AIR FOR COMBUSTION

AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a conﬁned space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.

Todayʼs homes are built more energy efﬁcient 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 the cold air out

and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.

113109-01B 5

AIR FOR COMBUSTION

AND VENTILATION

Continued

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

PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three fol lowing ventilation classiﬁcations:

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconﬁned Space

3. Conﬁned Space

The information on pages 5 through 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 ven tilation. 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 out

side 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 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 of these three criteria, you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 7.

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

Conﬁned and Unconﬁned Space

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 deﬁnes a conﬁned space as a space whose

volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m

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 per hour

(4.8 m

per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms com municating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconﬁned space.

* 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

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 = (Maxi-

mum 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.

the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 3). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 3). Follow the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of

ventilation grills or ducts.

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

_________

Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr 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 maxi

mum 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 adjoin

ing 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 Ventila

tion 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 uncon-

ﬁned space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

WARNING: If the area in which the ﬁreplace may be operated is smaller than that deﬁned as

Figure 3 - 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, Section 5.3, 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 thermostatcontrolled power vent. Heated air entering the attic will activate the power vent.

Mantel Clearances for Built-In Installation

If placing mantel above built-in ﬁreplace, you must meet minimum clearance between mantel shelf and top of ﬁreplace opening.

NOTICE: If your installation does not meet the minimum clear ances shown, you must do one of the following:

• raise the mantel to an acceptable height

• remove the mantel

NOTICE: Surface temperatures of adjacent walls and mantels become hot during operation. Walls and mantels above the ﬁrebox may become hot to the touch. If installed properly, these tem peratures meet the requirement of the national product standard. Follow all minimum clearances shown in this manual.

INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE LOCATION

WARNING: This appliance requires a 1/2" NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pressure regulator.

WARNI N G : A qual i f ie d service person must connect ﬁreplace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

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

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

for Built-In Installation

Installation Items Needed

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

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

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve *

• test gauge connection *

• sediment trap (optional)

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

• approved ﬂexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes) (not provided)

* A CSA design-certiﬁed equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA

design-certiﬁed equipment shutoff valve from your dealer. See

Accessories, page 38.

Page 14

INSTALLATION

Continued

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 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pres sure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 21. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Inter nally-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 ﬁreplace. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.

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 ﬁreplace (see Figure 22).

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 re quirements 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 ﬁreplace valves. Never use sealant on ﬂare threads.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 22. Locate sediment

trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in

piping system between fuel supply and ﬁreplace. Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into ﬁreplace gas controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, ﬁreplace may not run properly.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off ﬁreplace

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner and circulating air passageways of ﬁreplace clean. Inspect these areas of ﬁreplace before each use. Have ﬁreplace inspected yearly by a qualiﬁed service person. Fireplace 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.

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. You can use a vacuum cleaner in the blow position. If using com pressed air in a can, please follow the directions on the can. If you donʼt follow directions on the can, you could damage the pilot assembly.

1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow the 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 Figures 48 and 49).

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

4. Check the 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 above.

Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the pilot ﬂame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot as sembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about two inches from where the pilot ﬂame comes out of the pilot assembly (see Figure 49). 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.
