AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION Providing adequate ventilation The following is excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code. NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, 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 7 through 11 will help you classify your space and provide ad- equate ventilation. Unusually Tight Construction The air that

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION 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 the firebox 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 22 ft. (length) x 18 ft.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air from Outdoors, page 11. C. Install a lower BTU/Hr firebox, if lower BTU/Hr size makes room unconfined. 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. WARNING If the area in which the firebox and gas log heater may be operated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space, provid

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION 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. (See Figure 2) IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat- controlled power vent. Heated

PREPARING FIREPLACE WARNING: IF THIS APPLIANCE IS INSTALLED IN A FACTORY-BUILT FIREPLACE, DO NOT BLOCK OR RESTRICT ANY OF THE GRILLES ON THE FACTORY-BUILT FIREPLACE. THE GRILLES ALLOW AIR CIRCULATION WHICH PREVENTS THE FACTORY-BUILT FIREPLACE FROM OVERHEATING. BLOCKING OR RESTRICTING THE AIR CIRCULATION CAN CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD. WARNING: BEFORE INSTALLING IN A SOLID FUEL FIREPLACE, THE CHIMNEY FLUE AND FIREBOX MUST BE CLEANED OF SOOT, CREOSOTE, ASHES AND LOOSE PAINT BY A QUALIFIED CHIMNEY CLEA

GAS CONNECTION A qualified gas appliance installer must connect the fireplace to the gas supply. Consult all local codes. Use new black iron or steel pipe only. Internally tinned copper tubing can be used in some areas when permitted by local codes. Only use pipe of 1/2" or greater diameter to allow full gas volume to heater. Excessive pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small. A manual shutoff valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPT pressure tapping point must be installed upstream of the hea
