. 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.

sphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with 

a rating of one perm (6 x 10

-11

 kg per pa-sec-m

) or 

less with openings gasketed or sealed and

b. Whether stripping has been added on openable win

Confined Space and Unconfined Space

The 

National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1
