When using air from other room(s) in the building,
the total volume of the room(s) must be of adequate
volume (Greater than 50 cubic feet per 1000 Btu/hr).
Each Combustion air opening must have
at least one
square inch of free area for each 1000 Btuh
, but not
less than 100 square inches each.
When communicating directly with the outdoors
through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a

Note: If ducts are used, the cross sectional area of the
duct must be greater than or equal to the required
free area of the openings to which they are
connected.
When communicating indirectly with the outdoors
through vertical ducts, each opening shall have a
