bacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene
lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may

ture to the air. Although this is beneficial,
installing heater in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form
too much moisture. See

Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation
grills or ducts. You must provide two perma-
nent 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. Follow the
National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation
for required size
of ventilation grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT:
Do not provide openings
for inlet or outlet air into attic if attic has a
thermostat-controlled power vent. Heated air
entering the attic will activate the power vent.
Rework worksheet, adding the space of the
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
adjoining unconfined space. The combined
spaces must have enough fresh air to supply
all appliances in both spaces.
