SECTION VIII PRODUCING ADEQUATE AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION This section is for residential or manufactured (mobile) installation “This heater shall not be installed in unusually tight construction unless provisions are adequate for combustion and ventilation air.” NOTE: This heater shall not be installed in a room or space unless the required volume of indoor combustion air is provided by the method in National Fuel Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable codes.
1. 2. 3. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height). Length x Width x Height = _____________cu.ft.(volume of space) EXAMPLE: 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. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support. _____________ (volume of space)/50 cu.
SECTION IX AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION INSIDE BUILDING This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When venting to an adjoining space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of ceiling and one within 12" of floor, on wall connecting two spaces. (See Options 1 and 2 below.) You can also remove door into adjoining room. (See Option 3 below.) WARNING: REWORK WORKSHEET, ADDING SPACE OF ADJOINING UNCONFINED SPACE.
SECTION X AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION OUTDOORS Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of ceiling and one within 12" of floor. Connect these items directly to outdoors. These spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, “Air For Combustion and Ventilation” for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.
SECTION XI AFTER MARKET MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION NOTE: See “Producing Adequate Air For Combustion And Ventilation” THIS APPLIANCE MAY BE INSTALLED IN AN AFTERMARKET*, PERMANENTLY LOCATED, MANUFACTURED (MOBILE) HOME, WHERE NOT PROHIBITED BY LOCAL CODES. *After Market: Completion of sale, not for purpose of resale from manufacturer.
