-

mary heat source. If you have a 

central heating system, you may 

run system’s circulating blower

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 thermo-

stat-controlled power vent. Heated air entering 
the attic will activate the power vent.
