WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Water vapor is a by-product of gas combustion. An unvented room heater produces approximately one(1) ounce
(30ml) of water for every 1,000 BTU’s (.3KW’s)of gas input per hour.
Unvented room heaters are recommended as supplemental heater (a room). Rather than a primary heat source (an entire
house).
In most supplemental heat applications, the water vapor does not create a problem. In most applications, the water vapor
enhances the low humidity atmosphere experienced during cold weather.
The following steps will help insure that water vapor does not become a problem.
1.Be sure the heater is a sized properly for the application, including ample combustion air and circulation air.
2.If high humidity is experienced, dehumidifier may be used to help lower the water vapor content of the air.
3.Do not use an unvented room heater as the primary heat source.
OVERRIDE CONTROL SYSTEM
These fireplaces have two operation
method: Remote Control and Manual
Control. The Remote Control has a
transmitter, which requires three AAA batteries and electric power outlet to operate.
If no power, you can operate the fireplace
by manual.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This fireplace
shall not be installed in a con-
fined 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.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI
Z223.1. Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of
the three following ventilation
classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 5 through
6 will help you classify your space
and provide adequate ventilation.
Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 defines a confined 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. An unconfining space
is defined 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 unconfined space.
This fireplace shall not be installed
in a confined space or unusually tight
construction unless provisions are
provided for adequate combustion
and ventilation air.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passage
ways or ventilation grills between
them.
Unusually Tight Construction
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space
Use this worksheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined 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×width×height).
Length×Width×Height= cu.ft. (volume of space)
Example: Space size 20ft. (length)×16ft. ( width)×8ft. (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. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.
(volume of space)÷50 cu. ft.=(Maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space)÷50 cu.ft.=51.2 or 51,200(maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
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 defined as construction where:
a) walls and ceilings exposed to
the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a
rating of one perm ( 6× 10
-11
kg per pasec-m2) or 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 the three
criteria above, you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air
From Inside Building, page 6.
If your home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, proceed to De-
termining Fresh-Air Flow For Heater
Location, page 6.
6
WARNING: Rework the worksheet, adding the space of the adjoining unconfined space. The
combined spaces must have enough fresh air to supply all appliances in both spaces.
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an
unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.
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.
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 : 51,200 Btu/Hr(maximum the space can support)
56,000 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
maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.
You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:
A. Rework the worksheet by adding the space of an adjoining 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, page 6.
B. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr size makes the room unconfined.
Figure 2 -Ventilation Air From Inside Building
Example:
Gas water heater 30,000 Btu/Hr
Vent-free heater + 26,000 Btu/Hr
Total = 56,000 Btu/Hr
WARNING: If the area in which the fireplace may be operated is smaller than that
defined as an unconfined space or if the building is of unusually tight construction,
provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of the methods described in
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.
This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When ventilating to an adjoining
unconfined space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and
one within 12" of the floor 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. NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1. Section 5.3,
Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required
size of ventilation grills or ducts.
Ventilation Air From lnside Building
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. 0 Clearance to Back wall. 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, NFPA
54/ANSI Z223.1, 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.
