Indoor Combustion Air Requirements (Lx800 Only)
Drawing combustion air from the room can result in competition for combustion air with other fuel burning
appliances, ventilation air systems or exhaust sources. See Table 4.5 for a list of design considerations and
installation guidelines. Check with applicable codes and authorities regarding specific application requirements.
MERV Filter – The Indoor Combustion Air Kit comes with a 2” MERV 7 filter which is
mandatory for appliance operation. Do not operate the unit using indoor combustion air
without the filter installed. Failure to comply may result in property damage, serious injury or death.
Mandatory Interlocks - Required between motorized dampers and burner ignition controls to ensure adequate
supply or make-up air is provided. The Lx800 comes equipped with auxiliary proving capability. Simply remove
the jumper on the Low Voltage barrier labeled Aux. Proof (T2-7,8) and replace with field supplied end switch
incorporated with motorized damper and/or louver controls.
Wall Openings - Outdoor opening for louvers/grilles must be sized so that the minimum unobstructed area will
provide adequate air flow at high fire, known as the FREE AREA and is expressed in square inches/Btuh. Free
Area (FA) is determined by taking the area of the wall opening less any obstructions. Common louver free areas
range from 35% to 60% of the wall opening, meaning 65% to 40% is obstructed by the frame and blades.

Notes:
1
Placing ventilation and combustion air openings too close to each other may result in short circuiting of air flow.
2
Combustion air for each appliance must be calculated separately. The outdoor opening size can be a single opening
large enough for the collective total of each appliance in the room or a separate opening for each appliance.
3
Louvers/dampers must be fixed open or interlocked with fuel burning equipment to prove air flow during operation.
4
Screens/grilles over air openings create air flow resistance decreasing the effective area of unrestricted flow.
"
Free Area
"
(FA) is the minimum unobstructed area needed for adequate air flow at high fire expressed in square inches/Btuh.
5
Each appliance must be interlocked with the mechanical air supply system in the boiler room to prevent burner
operation when the fan is not operating.
