WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Water vapor is a by-produ ct of gas combustion.An un vented
room heater productes approximately one (1) ounce (30ml)
of water for every 1,000 BTU’s (.3KW’s) of gas input per hour.
Unvented room heaters are recomm en ded as supplemental
heat (a r oom ) rather th an a pr imary heat sou rce (a n entire
house) .In most supplemental heat application, the water
vapor does not create a problem. In most applications, the
water vapor enhances the low humidity atmosphere
experience during co ld weather.
Figure1-Compact Vent-Free Fireplace
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 ample combusion 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
WARNING: This heater shall
not be installed in a confined space
or unusually t ight constr uction
unless provisions are provided for
adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh
air f or this and other fuel-burning
appliances in your home.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
The foll owing are excerpts from
National Fu el Gas Code, NFPA 54/
ANSI Z223 .1.Sect ion 5.3, Air f or
Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one
of t h e th ree f ol lowing v entilati on
classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 4 through
5 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 sp ace as
a space whose v olum e is l ess
than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per
3
hour (4.8 m
per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances
installed i n that space and an
unconf ini ng space as a space
whose volume is not less than 50
cubic feet per 1,000 Btu p er hour
3
(4.8 m
per kw) of th e aggr egat e
input r ating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space
in which the appliances are
installed*, through openings not
furn ished with doors, are considered a p art of the un confi ned
space.
This heater shall not be installed
in a conf ined space or unusually
tight cons truction un less provisions
are pr ovided for ad equate combustion an d ventilation air.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless
passageways or ventilat ion grills
betwee n them.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors
and w indows may provide enou gh
fresh air for com bustion and
ventilation. However, in buildings of
unusually tight constr uction, you
must provide additional fresh air.
Unusua lly tight constr uction is
defined as cons tr uc tion wher e:
a) walls and ceilings exp osed to
the outside atmosphere have a
continuous water vapor retarder with
-11
a rating of one perm ( 6×10

c) caul ki ng or seal ant s are applied to areas such as joints around
window and door frames, between
sole plates and floors, between wallceiling join t s, be tween 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 Venti-
latio n Air From Outdoors, pa ge 5.
If your home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, proceed to

Example: Space size 20ft. (length)
If additional ventilation to adjoining roo m is supplied with grills or openings, add th e volume of these
rooms to th e tota l volume of th e sp ace.
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 c u. ft. (volume of space)

You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:
A. R ewo rk w o rksh eet, add ing th e sp ac e of an ad jo ining ro om . If the extra sp ac e pro vides an un co n fined
space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From
Inside Building (below).
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors (bel ow) .
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room uncon fined.
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an
uncon fined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.
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 co nstruction, p rovide adequate combu stion and ventilation air by one of the
methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, or
