tion and ventilation air. Read the following instruc
-
tions to insure proper fresh air for this and other
fuel-burning appliances in your home.
ESTABLISHING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from
National Fuel Gas
Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Com-
bustion 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
This heater must not be installed in a confined space or
unusually tight construction unless provisions are pro
-
vided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. The
information on pages 3 through 5 will help you classify
your space and provide adequate ventilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
If your home meets all of the three following criteria you
must provide additional fresh air. See
Ventilation Air
from Outdoors
, page 5.
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-m
2
) or
less with openings gasketed or sealed and
b. Whether stripping has been added on openable win
-
dows and doors, and
c. Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as
joints around windows and door frames, between
wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetra
-
tions for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at
other openings.
If you home does not meet all of the three criteria
above, see
Determing the Type of Heater Location
Space
, page 4.
Confined Space and Unconfined Space
The
National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1
defines a confined space as a space whose volume is
less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m
3
per kW) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances
