  • Page 7: Preparing For Installation

    Preparing for Installation WATER VAPOR IS A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS Gas combustion creates water vapor as a by-product. Unvented room heaters create about one (1) ounce (30 ml) of water for every 1,000 BTUs (0.3 kW) of gas input per hour. An unvented room heater is recommended as a supplemental heat source for a single room rather than as a primary heat source for an entire house.
