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, NFPA 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 hour
3
(4.8 m
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 m
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.
per kw) of the aggregate
3
per kw) of the
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
per pa-sec-m
openings gasketed or sealed
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.
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
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)÷50 cu.ft.=51.2 or 51,200(maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
Width×Height= cu.ft. (volume of space)

*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 From
Inside Building.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors .
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.

WA TER VAPOR:A BY-PRODUCT OF
UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Water vapor is by-product of gas
combustion.an unvented room
heater prodrces approximately one
(1) ounce (30ml) of water for every 1,
000BTU’s (.3kw’s) of gas input per
hour.
Unvented room heaters are recommended as supplemtal heat (a
room) rather that 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 atmosphers experienced
during cold weather.
The following steps will help insure
that water vapor does not become a
problem.
1. Besure the heater is sized properly for the application,including
ample combustion air and circulation of the 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.
