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 a supplemental heater (for a room), rather than a primary
heat source (for 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 sized properly for the application, including adequate combustion air and
circulation air.

2. If high humidity is experienced, a 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.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

www.PartsFor.com 1-800-446-1446

For replacement parts contact:

1-866-607-2787

WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a confined 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.

PRODUCING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z 223.1,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 7 through 9 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 cubic meter per kilowatt) of the aggregate input rating of
all appliances installed in that space and an unconfining space as a space whose volume is not less than
50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8 cubic meter per kilowatt) 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 heater 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 passageways or ventilation grills between them.

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 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
b) weather stripping has been added on windows that can be opened 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 f or 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 9). If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to Determining
Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location (below).

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=_____________ cu. ft. (volume of space)

Example: Space size 20ft. (length) × 16ft. (width) × 8ft. (ceiling height) = 2560cu. 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.

-11

kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed and

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)

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 Example:
Vented gas heater BTU/hr Gas water heater 30,000 BTU/hr

Gas heater logs BTU/hr Vent-free heater + 26,000 BTU/hr
Other gas appliances* + BTU/hr Total = 56,000 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 that 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 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

Outdoors,” page 9.

b) Vent room directly to the outdoors. See “Ventilation Air from Outdoors,” page 9.
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.
NOTE: 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, air for combustion and ventilation or
applicable local codes.

Ventilation Air From lnside Building

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,.
