VENTILATION

This section is for residential or manufactured (mobile) installation

“This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless pro­visions are adequate combustion and ventilation air.”

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines a confined space as a space
whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m 3 per kw) of the
aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space as a
space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m
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.

“WARNING: IF THE AREA IN WHICH THE HEATER 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/NFPA 54, SECTION 5.3 OR
APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES.”

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 1 perm (6 x 10
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.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR

HEATER LOCATION

DETERMINE IF YOU HAVE A CONFINED OR UNCONFINED SPACE

Use this worksheet to determine if you have confined or unconfined space.

SPACE: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus adjoining rooms with
doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.

Page 13

1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height).
Length x Width x Height =_________cu.ft.(volume of space)
EXAMPLE: 20 ft.(Length) x 16 ft.(Width) x 8 ft.(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
51200 (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 fireplace logs _______________BTU/Hr
Other gas appliances* + _______________BTU/Hr
Total = _______________BTU/Hr
Example: Gas water heater 40000 BTU/Hr
Vent-free heater + 18000 B

TU/Hr
Total = 58000 BTU/Hr
*Does 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: 51200 BTU/Hr (maximum the space can support)
58000 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 worksheet, 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 21.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See “Ventilation Air From Outdoors”, page 22.
C. Install a lower BTU/Hr heater, if lower BTU/Hr size makes room unconfined.

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.

WAR N I NG : YOU MUST PROVIDE ADDITIONAL VENTILATION AIR IN A

CONFINED SPACE

VENTILATION AIR

Page 14

VENTILATION AIR FROM INSIDE BUILDING

This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When venting to an adjoining
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 5). You
can also remove door into adjoining room. (See Option 3, Figure 5).

WARNING

REWORK WORKSHEET, ADDING THE SPACE OF THE ADJOINING
UNCONFINED SPACE. THE COMBINED SPACES MUST HAVE ENOUGH FRESH
AIR TO SUPPLY ALL APPLIANCES IN BOTH SPACES.

NOTE: Each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 1000 BTU’s per

hour of the total input ratings of all gas utilization equipment in the confined space, but not less
than 100 square inches.

Figure 5: Ventilation Air From Inside Building
NOTE: Drill holes on bottom of pedestal base on each corner. Unit must be fastened to floor
with screws.

WARNING

Page 15

THIS HEATER MUST HAVE FRESH AIR FOR PROPER OPERATION. IF
NOT, POOR FUEL COMBUSTION COULD RESULT. READ THE
FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE PROPER FRESH AIR FOR
THIS AND OTHER FUEL-BURNING APPLIANCES IN YOUR HOME.

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 floor. Connect these items
directly to the outdoors. These spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow the National
Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 4.3, “Air For Combustion and Ventilation” for
required size of ventilation grills or ducts. See Figure 6.

IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat­controlled power vent. Heated air entering the attic will activate the power unit.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION

Page 26

1. The thermostat control on this heater differs from standard thermostats. Standard
thermostats simply turn the burner on and off. The thermostat used on this heater
senses the room temperature and adjusts the amount of gas flow to the burner. This
will increase or decrease the flame height. At times, the room may exceed the set
temperature, which will cause the burner to shut off. When room temperature drops
below the thermostat setting, the burner will cycle itself on again. The control knob can
be set to any level between “LO” and “HI”.

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 construction, installation location, room size, open air temperatures,
etc.). Frequent use of your heater will allow you to determine your personal
comfort levels.

MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE

1. If the pilot cannot be lit with the piezo, it can be manually lit with the use of a paper
match and a lighter rod.

2. Open access panel door located at bottom front of the appliance.

3. Place the match in the holder and light. With the left hand, turn the control knob
counterclockwise to “PILOT”position. Press in gas control knob for fifteen
(15) seconds.

4. Use rod to light match and ignite pilot. The pilot is located in front of the rear log and

burner on the right hand side of the appliance.

