Producing Adequate Air For Combustion And Ventilation

This section is for residential or manufactured (mobile) installation. This heater shall not be installed in unusually tight construction unless provisions are adequate for combustion and ventilation air.

NOTE: This heater shall not be installed in a room or space unless the required volume of indoor combustion air is provided by the method in National Fuel Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable codes.

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines unusually tight construction or unconfined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m 3 per kW) of aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m 3 per kW) of aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space.

Rooms communicating directly with space in which appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of unconfined space. 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 10-11kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed.

B. Weatherstripping has been added on openable windows and doors.

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 other openings.

NOTE: SOME AREAS IN THE UNITED STATES HAVE HIGHER REQUIREMENTS FOR CUBIC FEET PER 1000 BTU/ HOUR INPUT.

(EX. CINCINNATI, OHIO CODES REQUIRE 70 CUBIC FEET). CHECK YOUR LOCAL CODE BEFORE INSTALLATION

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION

Determine if you have unusually tight construction or unconfined space. Use this worksheet to determine if you have unusually tight construction or unconfined space. Space: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.

WARNING: IF AREA IN WHICH HEATER MAY BE OPERATED DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIRED VOLUME FOR INDOOR

COMBUSTION AIR, COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR SHALL BE PROVIDED BY ONE OF THE METHODS DESCRIBED

IN NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, THE INTERNATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE OR APPLICABLE CODES.

WARNING: IF AREA IN WHICH HEATER MAY BE OPERATED IS SMALLER THAN THAT DEFINED AS AN UNCONFINED

SPACE OR IF BUILDING IS OF UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION, PROVIDE ADEQUATE AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND

VENTILATION BY ONE OF THE METHODS DESCRIBED IN NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 AIR FOR

COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION OR APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES.

1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height).

Length x Width x Height = _____________cu.ft.(volume of space)

EXAMPLE: 20 ft.(Length) x 16 ft.(Width) x 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 cubic feet 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 51200 (maximum BTU/Hr the space can support)

3. Add the BTU/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.

*Does not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from outdoors and vents to the outdoors.

4. Compare the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support with actual amount of BTU/Hr used.

_____________ BTU/Hr (maximum the space can support)

_____________ BTU/Hr (actual amount of BTU/Hr used)

Example: 51200 BTU/Hr (maximum the space can support)

58000 BTU/Hr (actual amount of BTU/Hr used)

Space in above example is unusually tight construction because actual BTU/Hr used is more than maximum

BTU/Hr the space can support. You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:

A. Rework worksheet, adding space of an adjoining room. If extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms (see “Air For Combustion And Ventilation

Inside Building” section of this manual).

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors (see “Air For Combustion And Ventilation Outdoors” section of this manual).

C. Install a lower BTU/Hr heater, if lower BTU/Hr size makes room unconfined.

If actual BTU/Hr used is less than the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support, space is an unconfined space.

You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

WARNING: YOU MUST PROVIDE ADDITIONAL VENTILATION AIR IN UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION.

-20-

Air For Combustion And Ventilation Inside Building

This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When venting to an adjoining space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12” of the ceiling and one within 12” of the floor, on the wall connecting two spaces (see Options 1 and 2 below). You can also remove the door into the adjoining room as shown.

WARNING: REWORK WORKSHEET, ADDING SPACE OF ADJOINING UNCONFINED SPACE. COMBINED SPACES MUST

HAVE ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF AIR TO SUPPLY ALL APPLIANCES IN BOTH SPACES

NOTE: Each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 1000 BTU’s per hour of the total input ratings of all gas utilization equipment in the confined space, but not less than 100 square inches.
