AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

Adequate flow of combustion and ventilating air must
not be obstructed from reaching the Furnace. Air open-
ings provided in the Furnace casing must be kept free
of obstructions which restrict the flow of air. Airflow re-
strictions affect the efficiency and safe operation of the
Furnace. Keep this in mind should you choose to re-
model or change the area which contains your Furnace.
Furnaces must have a free flow of air for proper perfor-
mance.

Installer's Guide
Provisions for combustion and ventilation air shall be
made in accordance with "latest edition" of Section 5.3,
Air for Combustion and Ventilation, of the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or Sections 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4
of CSA B149.1 Installation Codes, and applicable provi-
sions of the local building codes. Special conditions cre-
ated by mechanical exhausting of air and fireplaces
must be considered to avoid unsatisfactory Furnace op-
eration.
Furnace locations may be in "confined space" or "uncon-
fined space". Unconfined space is defined in Table 2 and
Figure 8. These spaces may have adequate air by infil-
tration to provide air for combustion, ventilation, and
dilution of flue gases. Buildings with tight construction
(for example, weather stripping, heavily insulated,
caulked, vapor barrier, etc.), may need additional air
provided as described for confined space.

1. All air from inside the building as in Figure 10: The
confined space shall be provided with two perma-
nent openings communicating directly with an addi-
tional room(s) of sufficient volume so that the com-
bined volume of all spaces meets the criteria for an
unconfined space. The total input of all gas utiliza-
tion equipment installed in the combined space
shall be considered in making this determination.
Refer to Table 3, for minimum open areas required.
2. All air from outdoors as in Figure 11: The confined
space shall be provided with two permanent open-
ings, one commencing within 12 inches of the top
and one commencing within 12 inches of the bot-
tom of the enclosure.
The openings shall communicate directly, or by
ducts, with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic)
that freely communicate with the outdoors. Refer to
Table 3, for minimum open areas required.
