AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a room or space unless the required volume of indoor combustion air is provided by the method described in the

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFP A 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local

codes. Read the following instructions to ensure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.

Today’s homes are built more energy efﬁ cient than ever. New materials, increased insulation and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Homeowners apply weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, homeowners want their homes as airtight as possible.

While it is good to make your home energy efﬁ cient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, some ﬁ replaces, clothes dryers and some fuel-burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. That will ensure proper venting of vented fuelburning appliances.

PROVIDING ADEQUA TE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classiﬁ cations:

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconﬁ ned Space

3. Conﬁ ned Space The information on Pages 6-8 will help you

classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.

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 deﬁ ned as

SuperiorFireplaces.us.com

construction where: a. walls and ceilings exposed to the out-

side atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x 10 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 ﬂ 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 three criteria above, you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, Page 8.

If your home does not meet all three criteria above, proceed to Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location, Page 6.

Conﬁ ned Space and Unconﬁ ned Space

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFP A54 allows two methods for determining whether the space in which the heater is being installed is conﬁ ned or unconﬁ ned space. The standard method deﬁ nes a conﬁ ned space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconﬁ ned space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8

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 unconﬁ ned space.

Where the air inﬁ ltration rate of a structure is known, the Known Air Inﬁ ltration Rate Method may be used. Follow The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 to use this method to determine if the space is conﬁ ned or unconﬁ ned.

* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

Continued

Use this work sheet to determine if you have a conﬁ ned or unconﬁ ned 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 x width x height).

Length x Width x Height =__________cu. ft.

(volume of space)

Example: Space size 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft.

(width) x 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. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.

________ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maxi-

mum Btu/Hr the space can support)

Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20

= 51,200 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)

3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel-burning appliances in the space.

Vent-free ﬁ replace __________Btu/Hr Gas water heater* __________Btu/Hr Gas furnace __________ Btu/Hr Vented gas heater __________Btu/Hr Gas ﬁ replace logs __________Btu/Hr Other gas appliances* + ________Btu/Hr Total = _________Btu/Hr * Do not include direct-vent gas appliances.

Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.

Example: Gas water heater _________Btu/Hr Vent-free ﬁ replace + ________Btu/Hr Total _________= Btu/

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)

______ Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the

73,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of The space in the above example is a conﬁ ned

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:

Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)

space can support) Btu/Hr used)

40,000 33,000 73,000

A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an

adjoining room. If the extra space provides an unconﬁ ned space, remove door to adjoin- ing room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From Inside

Building, Page 7.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See

Ventilation Air From Outdoors, Page 8.

C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr

size makes room unconﬁ ned.

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an unconﬁ ned space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

WARNING: If the area in which

the heater may be operated does not meet the required volume for indoor combustion air, combustion and ventilation air shall be provided by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes.

VENTILA TION AIR

Ventilation Air From Inside Building

This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconﬁ ned space. When ventilating to an adjoining unconﬁ ned space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the ﬂ oor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 2). Y ou can also remove door into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 2). Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI

INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP ACCESSORY FOR VENTED OPERATION

NOTE: When used as a vented heater, appliance must be installed only in a solidfuel-burning ﬁ replace with a working ﬂ ue and constructed of noncombustible material.

For Massachusetts Residents Only: Installation of this vented gas log set in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires the damper be permanently removed or welded in the fully open position.

If your heater is a manually-controlled model, you may use this heater as a vented product. There are three reasons for operating your heater in the vented mode.

1. The ﬁ replace does not meet the clearance to combustibles requirements for vent-free operation.

2. State or local codes do not permit ventfree operation.

3. You prefer vented operation.

Page 12

INSTALLATION

Continued

If reasons number 1 or 2 apply to you, you must permanently open chimney ﬂ ue damper. You must install the damper clamp accessory (to order, see Accessories, Page

37). This will ensure vented operation (see Figure 10). The damper clamp will keep

damper open. Installation instructions are included with clamp accessory.

