B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See
Ventilation Air From Outdoors
.
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr fireplace, 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 heater may be operated does
not meet the required volume for
indoor combustion air, combus
-
tion and ventilation air shall be
provided by one of the methods
described in the
National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
the
International Fuel Gas Code,
or applicable local codes.
VENTILATION AIR
Ventilation Air From Inside building
This fresh air would come from an adjoining
unconfined space. When ventilating to an
adjoining unconfined 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 4). You can also remove door
into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 4).
Follow the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and
Ventilation
for required size of ventilation
grills or ducts.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
Continued
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.
