AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

Unusually tight construction is defined as 

construction where:

a.  walls and ceilings exposed to the out-

side atmosphere have a continuous 

water vapor retarder with a rating of 

one perm (6 x 10

-11

 kg per pa-sec-m

2

) or 

less with openings gasketed or sealed 

and

b.  weather stripping has been added on 

openable windows and doors and

c.  caulking or sealants are applied to 

areas such as joints around window 

and door frames, between sole plates 

and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, 

between wall panels, at penetrations 

for plumbing, electrical and gas lines 

and at other openings.

If your home meets all of the three criteria 

above, you must provide additional fresh 

air. See 

Ventilation Air From Outdoors

page 10. 

If your home does not meet all of the three 

criteria above, proceed to 

Determining 

Fresh-Air Flow For Firebox Location

.

Confined and Unconfined Space

The 

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/

NFPA 54

 defines a confined space as a space 

whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 

1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m

3

 per kw) of the ag

-

gregate input rating of all appliances installed 

in that space and an unconfined space as a 

space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic 

feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m

3

 per kw) 

of the aggregate input rating of all appliances 

installed in that space. Rooms communicating 

directly with the space in which the appliances 

are installed*, through openings not furnished 

with doors, are considered a part of the un

-

confined space.

* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if 

there are doorless passageways or ventilation 

grills between them.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW 

FOR FIREBOX LOCATION

Determining if You Have a Confined or 

Unconfined Space

Use this work sheet to determine if you have 

a confined or unconfined space.

Space:

 Includes the room in which you will 

install heater plus any adjoining rooms with 

doorless  passageways  or  ventilation  grills 

between the rooms.

 WARNING: This heater shall 

not be installed in a room or space 

unless the required volume of in-

door combustion air is provided 

by the method described in the 

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 

Z223.1/NFPA 54,

 the 

International 

Fuel Gas Code,

 or applicable 

local codes. Read the following 

instructions to insure proper 

fresh air for this and other fuel-

burning appliances in your home.

Today’s homes are built more energy efficient 

than ever. New materials, increased insulation 

and new construction methods help reduce 

heat  loss  in  homes.  Home  owners  weather 

strip and caulk around windows and doors to 

keep the cold air out and the warm air in. Dur

-

ing heating months, home owners want their 

homes as airtight as possible.
While it is good to make your home energy 

efficient, your home ne eds to breathe. Fresh 

air must enter your home. All fuel-burning ap-

pliances need fresh air for proper combustion 

and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers and 

fuel burning appliances draw air from the house 

to operate. You must provide adequate fresh 

air for these appliances. This will insure proper 

venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.

PROVIDING ADEQUATE 

VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from 

National Fuel 

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for 

Combustion and Ventilation

.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three 

following ventilation classifications:
1.  Unusually Tight Construction
2.  Unconfined Space
3.  Confined Space
The information on pages 8 through 10 will help 

you classify your space and provide adequate 

ventilation.

Unusually Tight Construction

The air that leaks around doors and windows 

may provide enough fresh air for combustion 

and ventilation. However, in buildings of un

-

usually tight construction, you must provide 

additional fresh air.