CAUTION: Do not pick up heater base assembly by burners. This could damage heater. Only handle base assembly by grates.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the heater burners are level. If heater is not level, heater will not work properly.

Installation Items Needed

• hardware package (provided with heater)

• approved ﬂ exible gas hose and ﬁ ttings (if allowed by local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not provided)

• electric drill with 3/16" drill bit (metal or masonry as applicable)

• ﬂ athead screwdriver

• pipe wrench

1. Connect approved ﬂ exible gas hose to

gas control ﬁ tting in heater (see Figure

11, Page 13).

IMPORTANT: Hold gas ﬁ tting with wrench

when connecting ﬂ exible gas hose.

2. Locate two masonry screws in hardware

package.

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8" NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pressure regulator.

WARNING: A qualiﬁ ed service person must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: Never connect propane/LP appliance directly to the propane/LP supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the heater and propane/LP supply.

Installation Items Needed

Before installing heater, make sure you have the items listed below.

• external regulator (supplied by installer)

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve *

• test gauge connection *

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench * A equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT

tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.

For propane/LP units, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 13. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

Sediment Trap

Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from heater (see

Figure 14). IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve

in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.

Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to appliances.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater valves.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 14. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and heater. Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, heater may not run properly .

OPERATION

FOR YOUR SAFETY

READ BEFORE LIGHTING

W ARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a ﬁ re or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A. This appliance has a pilot which must

be lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly .

B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around

the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the ﬂ oor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the ﬂ oor.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the ﬁ re department.

C. Use only your hand to push in or turn

the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualiﬁ ed service technician or gas supplier . Force or attempted repair may result in a ﬁ re or explosion.

D. Do not use this room heater if any part

has been under water. Immediately call a qualiﬁ ed service technician to inspect the room heater and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot ﬂ ame pattern and burner ﬂ ame patterns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 42 shows a correct pilot ﬂ ame pattern. Figure 43 shows an incorrect pilot ﬂ ame pat-

tern. The incorrect pilot ﬂ ame is not touching the thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the heater will shut down.

If pilot ﬂ ame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 43

• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-

pliance, Page 23)

• see Troubleshooting, Page 26 NOTE: The pilot ﬂ ame on natural gas units will

have a slight curve, but ﬂ ame should be blue and have no yellow or orange color.

BURNER PRIMARY AIR HOLES

Air is drawn into the burner through the holes in the ﬁ tting at the burner entrance. These holes may become blocked with dust or lint. Periodically inspect these holes for any blockage and clean if needed. Blocked air holes will create soot.

Pilot Burner

Pilot Burner

Figure 43 - Incorrect Pilot Flame Pattern

(Your pilot may vary from pilots shown)

Thermocouple

MAIN BURNER

Periodically inspect all burner ﬂ ame holes with the heater running. All slotted burner ﬂ ame holes should be open with yellow ﬂ ame pres- ent. All round burner ﬂ ame holes should be open with a small blue ﬂ ame present. Some burner ﬂ ame holes may become blocked by debris or rust, with no ﬂ ame present. If so, turn off heater and let cool. Remove blockage. Blocked burner ﬂ ame holes will create soot.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off heater

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners and circulating air passageways of heater clean. Inspect these areas of heater before each use. Have heater inspected yearly by a qualiﬁ ed service person. Heater may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, pet hair , bedding material, etc.

WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.

BURNER ORIFICE HOLDER AND PILOT AIR INLET HOLE

The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air to mix with the gas. This provides a clean burning ﬂ ame. Keep these holes clear of dust, dirt, lint and pet hair. Clean these air inlet holes prior to each heating season. Blocked air holes will create soot. We recommend that you clean the unit every three months during operation and have heater inspected yearly by a qualiﬁ ed service person.

We also recommend that you keep the burner tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend using compressed air no greater than 30 PSI. Your local computer store, hardware store or home center may carry compressed air in a can. If using compressed air in a can, please follow the directions on the can. If you don’t follow directions on the can, you could damage the pilot assembly.
