PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

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
(30 mL) of water for every 1,000 BTUs (.3 kw) 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
applications, the water vapor does not create a problem. In most applications, the water vapor enhances the low
humidity atmosphere experience 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 ample combustion air and circulation air.

2. If high humidity is experienced, a dehumidier 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 should 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, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1. Air for Combustion and Ventilation. All

spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classications:

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconned Space

3. Conned Space

The information on pages 7 through 9 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.

Conned and Unconned Space

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 denes a conned space as a space whose volume is less than

50 cu. ft. per 1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 m^3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and

an unconned space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 m^3 per kw) of

the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms connecting directly with the space in which

the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconned

space.

This heater shall not be installed in a conned space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for

adequate combustion and ventilation air.

* Adjoining rooms are connecting 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 dened as construction where:

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

Weather stripping has been added on openable windows and on doors and

Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates

and oors, between wall ceiling 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 “Ventilation Air From
Outdoors”. If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to “Determining Fresh-Air Flow For
Heater Location”.
