The opening
shall
commence
within
12 in. (300
ram)
of the
ceiling. Appliances
in the space shall have clearances
of at least 1
in. (25 ram) from the sides and back and 6 in. (150 ram) from the
front. The opening
shall directly
communicate
with the outdoors
or shall conmmnicate
through
a vertical
or horizontal
duct to the
outdoors
or spaces
(crawl or attic) that freely communicate
with
the outdoors.

Air@ NFPA
& AGA Standard
and

Indoor
air is permitted
for combustion,
ventilation,
and dilution,
if the Standard
or Known-Air-Infiltration
Method
is used.

POISONING
HAZARD
Failure
to follow
this warning
could
result
in death
and/or
personal
iniury.
Many
homes
require
air to be supplied
from
outdoors
for
furnace
combustion,
ventilation,
and dilution
of flue gases.
The
furnace
combustion
air supply
must
be provided
in
accordance
with this instruction
manual.
* Minimum opening
size is 100 sq in. (64516 sq, mm) with minimum
dimensions
of 3 in. (76 mm)
1- Minimum of 3 in. (76 mm) when type-B1 vent is used.

from

The Standard
Method:
1. The space has no less volume
than 50 cubic feet per 1,000
Btuh of the maximum
input
ratings
for all gas appliances
installed
in the space and
2. The air infiltration
rate is not known
to be less than 0.40
air changes
per hour (ACH).
The Known
Air Infiltration
Rate Method
shall be used,
if the
infiltration
rate is known
to be:
1. Less than 0.40 ACH and
2. Equal to or greater
than 0.10 ACH
Infiltration
rates greater
than 0.60 ACH
shall not be used.
The
minimum
required
volume
of the space varies with the number
of
ACH and shall be determined
per Table
3 or Equations
1 and 2.
Determine
the minimum
required
volume
for each appliance
in
the space
and add the volumes
together
to get the total n_ininmm
required
volume
for the space.
