AiR FOR cOMBUSTiON AND VENTilATiON
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maxi-
mum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is
an unconfined space. You will need no additional
fresh air ventilation.
WARNING: If the area in
which the heater may be oper-
ated does not meet the required
volume for indoor combustion
air, combustion and ventilation
air shall be provided by one of
the methods described in the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, the Internation-
al Fuel Gas Code, or applicable
local codes.
vENTILATION AIR
Ventilation Air From Inside Building
This fresh air would come from an adjoining
unconfined space. When ventilating to an
adjoining unconfined space, you must provide
two permanent openings: one within 12" of the
ceiling and one within 12" of the floor on the
wall connecting the two spaces (see options
1 and 2, Figure 3). You can also remove door
into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 3).
Follow the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and
Ventilation for required size of ventilation
grills or ducts.

ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation
grills or ducts. You must provide two perma-
nent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling
and one within 12" of the floor. Connect these
items directly to the outdoors or spaces open
to the outdoors. These spaces include attics
and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation for required size
of ventilation grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet
or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat-
controlled power vent. Heated air entering the
attic will activate the power vent. Any outside
air ducts and/or ash dumps in the fireplace shall
be permanently closed at the time of appliance
installation.
