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 minimum required volume for the space.
Table 3 - Minimum Space Volumes were determined by using the
following equations from the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, 9.3.2.2:
Manufacturer reserves the right to change, at any time, specifications and designs without notice and without obligations.

The opening shall commence within 12 in. (300 mm) of the ceiling.
Appliances in the space shall have clearances of at least 1 in. (25 mm)
from the sides and back and 6 in. (150 mm) from the front. The opening
shall directly communicate with the outdoors or shall communicate
through a vertical or horizontal duct to the outdoors or spaces (crawl or
attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors.
Indoor Combustion Air
Known-Air-Infiltration Rate Methods
Indoor air is permitted for combustion, ventilation, and dilution, if the
Standard or Known-Air-Infiltration Method is used.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
Many homes require air to be supplied from outdoors for furnace
combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases.
