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.

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.

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 2). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 2).
Follow the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion
and Ventilation
for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.

WARNING

Rework worksheet, adding the space of the adjoining unconfined
space. The combined spaces must have enough fresh air to supply all
appliances in both spaces.
