3.21 Combustion Air and Ventilation Openings
Provisions for combustion and ventiiation air must be made in accordance with section 5.3, Air 
for Combustion and Ventilation, of the National Flue Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54., or 
Sections 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of CAN/CSA-B149.1-05, installation codes, or appilcable provisions of 
the local building codes. 
Insufficient Ventilations and Combustion Air
3.21.1
BOILER DAMAGE AND OPERATIONAL FAILURES may occur due to insufficient or improper 
openings for combustion air and/or ventilation of the boiler room. 
Provisions for combustion air and ventilation are always required, regardless of whether the 
combustion air is taken from the outside (sealed combustion) or inside (room air used as 
combustion air). 
Insufficient ventilation of the boiler room can lead to high air temperatures. This can result in 
boiler damage. Note the following: 
• Make sure that intake and exhaust openings are sufficiently sized and no reduction or closure of
any openings takes place.
• When a combustion air or ventilation problem is not resolved, do not operate the boiler. 
• Please note these restrictions and its dangers to the operator of the boiler. 
When one expects contaminated combustion air (near swimming pools, chemical cleaning 
operations, hair salons, etc.), sealed combustion operation is recommended.
