*Outside air openings shall directly communicate with the outdoors. When combustion air is drawn from the outside through a
duct, the net free area of each of the two openings must have twice (2 times) the free area required for Outside Air/2 Openings.
The above requirements are for the boiler only; additional gas fired appliances in the equipment room will require an increase in
the net free area to supply adequate combustion air for all appliances.
**Combined interior space must be 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/hr input. Buildings MUST NOT be of *“Tight Construction”.
For buildings of *“Tight Construction”, provide air openings into the building from outside.
*No combustion air openings are needed when the water heater is installed in a space with a volume NO LESS than 50 cubic feet
per 1,000 Btu/hr of all installed gas fired appliances. Buildings MUST NOT be of *“Tight Construction”.
* “Tight Construction” is defined as a building with less than 0.40 ACH (air changes per hour).
Vent installations for connection to gas vents or
chimneys must be in accordance with “Vent
ing of
Equipment,” of the latest edition of the Na tion al Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1, in Canada, the latest edi tion of CGA
Standard B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances
and Equipment or applicable pro vi sions of the local building
codes.
Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be
sup
plied to the room where the appliance is installed in
accordance with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1, in Canada, the latest edition of CGA
Standard B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning Ap pli anc es
and Equipment, or applicable pro vi sions of the local building
codes.
