heater* ________BTU/hr
Gas furnace _____________BTU/hr
Vented gas heater ________BTU/hr Example:
Gas heater logs __________BTU/hr Gas water heater 30,000 BTU/hr
Other gas appliances*+ ____BTU/hr Vent-free heater + 26,000 BTU/hr
Total = ____BTU/hr Total = 56,000 BTU/hr
*Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from the
outdoors and vents to the outdoors.
4. Compare the maximum BTU/hr the space can support with the actual amount of BTU/hr used.
_______ BTU/hr (maximum the space can support)
_______ BTU/hr (actual amount of BTU/hr used).
Example : 51,200 BTU/hr (maximum the space can support) 56,000 BTU/hr (actual amount of
BTU/hr used)
The space in the above example is a conned space because the actual BTU/hr used is more than
the maximum BTU/hr the space can support.
You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:
a) Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the extra space provides an
unconned space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See
“Ventilation Air From Inside Building,” page 10.
b) Vent room directly to the outdoors. See “Ventilation Air From Outdoors”, page 10.
c) Install a lower BTU/hr heater if lower BTU/hr size makes room unconned. If the actual BTU/hr
used is less than the maximum BTU/hr the space can support, the space is an unconned space.
You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.
10
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Ventilation Air From Inside Building
This fresh air would come from adjoining
unconned space. When ventilating to an
adjoining unconned space, you must
provide two permanent openings: one
within 12 in. of the wall connecting
the two spaces (see options 1 and 2,
Fig. 4). You can also remove door into
adjoining room (see option 3, Fig. 4).
Follow the National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54/ANS Z223.1. Air for Combustion
and Ventilation for required size of
ventilation grills or ducts.
Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation
grills or duct. You must provide two
permanent openings: one within 12 in. of
the ceiling and one within 12 in. of the oor.
Connect these items directly to the outdoors
or spaces open to the outdoors. These
spaces include attics and crawl spaces.
Follow the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA
54/ANS Z223.1. Air for Combustion and
Ventilation for required size of ventilation
grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for
inlet or outlet air into attic if attic has a
thermostat-controlled power vent. Heated
air entering the attic will activate the power
vent. Rework worksheet, adding the space
of the adjoining unconned space. The
combined spaces must have enough fresh
air to supply all appliances in both spaces.
