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 lo-

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

Today’s homes are built more energy ef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 the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.

While it is good to make your home energy ef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, heaters, 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, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three

following ventilation classications:

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconned Space

3. Conned 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 ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.

Unusually tight construction is dened 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 (6x10 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 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 of the three criteria

above, 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, page 6.

Conned Space and Unconned Space

The National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 denes a conned space as a space

whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconned space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (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 unconned 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 Conned or Unconned Space

Use this work sheet to determine if you have a conned or uncon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 20 ft. (6.1m) (length) x

16 ft. (4.88m) (width) x 8 ft. (2.44 m) (ceiling height) = 2,560 cu. ft. (72.49 m2)(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: 2,560 cu. ft. (72.49 m2) (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 heater _________ Btu/Hr Gas water heater* _________ Btu/Hr Gas furnace _________ Btu/Hr Vented gas heater _________ Btu/Hr Gas heater 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 _________ Btu/Hr Vent-free heater + _________Btu/Hr Total = _________Btu/Hr

4. 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 (ma ximum the

space can support)

60,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of

Btu/Hr used)

50,000 10,000

60,000

www.fmiproducts.com

The space in the example is a con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 unconned 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, page 7.

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

size makes room unconned.

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an uncon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/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code,

or applicable local codes.

VENTILATION AIR

Ventilation Air From Inside Building

This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconned space. When ventilating to an adjoining unconned space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" (30.5 cm) of the ceiling and one within 12" (30.5 cm) of the oor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 2, page

7). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 2, page 7). Follow

the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation

for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8" NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pressure regulator.

WARNING: A qualied service person must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

WARNING: For natural gas, never connect heater to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas

is commonly known as wellhead

gas.

IMPORTANT: For natural gas, check gas line pressure before connecting heater to gas line. Gas line pressure must be no greater than

10.5" W.C.. If gas line pressure is higher, heater regulator damage could occur.

CAUTION: For propane/LP gas, never connect 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.

For propane/LP gas, 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" W.C.. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install the external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 14. 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 large enough diameter to allow proper gas volume to heater. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.

Installation must include 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 13).

A. This appliance has a pilot which must

be ligh ted by hand. W hen lightin g the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around

the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the oor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the oor.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electric switch; do

not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier

from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier,

call the re department.

C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the

gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualied service technician or gas supplier. Force or attempted repair may result in a re or explosion.

Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualied service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

models differs from standard thermostats. Standard thermostats simply turn on and off the burner. The thermostat used on this heater senses the room temperature. At times the room may exceed the set temperature. If so, the burner will shut off. The burner will cycle back on when room temperature drops below the set temperature. The control knob can be set to any comfort level between 1 and 5. All plaques will turn off and on.

Note: The thermostat sensing bulb measures the temperature of air near the heater cabinet. This may not always agree with room temperature (depending on housing

Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame patterns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 20 shows a correct pilot ame pattern. Figure 21 shows an incorrect pilot ame pattern. The incorrect pilot ame is not touching the thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the heater will shut down.

If pilot ame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 21

5. Replace front panel.

Note: The pilot ame on natural gas units will have a slight curve, but ame should be blue

and have no yellow or orange color.

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

WARNING: If yellow tipping

occurs, your heater could pro-

duce increased levels of car-

bon monoxide. If burner ame pattern shows yellow tipping, proceed with the following instructions.

NOTICE: Do not mistake orange ames with yellow tipping. Dust or other ne particles enter the heater and burn causing brief patches of orange ame.

Figure 22 shows a correct burner ame pattern. If burner ame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 23, page 15,

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

BURNER PILOT AIR INLET

The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air to mix with the gas. This provides a clean burning ame. Keep these holes clear of dust, dirt and lint. 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 qualied 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 orice holder for dust and dirt (see Figure 24).

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

4. Never inset objects into the pilot tube.

5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the orice holder.

Clean pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the pilot ame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about 2" from where the pilot ame comes out of the pilot assembly (see Figure 30). 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.
