WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a

confined space or unusually tight construction un-
less provisions are provided for adequate combus-
tion and ventilation air. Read the following instruc-
tions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-
burning appliances in your home.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION

Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New
materials, increased insulation, and new construction methods help
reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk
around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air
in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as
airtight as possible.

While it is good to make your home energy efficient, your home
needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning
appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, and fuel burning appliances
draw air from the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh
air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented
fuel-burning appliances.

PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation
classifications:

1.

Unusually Tight Construction

2.

Unconfined Space

3.

Confined Space

The information on pages 4 through 6 will help you classify your
space and provide adequate ventilation.

Unusually Tight Construction

The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough
fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of
unusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.

Unusually tight construction is defined as construction
where:

a.

walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere
have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating
of one perm (6 x 10

-11

kg per pa-sec-m

2

) or less with

openings gasketed or sealed

and

b. weather stripping has been added on openable win-

dows and doors
