Air for combustion and ventilation must conform to stan­

burner level and the other opening shall be no more than 6
inches from the room's ceiling.
Combustion air openings should provide a minimum free
area one‐half square inch per 1,000 Btu per hour input.
This combustion air should be brought into the area con­
taining the furnace below the level of the furnace burner.
