4. If a single combustion air opening is provided to bring
combustion air in directly from the outdoors, the
opening must be sized based on a minimum free area
of one square inch per 3000 Btu/hr (7 cm
2
per kW). This
opening must be located within 12” (30 cm) of the top of
the enclosure (see FIG. 1-6).

All dimensions based on net free area in square inches. Metal
louvers or screens reduce the free area of a combustion air
opening a minimum of approximately 25%. Check with
louver manufacturers for exact net free area of louvers.
CAUTION
Under no circumstances should the
equipment room ever be under negative
pressure. Particular care should be taken
where exhaust fans, attic fans, clothes dryers,
compressors, air handling units, etc., may
take away air from the unit.
The result is improper combustion and a non-warrantable,
premature appliance failure.
EXHAUST FANS:
Any fan or equipment which exhausts air
from the equipment room may deplete the combustion air
supply and/or cause a downdraft in the venting system. Spillage
of fl ue products from the venting system into an occupied
living space can cause a very hazardous condition that must be
corrected immediately.
The combustion air supply must be completely free of any
fl ammable vapors that may ignite or chemical fumes which may
be corrosive to the appliance. Common corrosive chemical
fumes which must be avoided are fl uorocarbons and other
halogenated compounds, most commonly present as refrigerants
or solvents, such as Freon, trichlorethylene, perchlorethylene,
chlorine, etc. These chemicals, when burned, form acids which
quickly attack the stainless steel heat exchanger, headers, fl ue
collectors, and the vent system.
Combustion air requirements are based on the latest edition
of the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1; in
Canada refer to the latest edition of CGA Standard CAN/CSA
B149.1. Check all local code requirements for combustion air.
The above requirements are for the
appliance only
; additional gas fi red appliances in the equipment room will require an increase
in the net free area and/or volume to supply adequate combustion air for all appliances.
No combustion air openings are needed when the appliance is installed in a space with a volume NO LESS than 50 cubic feet per
1,000 Btu/hr of all installed gas fi red appliances.
Buildings MUST NOT be of *“Tight Construction”

.
1
Outside air openings shall directly communicate with the outdoors.
2
Combined interior space must be 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/hr input.
Buildings MUST NOT be of *“Tight Construction”.
3
”Tight Construction”
is defi ned as a building with less than 0.40 ACH (air changes per hour). For buildings of
“Tight
Construction”
, provide air openings into the building from outside.
Where two openings are provided, one must be within 12"
(30 cm) of the ceiling and one must be within 12" (30 cm) of
the fl oor of the equipment room. Each opening must have a
net free area as specifi ed in Table 1B. Single openings shall
commence within 12" (30 cm) of the ceiling. The minimum
dimension of air openings shall not be less than 3" (80 mm).