5. Continue to hold the control knob for an additional one (1) minute to ensure the pilot is

lit.

6. Turn control knob counterclockwise to the “ON” position. Push the
“ON/ OFF” toggle switch to the “ON” position. The main burner should light.

7. Close access panel door.

8. Turn on all electrical power to the appliance.

NOTE: This unit may be used with an optional Wall Thermostat. If so, the Wall Thermostat
needs to be set at a higher temperature than the room temperature.

FLAME CHECK

Page 27

A periodic check of the flames should be made. The pilot flame should always be present when
the gas logs are in operation. See Figure 11.

FLAME:

• Propane (LP) should produce a flame that is about 6" above the rear log. This flame
should be yellow.

• Natural gas should produce a flame that is about 3" to 4" above rear log. This flame should
be mostly blue except foot the top tips which should be yellow.

CLEANING

CAUTION: BEFORE CLEANING OR MOVING THESE LOGS OR

OTHER PARTS OF THE HEATER, BE SURE TO READ THE ABOVE
SECTIONS ON “IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.”

The appliance must be turned “OFF” before cleaning inside the firebox (burn
area), make sure the pilot is “OFF” completely and the appliance has cooled.

• All cleaning should be carried out when the heater is cold. Limited cleaning is required
with normal use. Dusting the front of the base, the top of the piezo cover, or the control
knob panel may be required occasionally. Do not use cleaning fluids to clean the logs or
any other part of the heater.

• If the flames show unusual shapes or behavior, or if burner fails to ignite properly, the
burner holes may require cleaning. If this occurs, contact your nearest dealer to service the
heater.

• The heater can be cleaned by removing the logs. Lift the logs gently, as not to damage the
fiber pieces. The logs have been spot glued in place for shipping, use caution when
removing. Lift each log by holding it carefully at each end. Use a vacuum cleaner to
remove dust and loose particles from the base, logs and around the burner and ODS/Pilot.
Gloves are recommended to prevent fibers from breaking the skin. If skin is broken, clean

NEW BUCK CORPORATION

Page 39

We reserve the right to amend these specifications at any time without notice. The only
warranty applicable is our standard written warranty. We offer no other warranty, expressed or
implied.

LIMITED WARRANTY

MODEL FP-32

New Buck warrants this product to be free from defects in materials and components for two (2)
years from the date of first purchase, provided that the product has been properly installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with all applicable instructions. To make a claim under
this warranty the Bill of Sale or canceled check must be presented.

This warranty is extended only to the original retail purchaser and covers the cost of parts
required to restore the heater to proper condition. Warranty parts MUST be obtained through
an authorized Buck Stove dealer and/or New Buck, who will provide original factory
replacement parts. Failure to use original factory replacement parts voids this warranty. The
heater must be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with all local codes and
instructions furnished with the unit.

Warranty does not apply to parts that are not in original condition, normal wear and tear, or
parts that fail or become damaged as a result of misuse, accidents, lack of proper maintenance
or defects caused by improper installation.

WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER:

- Removal and re-installation cost

- Labor costs for replacements or repairs

- Transportation

- Cost of service call to diagnose trouble

- Painted surfaces

- Damage or defect caused by improper installation, accident, misuse, abuse, or alteration

TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY THE LAW OF THE JURISDICTION THAT
GOVERNS THE SALE OF THE PRODUCT, THIS EXPRESS WARRANTY EXCLUDES
ANY AND ALL OTHER EXPRESSED WARRANTIES AND LIMITS THE DURATION OF
ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE TO ONE (1) YEAR FROM THE DATE
OF FIRST PURCHASE. NEW BUCK LIABILITY IS HEREBY LIMITED TO THE
PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT AND NEW BUCK SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
ANY OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER INCLUDING INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

Some states do not allow a limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts or an exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation on implied warranties
or exclusion on damages may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights. Other rights may vary from state to state
