AIR FORCOMBUSTION ANDVENTILATION

Today’s homes are built more energy effi-cient than ever. New materials, increasedinsulation, and new construction methodshelp reduce heat loss in homes. Home own-ers weather strip and caulk around windowsand doors to keep the cold air out and thewarm air in. During heating months, homeowners want their homes as airtight as pos-sible.

PROVIDING ADEQUATEVENTILATIONThe following is excerpts from NationalFuel Gas Code. NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1,Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Venti-lation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the threefollowing ventilation classifications:

1. Unusually Tight Construction; 2. Uncon-fined Space; 3. Confined Space.

The information on pages 3 through 5 willhelp you classify your space and provideadequate ventilation.

Confined and Unconfined Space

The National Fuel Gas Code (ANSIZ2123.1,1992 Section 5.3) defines a confined spaceas a space whose volume is less than 50cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 perkw) of the aggregate input rating of allappliances installed in that space and anunconfining space as a space whose volumeis not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuper hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregateinput rating of all appliances installed in thatspace. Rooms communicating directly withthe space in which the appliances are in-stalled*, through openings not furnishedwith doors, are considered a part of theunconfined space.

* Adjoining rooms are communicating onlyif there are doorless passageways or ventila-tion grills between them.

WARNING: This heater shallnot be installed in a confinedspace unless provisions are pro-vided for adequate combustionand ventilation air. Read the fol-lowing instructions to insureproper fresh air for this and otherfuel-burning appliances in yourhome.

While it is good to make your home energyefficient, your home needs to breathe. Freshair must enter your home. All fuel-burningappliances need fresh air for proper com-bustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, andfuel burning appliances draw air from thehouse to operate. You must provide ad-equate fresh air for these appliances. Thiswill insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.

Unusually Tight Construction

The air that leaks around doors and win-dows may provide enough fresh air forcombustion and ventilation. However, inbuildings of unusually tight construction,you must provide additional fresh air.

Unusually tight construction is de-fined as construction where:a. walls and ceilings exposed to the

outside atmosphere have a con-tinuous water vapor retarder witha rating of one perm (6x10 -11 kgper pa-sec-m 2) or less with open-ings gasketed or sealed and

b. weather stripping has beenadded on openable windows anddoors and

c. caulking or sealants are appliedto areas such as joints aroundwindow and door frames, be-tween sole plates and floors, be-tween wall-ceiling joints, be-tween wall panels, at penetra-tions for plumbing, electrical, andgas lines, and at other openings.

If your home meets all of the threecriteria above, you must provide ad-ditional fresh air. See Ventilation AirFrom Outdoors , page 5 .

If your home does not meet all of thethree criteria above, proceed to page 4.

WARNING: If the area inwhich the heater may be oper-ated is smaller than that definedas an unconfined space, provideadequate combustion and venti-lation air by one of the methodsdescribed in the National FuelGas Code, ANSI Z223.1, 1992,Section 5.3 or applicable localcodes.

WARNING: Rework work-sheet, adding the space of theadjoining unconfined space. Thecombined spaces must haveenough fresh air to supply allappliances in both spaces.

AIR FORCOMBUSTION ANDVENTILATIONContinued

DETERMINING AIR FLOWFOR HEATER LOCATION

Determining if You Have aConfined or Unconfined Space

Use this worksheet to determine if you havea confined or unconfined space.

Space: Includes the room in which youwill install heater plus any adjoining roomswith doorless passageways or ventilationgrills between the rooms.

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

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

Example: Space size 20 ft. (length) x16 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) =

2560 cu. ft. (volume of space)

If additional ventilation to adjoiningroom is supplied with grills or open-ings, add the volume of these rooms tothe total volume of the space.

2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubicfeet to determine the maximum Btu/Hrthe space can support.

______(volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. =(Maximum Btu/Hr the space can sup-port)

Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume ofspace) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = 51.2 or 51,200(maximum Btu/Hr the space can sup-port)

3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning ap-pliances in the space.

Vent-free heater _________ Btu/Hr

Gas water heater*________ Btu/Hr

Gas furnace ____________ Btu/Hr

Vented gas heater ________ Btu/Hr

Gas fireplace logs ________ Btu/Hr

Other gas appliances*+____ Btu/Hr

Total = ____Btu/Hr

Example:Gas water heater 40,000 Btu/Hr

Vent-free heater + 20,000 Btu/Hr

Total = 60,000 Btu/Hr

* Do not include direct-vent gas appli-ances. Direct-vent draws combustionair from the outdoors and vents to theoutdoors.

4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr thespace can support with the actualamount of Btu/Hr used.

__________ Btu/Hr (maximum thespace can support)

___________ Btu/Hr (actual amount ofBtu/Hr used)

Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximumthe space can support)

60,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount ofBtu/Hr used)

The space in the above example is a con-fined space because the actual Btu/Hr usedis more than the maximum Btu/Hr the spacecan support. You must provide additionalfresh air. Your options are as follows:

A. Rework worksheet, adding the space ofan adjoining room. If the extra spaceprovides an unconfined space, removedoor to adjoining room or add ventila-tion grills between rooms. See Ventila-tion Air From Inside Building.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. SeeVentilation Air From Outdoors, page 5.

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

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than themaximum Btu/Hr the space can support, thespace is an unconfined space. You will needno additional fresh air ventilation.

VENTILATION AIR

Ventilation Air From InsideBuilding

This fresh air would come from an adjoiningunconfined space. When ventilating to anadjoining unconfined space, you must pro-vide two permanent openings: one within12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of thefloor on the wall connecting the two spaces(see options 1 and 2, Figure 2 page 5). Youcan also remove door into adjoining room(see option 3, Figure 2). Follow the NationalFuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Sec-tion 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilationfor required size of ventilation grills orducts.

CONNECTING TOGAS SUPPLY

The installer must supply an external regu-lator. The external regulator will reduceincoming gas pressure. You must reduceincoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14inches of water. If you do not reduce incom-ing gas pressure, heater regulator damagecould occur. Install external regulator withthe vent pointing down as shown in Figure12. Pointing the vent down protects it fromfreezing rain or sleet.

NOTICE: A qualified service per-son must connect heater to gassupply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: Never connectheater directly to the propane/LPsupply. This heater requires anexternal regulator (not supplied).Install the external regulator be-tween the heater and propane/LPsupply.

CAUTION: Use only new,black iron or steel pipe. Inter-nally-tinned copper tubing maybe used in certain areas. Checkyour local codes. Use pipe of 1/2"diameter or greater to allowproper gas volume to heater. Ifpipe is too small, undue loss ofpressure will occur.

Install sediment trap in supply line as shownin Figure 13, page 9. Locate sediment trapwhere it is within reach for cleaning. Locatesediment trap where trapped matter is notlikely to freeze. A sediment trap traps mois-ture and contaminants. This keeps themfrom going into heater controls. If sedimenttrap is not installed or is installed wrong,heater may not run properly.

CAUTION: Use pipe joint seal-ant that is resistant to liquid pe-troleum (LP) gas.

Installation must include a manual shutoffvalve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap.Locate NPT tap within reach for test gaugehook up. NPT tap must be upstream fromheater (see Figure 13, page 9).

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to malethreads. This will prevent excess sealantfrom going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipecould result in clogged heater valves.
