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, NFPA54/
ANSZ223.1.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 4 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
(4.8 m

3

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 m

3

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

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).

Length

×

Width×Height= cu.ft. (volume of space)

Example: Space size 20 ft. (length)

×

16 ft.( width)×8 ft. (ceiling height)=2560 cu. 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.

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)

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-m

2

) or less with

openings gasketed or sealed

and
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 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 Ventilation Air
From Outdoors, page 5.
If your home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, proceed to
Determining Fresh Air Flow For
Heater Location, below.

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.

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.

3. 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
Vented gas heater Btu/Hr
Gas heater logs

Btu/Hr
Other gas appliances* + Btu/Hr
Total =

Btu/Hr
*Do not include direct-vented gas appliances. Direct-vented 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, 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.

Figure 2 -Ventilation Air from Inside Building

Example:
Gas water heater 30,000 Btu/Hr
Vent-free heater +

26,000 Btu/Hr

Total = 56,000 Btu/Hr

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.

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/ANS Z223.1.
Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for

required size of ventilation grills or ducts.

Ventilation Air From lnside Building

Ventilation Air From Outdoors

Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts.
You must provide two permanent openings: one within
12

" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the 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 thermostat-controlled power vent.
Heated air entering the attic will activate the power vent.

back walls.

CAUTION: This heater creates
warm air currents. These currents
move heat to wall surfaces next to
heater. Installing heater next to vinyl
or cloth wall coverings or operating
heater where impurities (such as
tobacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps,
etc.) in the air exist, may discolor
walls.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add
moisture to the air. Although this is
beneficial, installing heater in rooms
without enough ventilation air may
cause mildew. See Air for Combustion
and Ventilation, page 4 through 5.

CHECK GAS TYPE

Be sure your gas supply is right for
your heater. Otherwise, call dealer
where you bought heater from for
proper type heater.

WATER VAPOR:A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS

Water vapor: a by-product of gas combustion.An unvented room heater produces 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 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.

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.

CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLES
(Vent-Free Operation Only)

Carefully follow the instructions below. This stove
is a freestanding unit designed to set directly
on the floor. IMPORTANT: You must maintain
minimum wall and ceiling clearances during
installation. The minimum clearances are shown
in Figure 4. Measure from outermost point of
stove top.

Minimum Wall and Ceiling
Clearances(see Figure 4)

A. Clearances from outermost point of stove
top to any combustible side wall should not

be less than 12 inches.
B. Clearances from outermost point of stove top
to any combustible back wall should not be
less than 6 inches (lncludes corner
installations).
C. Clearances from the stove top to the ceiling
should not be less than 48 inches.

CONNECTING TO GAS
