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 National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes. Read the following instructions to ensure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.

Today’s homes are built more energy efﬁcient than ever. New materials, increased insulation and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Homeowners apply weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, homeowners want their homes as airtight as possible.

While it is good to make your home energy efﬁcient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, some ﬁreplaces, clothes dryers and some fuelburning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will ensure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.

PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three tion classiﬁcations:

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconﬁned Space

3. Conﬁned Space The information on Pages 6-7 will help you classify your space

and provide adequate ventilation.

Unusually Tight Construction

The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh 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 one perm

-11

(6 x 10 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.

If your home meets all three criteria above, you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, Page 7.

If your home does not meet all three criteria above, proceed to Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location.

following ventila

Conﬁned and Unconﬁned Space

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA54 allows two methods for determining whether the space in which the heater is being

installed is conﬁned or unconﬁned space. The standard method deﬁnes a conﬁned space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/hr (4.8 m3 per kw) of the 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/hr (4.8 m3 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.

Where the air inﬁltration rate of a structure is known, the Known Air Inﬁltration Rate Method may be used. Follow The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 to use this method to determine if the space is conﬁned or unconﬁned.

* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION

Determining if You Have a Conﬁned or Unconﬁned Space Using the Standard Method

Use this work sheet to determine if you have a conﬁned or unconﬁned space.

Space: Includes the room in which you will install ﬁreplace plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills 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) 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. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine the maximum Btu/

Hr the space can support.

_______ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maximum Btu/Hr the space

can support)

Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 = 51,200 (maximum

Btu/Hr the space can support)

3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space. Vent-free ﬁreplace ________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 * Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws

combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.

Example: Gas water heater 40,000 Btu/Hr Vent-free ﬁreplace + 33,000 Btu/Hr Total = 73,000 Btu/Hr

Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the actual

amount of Btu/Hr used. ______ Btu/Hr (maximum can support) ______ Btu/Hr (actual amount used) Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support) 73,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used) The space in the above example is a conﬁned 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 unconﬁned space, remove door

to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See

Ventilation Air From Inside Building. B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From

Outdoors. C. Install a lower Btu/Hr ﬁreplace, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room

unconﬁned. If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an unconﬁned space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

VENTILATION AIR Ventilation Air From Inside Building

This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconﬁned space. When ventilating to an adjoining unconﬁned space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the ﬂoor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 2). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 2). Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.

WARNING: If the area in which the 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 the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes.

Figure 2 - Ventilation Air from Inside Building

Ventilation Air From Outdoors

Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the ﬂoor. 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, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54, 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.

INSTALLATION Continued

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

WARNING: A qualiﬁed service person must connect

heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

WARNING: Never connect propane/LP heater directly to the propane/LP supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the heater and propane/LP supply.

WARNING: Never connect natural gas heater to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

Installation Items Needed

Before installing heater, make sure you have the items listed below.

• external regulator (for propane/LP units only, supplied by installer)

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve

• test gauge connection

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench For propane/LP units, the installer must supply an external regulator.

The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 13. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to heater. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant

to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

We recommend that you install sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 14. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and heater. Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze.

Propane/LP Supply Tank

External Regulator with Vent Pointing Down

Figure 13 - External Regulator With Vent Pointing Down

(propane/LP gas only)

A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, heater may not run properly.

CAUTION: Avoid damage to control. Hold ﬁtting with wrench when connecting it to gas piping and/ or ﬁttings.

Natural Gas

From Gas Meter (5" W.C.** to 10.5" W.C. Pressure)

Propane/LP Gas

From External Regulator (11" W.C.** to 14" W.C. Pressure)

Gas Control

Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from heater (see Figure 14).

IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.

Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to ﬁreplaces.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater valves.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off heater and let cool before

cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner and

circulating air passageways of heater clean. Inspect these areas of heater before each use. Have heater inspected yearly by a qualiﬁed service person. Heater may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.

WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air

opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.

CLEANING BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND PILOT AIR INLET HOLE

The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air to mix with the gas. This provides a clean burning ﬂame. Keep these holes clear of dust, dirt, lint, and pet hair. Clean these air inlet holes prior to each heating season. Blocked air holes will create soot. We recommend that you clean the unit every three months during operation and have heater inspected yearly by a qualiﬁed service person.

We also recommend that you keep the burner tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend using compressed air no greater than 30 PSI. Your local computer store, hardware store, or home center may carry compressed air in a can. If using compressed air in a can, please follow the directions on the can. If you don't follow directions on the can, you could damage the pilot assembly.

1. Shut off unit, including pilot. Allow unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.

2. Inspect burner, pilot, and primary air inlet holes on injector holder for dust and dirt (see Figure 32).

3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.

4. Check injector holder located at the end of the burner tube again. Remove any large particles of dust, dirt, lint, or pet hair with a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.

5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the injector holder.

6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been pushed into the burner repeat steps 3 and 4.

Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the pilot ﬂame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about 2" from where the pilot ﬂame comes out of pilot assembly (see Figure 33). With the unit off, lightly blow air through the air inlet hole. You may blow through a drinking straw if compressed air is not available.
