Superior VRE4536WS Installation And Operation Instructions Manual page 8

The space in the example is a confi ned space because the actual Btu/
Hr used is more than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.
You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:
A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the
extra space provides an unconfi ned space, remove door to adjoining
room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air
From Inside Building.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From
Outdoors.
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr fi replace, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room
unconfi ned.
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space
can support, the space is an unconfi ned space. You will need no ad-
ditional fresh air ventilation.
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be
operated does not meet the required volume for indoor
combustion air, combustion and ventilation air shall
be provided by one of the methods described in the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the
International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes.
VENTILATION AIR
Ventilation Air From Inside Building
This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfi ned space. When
ventilating to an adjoining unconfi ned space, you must provide two
permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12"
of the fl oor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 and
2, Figure 4). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option
3, Figure 4). Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation
grills or ducts.

Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must
provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and
one within 12" of the fl oor. Connect these items directly to the out-
doors or spaces open to the outdoors. These spaces include attics
and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of
ventilation grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet or outlet air
into attic if attic has a thermostat-controlled power vent.
Heated air entering the attic will activate the power vent.
