AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

W ARNING: 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/NFP A 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or

applicable local codes. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.

T oday’s homes are built more energy efﬁ cient than ever. New materials, increased insulation and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep cold air out and warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.

While it is good to make your home energy efﬁ cient, 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, ﬁ reboxes, clothes dryers and fuel burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. Y ou must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.

PROVIDING ADEQUA TE 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 following ventilation classiﬁ cations:

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconﬁ ned Space

3. Conﬁ ned Space Information on page 7 through 9 will help you

classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.

Unusually Tight Construction

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 deﬁ ned as construction where:

a. walls and ceilings exposed to outside

atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x 10 less with openings gasketed 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 ﬂ 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 three criteria above, you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 9.

If your home does not meet all above, proceed to Determining Fresh-Air Flow for Firebox Location, page 8.

Conﬁ ned and Unconﬁ ned 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 conﬁ ned or unconﬁ ned space. The standard method deﬁ nes a conﬁ ned space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconﬁ ned space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8

3

per kw) of the aggregate input rating of

m 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 unconﬁ ned space.

Where the air inﬁ ltration rate of a structure is known, the Known Air Inﬁ ltration 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 conﬁ ned or unconﬁ ned.

* 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 Conﬁ ned or Unconﬁ ned Space

Use this work sheet to determine if you have a conﬁ ned or unconﬁ ned 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 x width x height).

Length x Width x Height = ______cu. ft.

(volume of space)

Example: Space size 22 ft. (length) x 18

ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 3168 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 = (Maxi-

mum Btu/Hr the space can support)

Example: 3168 cu. ft. (volume of space) x

20 = 63,360 (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 Gas ﬁ replace logs _______ Btu/Hr

Other gas appliances*

TotaL = _______ Btu/Hr * Do not include direct-vent gas appli-

ances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.

Example: Gas water heater _________ Btu/Hr Vent-free heater + ________ Btu/Hr Total = ________ Btu/Hr

+ _______ Btu/Hr

40,000 39,000 79,000

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: 63,360 Btu/Hr (maximum

the space can support) 79,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount

of Btu/Hr used)

The space in the above example is a conﬁ ned 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 unconﬁ ned space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From Inside Building, page 9.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See

Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 9.

C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower

Btu/Hr size makes room unconﬁ ned.

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

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/NFP A 54,

the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free gas log heaters add

moisture to the air. Although this is beneﬁ cial, installing ﬁ rebox in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, page 7.

IMPORTANT: Make sure firebox is level. If ﬁ rebox is not level, log set will not work properly.

Note: Your ﬁ rebox is designed to be used in zero clearance installations. Wall or framing material can be placed against any exterior surface on rear, sides, top or bottom of ﬁ rebox, except where standoff spacers are integrally attached. If standoff spacers are attached to ﬁ rebox, these spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing materials.

Use dimensions shown for rough openings to create the easiest installation (see Built-In Firebox Installation, page 11).

INSTALLATION CLEARANCES

WARNING: Maintain the minimum clearances. If you can, provide greater clearances from ﬂ oor, ceiling and adjoining wall.

Carefully follow these instructions. This will ensure safe installation.

Minimum Wall and Ceiling Clearances (see Figure 5)

A. Clearances from side of ﬁ replace cabinet

to any combustible material and wall should follow diagram in Figure 5.
