WARNING:WARNING:
WARNING: AIR OPENINGS TO COMBUSTION AREA MUST NOT BE
WARNING:WARNING:
OBSTRUCTED. BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW, ADEQUATE
COMBUSTION AIR CAN BE MAINTAINED
* Unconfined area: A space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1000
BTU per hour of all appliances installed in that space (cubic feet of space = height x
width x length).
** Confined area: A space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU per
hour of all appliances installed in that space (cubic feet of space = height x width x
length).
1. Ventilation of the boiler room must be adequate to provide sufficient air to properly
support combustion per the latest revision of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
section 5.3.
2. When a boiler is located in an unconfined space in a building or conventional construction
frame, masonry or metal building, infiltration normally is adequate to provide air for
combustion and ventilation. However, if the equipment is located in a building of unusually tight
construction (See the national Fuel Gas Code, Ansi Z223.1 section 1.7), the boiler area
should be considered as a confined space. In this case air for combustion and ventilation shall
be provided according to part 5 below. If there is any doubt, install air supply provisions in
accordance with the latest revision of the National Fuel Gas Code.

3. When a boiler is installed in an unconfined
space, in a building of unusually tight
construction, air for combustion and ventilation
must be obtained from outdoors or from
spaces freely communicating with the
outdoors. A permanent opening or openings
having a total free area of not less than 1
square inch per 5,000 BTU per hour of total
input rating of all appliances shall be provided.
Ducts may be used to convey makeup air
from the outdoors and shall have the same
cross-sectional area of the openings to which
they are connected.
4. When air for combustion and ventilation
is from inside buildings, the confined space
shall be provided with two permanent
openings, one starting 12 inches from the top
and one 12 inches from the bottom of the
enclosed space. Each opening shall have a
minimum free area of 1 square inch per one thousand (1000) BTU per hour of the total input
rating of all appliances in the enclosed space, but must not be less than one hundred (100)
square inches. These openings must freely communicate directly with other spaces of
sufficient volume so that the combined volume of all spaces meets the criteria for an
unconfined space.
PAGE 3
FIGURE 1
5. When the boiler is installed in a confined space and all air is provided from the outdoors
the confined space shall be provided with one or two permanent openings according to
methods A or B. When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross sectional area as the
free area of the area of the openings to which they connect. The minimum dimension of
rectangular air ducts shall be not less than 3 x 3 inches or 9 square inches.
A. When installing two openings, one must commence within 12 inches from the top and
FIGURE 3FIGURE 2
the other within 12 inches from the bottom of
the enclosure. The openings shall
communicate directly, or by ducts, with the
outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely
communicate with the outdoors. One of the
following methods must be used to provide
adequate air for ventilation and combustion.
1. When directly communicating
with the outdoors, each opening shall have a
minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000
BTU per hour of total input rating of all
equipment in the enclosure. See figure 2
below.
2. When communicating with the
outdoors by means of vertical ducts, each
FIGURE 4
opening shall have a minimum free area 1
square inch per 4,000 BTU per hour of total input rating of all appliances in the enclosed
space. See figure 3 above.
3. If horizontal ducts are used, each opening and duct shall have a minimum free
area 1 square inch per 2,000 BTU per hour of total input rating of all appliances in the enclosed
space. See figure 4 at right.
B. One permanent opening, commencing within 12 inches of the top of the enclosure,
shall be permitted where the equipment has clearances of at least 1 inch from the sides, 1
inch from the back, and 6 inches from the front of the boiler. The opening shall directly
communicate with the outdoors or shall communicate through a vertical or horizontal duct to
the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors. The
openings must have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 3000 Btu per hour of the total
PAGE 4
input rating of all equipment located in the enclosure. The free area must be no less than the
sum of the areas of all vent connectors in the confined space.
6. In calculating free area using louvers, grilles or screens for the above, consideration
shall be given to their blocking effect. Screens used shall not be smaller than 1/4 inch mesh.
If the free area through a design of louver or grill is known, it should be used in calculating
the size opening required to provide the free area specified. If the design and free area is
not known, it may be assumed that wood louvers will have 20-25% free area and metal
louvers and grilles will have 60-75% free area. Louvers and grilles should be fixed in the open
position or interlocked with the boiler so they are opened automatically during the boiler
operation.
