WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Water vapor is a by-product of gas combustion.An unvented room
heater productes approximately one (1) ounce (30ml) of wter for
every 1,000 BTU’s (.3KW’s) of gas input per hour.
Unvented room heaters are recommended as supplemental heat
(a room) rather than a primary heat source (an 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 cold weather.
4
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 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
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.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from
National Fuel Gas Code, NFP A 54/ANSZ 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 5 through
6 will help you classify your space
and provide adequate ventilation.
Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANS
Z223.1 defines a confined space as
a space whose volume is less
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 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 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 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
-11
kg per
pa-sec-m2) or less with openings
gasketed or sealed and
b) weather stripping has been
added on windows that open 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 wallceiling 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 Venti-lation Air From Outdoors, page 6.
If your home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, proceed to
Determining Fresh-Air Flow For
Heater Location, below.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
DETERMINING FRESHAIR 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
Length
Example: Space size 20ft. (length)
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)
Width×Height= cu.ft. (volume of space)
×
16ft. ( width)×8ft. (ceiling height)=2560 cu. ft. (volume of space)
×
width×height).
×
÷50 cu.ft.=51.2 or 51,200(maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)

Vent-free heater + 26,000 Btu/Hr
Total = 56,000 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 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 FromInside Building (below).
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors (below) .
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.
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,
ANS Z223.1, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.
Ventilation Air From lnside Building
12"
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).

floor. 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/ANS 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.
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.
