NOTICE SOME AREAS IN THE UNITED STATES HAVE HIGHER REQUIREMENTS FOR CUBIC FEET PER 1000 BTU/ HOUR INPUT. (EX. CINCINNATI, OHIO CODES REQUIRE 70 CUBIC FEET). CHECK YOUR LOCAL CODE BEFORE INSTALLATION. DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION DETERMINE IF YOU HAVE UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION OR UNCONFINED SPACE Use this worksheet to determine if you have unusually tight construction or unconfined space.
Example: Gas water heater 40000 BTU/Hr Vent-free heater + 18000 BTU/Hr Total = 58000 BTU/Hr *Does 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.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION INSIDE BUILDING This fresh combustion and ventilation air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When ventilating to an adjoining 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 9). You can also remove door into adjoining room (See option 3, Figure 9). WARNING REWORK WORKSHEET, ADDING THE SPACE OF THE ADJOINING UNCONFINED SPACE.
