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 ne eds to breathe. Fresh

air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.

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 8 through 10 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.

www.fmiproducts.com

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 (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 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 10.

If your home does not meet all of the three

criteria above, proceed to Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Firebox Location.

Conned 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.

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) = 3,168 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: 3,168 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 =

63,360 (maximum Btu/Hr 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.

Example:

Gas water heater _________ Btu/Hr Vent-free replace + _________ Btu/Hr

Total = _________ 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 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.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See

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

Hr size makes room unconned.

www.fmiproducts.com

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" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the oor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 4). You can also remove door

into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 4 ).

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.

When bricks are wet, any excess grout mixture on bricks will easily wipe off.

2. In a heavy duty mixing bucket, add equal parts cement and sand. Add enough water and mix together well using a power drill with mixing wand attachment to a yogurt like consistency. Not adding enough water

can lead to grout falling out after burning.

3. The overall length of piping bag should be

about 16". If the bag is longer than 16", cut it down to size by removing end with larger opening. This will make the bag

easier to handle.

4. Put grout mixture into piping bag making

sure the smaller opening is downward and over a moist towel to avoid spilling. Place a wet towel over the bucket making sure it

is directly on the surface of grout mixture.

This will keep the mixture moist and it will

not dry out before use.

5. Grout all joints where two rebrick walls

come together.

6. Using a trowel, remove excess grout mixture by moving trowel in the direction of

the joint. Grout mixture in the joint should

now be ush with brick surface. If not

enough grout is applied into each space, grout may fall out after burning.

7. Using a joint striker, smooth out grout line.

Allow 72 hours before

operating replace.

INSTALLING FIREPLACE HOOD AND SCREENS

1. Attach hood to rebox using screws provided (see Figure 17).

1. Slide round end of screen rod into rings at top of screen. Attach one push-on nut to end of rod before attaching last ring of screen.

2. Insert the round end screen rod into hole on the left and right side of smoke shelf (Figure 18).

GAS LINE INSTALLATION

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

IMPORTANT: See Connecting to Gas Supply

in your log set owner’s manual for details on

gas hookup.

Note: Before you proceed, make sure your gas supply is turned off.

Use only a 1/2" black iron pipe and appropriate ttings.

1. Remove knockout indentation on refrac-

tory or rebrick wall located above refractory hearth oor. Knockout indentation must be rmly tapped with any solid object such as a 1/2" dowel until it is released.

Remove fragmented portions of refractory (see Figure 19).

2. Remove gas line cover plate located on either side of replace and pull out insulation from gas line conduit sleeve. Save

insulation for reuse. Replace screws.

3. Run a 1/2" black iron gas line into replace

through the rear at gas line conduit sleeve (if using a raised platform, add height). Provide

sufcient gas line into replace chamber for tting connection (see Figure 20).

Note: Secure incoming gas line to wood

framing to provide rigidity for threaded end.

4. Repack insulation around gas line and into

sleeve opening. Seal any gaps between gas line and refractory knockout hole with

refractory cement or commercial furnace cement, Install the gas appliance or cap-off gas line if desired.

CAUTION: All gas piping

and connections must be tested

for leaks after the installation

is completed. After ensuring that the gas valve is on, apply soap and water solution to all connections and joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME FOR LEAK

TESTING AND DO NOT OPER-

ATE ANY APPLIANCE IF A LEAK IS DETECTED. LEAK TESTING

SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALI-

FIED SERVICE PERSON.
