Room Volume = Length x Width x Height

Max BTU/hr = Room Volume x 1000 / 50
or the applicable local code.
If for example:
Room Volume = Length x Width x Height
The length of the rooms is 5 feet (1.5m),
Max BTU/hr = Room Volume x 1000 / 50
The width of Room 1 is 10 feet (3.1m),
If for example:
The width of Room 2 is 15 feet (4.6m),
The length of the rooms is 5 feet (1.5m),
The height of the rooms is 8 feet (2.4m).
The width of Room 1 is 10 feet (3.1m),
Volume of Room 1: 5x10x8 = 400 cubic feet (11.16 cubic meters)
The width of Room 2 is 15 feet (4.6m),
Volume of Room 2: 5x15x8 = 600 cubic feet (16.56 cubic meters)
The height of the rooms is 8 feet (2.4m).
EXAMPLE 1:
Volume of Room 1: 5x10x8 = 400 cubic feet (11.16 cubic meters)
In this example, because there is no door to the adjoining room, the volume of the adjoining room may be added to the

In this example, because there is no door to the adjoining room, the volume of the adjoining room may be added to the

If there are no more fuel burning appliances within this space then the 40,000 BTU/h input of the appliance is suit-

Maximum BTU/h: [(1000x1000) ÷ 50] = 20,000 BTU/h
maximum BTU/h would be:
EXAMPLE 2:
Maximum BTU/h: [(400x1000) ÷50] = 8,000 BTU/h
If in this example a solid door separates Room 1 from Room 2, the volume of Room 2 could not be used. In this case the
maximum BTU/h would be:
Maximum BTU/h: [(400x1000) ÷50] = 8,000 BTU/h
This would be considered a confined space since it can not support the 40,000 BTU/h input of the appliance and
it would be necessary to provide adequate combustion and ventilation air to Room 1.

installing in a vented application

The appliance and gas logs function as a system. If the appliance is not drafting properly and spilling into the
room (check with a match or a smoke stick), reposition the damper clamp until a positive draft is obtained
by opening the damper. If negative pressure in home prevents having a positive draft, consult an air quality
specialist.

3.2.1 damper stop installation

WARNING
!
• Before installing in a solid fuel burning fireplace, the chimney and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote,
ashes and loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner.
The damper must be permanently locked in
position to prevent full closure and to provide
a minimum flue opening. Various methods for
locking the damper may be used but may be
restricted from region to region and it is important
to know the specifics that apply to your area.
For your convenience a damper stop is provided
with the appliance and may be used where not
prohibited by state or local codes.
