AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION
Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materi-
als, increased insulation, and new construction methods help reduce
heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk around
windowsanddoorstokeep thecoldairoutand thewarmair in.During
heatingmonths, homeownerswant theirhomes as airtightas possible.
While it is good to make your home energy efficient, your home
needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning
appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.
Exhaustfans,fireplaces,clothesdryers,andfuelburningappliances
drawairfromthehousetooperate.Youmustprovideadequatefresh
air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented
fuel-burning appliances.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, 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.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough
fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of
unusuallytightconstruction,you must provide additional fresh air.
Unusually tight construction is defined as construction
where:
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmo-
sphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with
a rating of one perm (6 x 10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or
less with openings gasketed or sealed and
b. weather stripping has been added on openable win-
dows 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, be-
tween wall panels,at penetrations for plumbing,elec-
trical, 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 6.
Ifyourhomedoes not meetallofthethreecriteriaabove,
proceed to Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Loca-
tion, page 5.
Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines a
confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet
per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3per kw) of the aggregate input rating
of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space as
aspacewhosevolumeisnotlessthan50cubicfeetper1,000Btuper
hour (4.8 m3per 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
furnishedwith doors,are considereda partof theunconfined space.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless
passageways or ventilation grills between them.
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a
confinedspaceorunusuallytightconstructionunless
provisionsareprovidedforadequatecombustionand
ventilation air. Read the following instructions to in-
sure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning
appliances in your home.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR
HEATER LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Confined or
Unconfined Space
Use this work sheet to determine if you have a confined or uncon-
fined 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)
Ifadditionalventilationtoadjoiningroom is supplied with grills or open-
ings, 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 = (maximum 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 heater ______________ Btu/Hr
Gas water heater* ______________ Btu/Hr
Gas furnace ______________ Btu/Hr
Vented gas heater ______________ Btu/Hr
Gas fireplace logs ______________ Btu/Hr
Other gas appliances*+ _____________ Btu/Hr
Total = _____________ Btu/Hr
* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws com-
bustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.
Example:
Gas water heater _____________ Btu/Hr
Vent-free heater + _____________ Btu/Hr
Total = _____________ Btu/Hr
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)
70,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
Thespace in theabove example isaconfined space becausethe actual Btu/
HrusedismorethanthemaximumBtu/Hr thespacecan support.Youmust

WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be
operated is smaller than that defined as an uncon-
fined space or if the building is of unusually tight
construction,provideadequatecombustionandven-
tilation air by one of the methods described in the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Sec-
tion 5.3 or applicable local codes.
