Enclosure Ventilation Requirements

The VF Fire Pit burner enclosure must be ventilated to properly cool the fire pit (see illustration below for details).
The enclosure must be ventilated in accordance with the requirements listed below to allow the
appliance to cool. Failure to provide this ventilation will create a severe fire risk. The ventilation
grills must be installed within 24" of the appliance.
Enclosure Ventilation Overview

The VF Fire Pit Burner enclosure must have at least (2)
vents. The vents must be on opposite sides of the
enclosure from each other (either on the ends (a) or
along the sides (b). Each vent must provide a minimum
of 9 square inches of free area.
Example: If (w) = 4" and (h) = 2"
4" x 2" = 8 square inches
8" < 9" (the minimum)

Example: If (w) = 12" and (h) = 2"
2" x 12" = 24 square inches
