A closet is any 4 sided enclosure
which is less than 16* times the

A room is any enclosure which is
at least 16* times greater than the

An alcove suitable for the
installation of a heater is a
restricted section of a room not

or partition and which meets the
minimum clearances specified in
this manual.
* When the cieling height exceeds 8 feet, you are only allowed to consider 8
feet when calculating the total volume of the enclosure.

device supplied with the boiler. Provide at least
six inches clearance between the automatic vent
damper and combustible construction, and be
sure to allow access for servicing the damper.
WARNING
Do not force motor operation when the operator is
fastened to the damper by moving the damper
blade, turning the shaft, or turning the position
