The following formula can be used to determine the maximum heater rating (per the definition of
unconfined space) that is allowed in your space:
Example A: Consider a room with the following dimensions: L=16ft, W=14ft, H=8ft
Example B: Consider a room with the following dimensions: L1=16ft, W1=14ft, H1=8 which is
communicating directly with the space in a second room through openings not furnished with doors
having the following dimensions: L2=14ft, W2=12ft, H2=8
With data input into the equation:
Will my space support an ARIES Wall Mount Vent Free Gas Fireplace?
Maximum BTU/Hr. my space will support (use formula above)
a) _______________
BTU/hr. of ARIES Wall Mount Vent Free Gas Fireplace
b) _______________
If the answer to a) is
greater
than b) then your space
will
support the installation of a AURORA Wall
Mount Vent Free Gas Fireplace; if a) is
less
than b) then your space
will not
support a AURORA Wall
Mount Vent Free Gas Fireplace.
Bringing in Outside (or “Make-up”) Air:
Many building code jurisdictions require that outside or “make-up” air be provided when installing a
fireplace of this type. This requirement can be satisfied by the proper insta
llation of an ‘outside air
kit’ which is not provided. The final determination of the suitability of any particular kit must be
made by the installer.
If an outside air supply is desired it should be added to the room in which the AURORA Wall Mount
Vent Free Gas Fireplace is installed, not to the chase enclosing the fireplace.
If outside air is introduced into the chase, competing air pressures could compromise the operation
of the fireplace.
