COMBUSTION AiR & VENTING REQUIREMENTS
WARNING:
CARBON MONOXIDE POiSONiNG HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below
for each appliance connected to the venting
system being placed into operation could
result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
The following steps shall be followed with
each individual appliance connected to the
venting system being placed in operation,
while all other appliances connected to the
venting system are not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting
system.
2. inspect the venting system for proper size and
horizontal pitch, as required in the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSi Z223.1/NFPA 54 or
the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Codes and these instructions.
Determine that there is no blockage or
restriction, leakage, corrosion and other
deficiencies which could cause an unsafe
condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors
and windows and all doors between the space
in which the appliance(s) connected to the
venting system are located and other spaces

maximum speed. Do not operate a summer
exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the
appliance being inspected into operation.
Adjust the thermostat so appliance is
operating continuously.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped
appliances at the draft hood relief opening
after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use
the flame of a match or candle.
8. if improper venting is observed during any of
the above tests, the venting system must be
corrected in accordance with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA
B 149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Codes.
9. After it has been determined that each
appliance connected to the venting system
properly vents when tested as outlined above,
return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace
dampers and any other gas-fired burning
appliance to their previous conditions of use.
