3.0 INSTALLATION

3.1 INSTALLING IN AN UNVENTED APPLICATION

WARNING

BARRIERS SUCH AS THE BOTTOM OF A GLASS DOOR FRAME PLACED IN FRONT OF A GAS LOG

SET CAN CHANGE THE AIR FLOW CHARACTERISTICS OF THE APPLIANCE WHICH IN TURN CAN

CAUSE THE APPLIANCE TO CARBON OR OVERHEAT AND MALFUNCTION.

During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping various components of this appliance are treated with certain oils, ﬁ lms or bonding agents. These materials may produce smoke and smells as they are burned off during the initial operation of the appliance; possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence. Simply open a window to ventilate the room during the burn off period.

3.1.1 COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR PROVISIONS

This appliance shall not be installed in a conﬁ ned space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54 deﬁ nes a conﬁ 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 unconﬁ 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 unconﬁ ned space.

17.1A

The GVFL 18/24/30 are all rated at 40,000 BTUs per hour and therefore requires a minimum unconﬁ ned space of 2,000 cubic feet.

3.1.2 DETERMINING CONFINED OR UNCONFINED SPACE

To determine the volume of the room where the appliance is to be installed, multiply the width x the length x the ceiling height of that room measured in feet. If any adjoining rooms are connected by grilles or openings such as kitchen pass-throughs, etc., the volume of those rooms may be added to the total.

Multiply the room volume by 1000 and divide this amount by 50 to determine the maximum BTU/hr that the space can support with adequate combustion and ventilation air.

dd the Btu/hr of all fuel burning appliances located within the space such as gas furnace, gas water appliance, etc. Do not include direct vent gas appliances which draw their input and output air from and to the outdoors.

Unusually tight construction is deﬁ ned as construction where: A) Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapour retarder with a

rating of 1 perm (6 x 10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed, and

WARNING

IF THE AREA IN WHICH THE APPLIANCE MAY BE OPERA TED IS SMALLER THAN THAT DEFINED AS

AN UNCONFINED SP ACE OR IF THE BUILDING IS OF UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION, PROVIDE

ADEQUA TE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR BY ONE OF THE METHODS DESCRIBED IN THE

NA TIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 , AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION, OR THE

APPLICABLE LOCAL CODE.

IF THE AREA IN WHICH THE APPLIANCE MAY BE OPERA TED 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 ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54, THE INTERNATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE,

OR APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES.
