Napoleon Fireplaces GVFS60 - Manual (Page 8)

3.0 INSTALLATION
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air, see “COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR
PROVISIONS” section. Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and operating the
appliance.
Never obstruct the front opening of the appliance.
As long as clearance to combustibles is kept within the required distances, the most desirable and benefi -
cial location for an appliance is in the centre of a building, thereby allowing the most effi cient use of the heat
created. The location of windows, doors and the traffi c fl ow in the room where the appliance is to be located
should be considered.
Maintain these minimum clearances to combustibles:
A. 6” B. 6” C. 2”* D. 4’
No additional fl oor protection is required.
Minimum 46” from appliance top to ceiling.
* At a distance of 2” from the wall, access to the blower switch, on-off switch or the blower power cord may not
be practical.

3.1 COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR PROVISIONS
The GVFS60 is rated at 30,000 BTUs per hour and therefore requires a minimum unconfi ned space of 1,500
cubic feet.
17.1A
This appliance shall not be installed in a confi ned space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are
provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54 defi nes a confi ned space as a space whose volume is
less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances
installed in that space and an unconfi ned space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per
1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space.
Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not
furnished with doors are considered a part of the unconfi ned space.
