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.

125500-01A 5

www.fmiproducts.com

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.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

Continued

Exhaust fans, replaces, 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.

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

-11

kg per pa-sec-m2) or

www.fmiproducts.com

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 FIREPLACE 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
replace 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) = 2,560 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: 2,560 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 replace _________ Btu/Hr
Gas water heater* _________ Btu/Hr

Gas furnace _________ Btu/Hr
Vented gas heater _________ Btu/Hr
Gas replace 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.

4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space

can support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr

used.

_______ Btu/Hr (maximum the space can

_______ Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr

used)

Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maxim um th e

space can support)

71,500 Btu/Hr (actual amount of

Btu/Hr used)

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,
page 7.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See

Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 7.

C. Install a lower Btu/Hr replace, if lower Btu/Hr

size makes room unconned.

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maxi-

mum 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" of the

125500-01A 7

www.fmiproducts.com

ceiling and one within 12" of the oor 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.

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 oor. 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 thermo-

stat-controlled power vent. Heated air entering
the attic will activate the power vent.

INSTALLATION

NOTICE: This heater is intended

for use as supplemental heat.
Use this heater along with your
primary heating system. Do not
install this heater as your pri­mary heat source. If you have a
central heating system, you may
run system’s circulating blower
while using heater. This will help
circulate the heat throughout the
house. In the event of a power
outage, you can use this heater
as your primary heat source.

WARNING: A qualied ser­vice person must install heater.
Follow all local codes.

NOTICE: State or local codes may

only allow operation of this appli­ance in a vented conguration.
Check your state or local codes.

WARNING: Before installing
in a solid fuel burning replace,
the chimney ue and rebox
must be cleaned of soot, creo­sote, ashes and loose paint by a
qualied chimney cleaner. Creo­sote will ignite if highly heated. A
dirty chimney ue may create and
distribute soot within the house.
Inspect chimney ue and rebox
for damage. If damaged, repair
ue before operating heater.

WARNING: Seal any fresh
air vents or ash clean-out doors

located on oor or wall of re­place. If not, drafting may cause
pilot outage or sooting. Use a
heat-resistant sealant. Do not
seal chimney ue damper.

WARNING: Never install the

heater

•

in a bedroom or bathroom un­less installed as a vented appli­ance (see page 11)

• in a recreational vehicle

to heater. Installing heater next
to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or
operating heater where impurities
(such as, but not limited to, to­bacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning uids, oil or kerosene
lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may
discolor walls or cause odors.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture

to the air. Although this is benecial, installing
heater in rooms without enough ventilation
air may cause mildew to form from too much

moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventila­tion, page 5.

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use only the correct gas type (natural or
propane/LP) for your unit. If your gas sup-

ply is not correct, do not install heater. Call
dealer where you bought heater for proper
