Alternatively
a single
permanent
opening
may be used when
communicating
directly
with the outdoors,
or with spaces
that
freely
communicate
with
the outdoors.
The
opening
shall
have a minimum
free area of 1 square
inch per 3,000
BTU
per hour (8.3 cm2/kW)
of total input rating
of all equipment
in
the enclosure.

Louvers
and Grilles:
In calculating
free area,
consideration
shall
be given
to the blocking
effect
of louvers,
grilles
or
screens
protecting
openings.
Screens
used
shall
not be
smaller
than
1/4 inch (6.4 mm) mesh.
If the free area through
a design
of louver
or grille
is known,
it should
be used
in
calculating
the size opening
required
to provide
the free area
specified.
If the design
and free area is not known,
it may be
assumed
that wood
louvers
will be 20-25
percent
free area
and metal
louvers
and grilles
will have 60-75
percent
free
area.
Louvers
and grilles
shall be fixed in the open position
or interlocked
with the equipment
so that they
are opened
automatically
during
equipment
operation.

HOTTER
WATER
CAN SCALD:
Water
heaters
are
intended
to produce
hot water.
Water
heated
to a temperature
which
will satisfy
space
heating,
clothes
washing,
dish washing,
cleaning
and other sanitizing
needs
can scald
and
permanently
injure
you
upon
contact.
Some
people
are
more
likely
to be permanently
injured
by
hot water
than others.
These
include
the elderly,
children,
the
infirm, or physically/mentaly
handicapped.
Ifanyone
using hot
water
in your
home
fits into one of these
groups
or if there
is a
local code
or state
law requiring
a certain
temperature
water
at the hot water
tap, then
you must take
special
precautions.
In addition
to using
the lowest
possible
temperature
setting
that satisfies
your hot water
needs,
a means
such as a *mixing
valve,
should
be used
at the hot water
taps
used
by these
people
or at the water
heater.
Mixing
valves
are available
at
plumbing
supply
or hardware
stores.
See
Figure
15. Valves
for reducing
point of use temperature
by mixing
cold and hot
water
are also available.
Follow
manufacturer's
instructions
for
installation
of the valves.
