Notes:
* Measure Top Clearance
as illustrated.
** When supplied with optional downturn nozzle, bottom clearance is 42"
(1067mm). For service purposes, on standard units, bottom clearance
exceeding minimum (12" or 305mm) is not required but may be desirable.
*** For service purposes only, rear
must have 24" (610mm) clearance.

All fuel-burning equipment must be supplied with the air that enters into the combus-
tion process and is then vented to the outdoors. Sufficient air must enter the equipment
location to replace that exhausted through the heater vent system. In the past, the
infiltration of outside air assumed in heat loss calculations (one air change per hour)
was assumed to be sufficient. However, current construction methods using more insu-
lation, vapor barriers, tighter fitting and gasketed doors and windows or weather-strip-
ping, and mechanical exhaust fans may now require the introduction of outside air
through wall openings or ducts.
The requirements for combustion and ventilation air depend upon whether the unit
is located in a confined or unconfined space. An "unconfined space" is defined as a
space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTUH of the installed
appliance.
Under all conditions, enough air must be provided to ensure there will
not be a negative pressure condition within the equipment room or space. For specific
requirements for confined space installation, see Paragraph 2.2.
4. Clearances and
Dimensions
4.1 Clearances
Units must be installed so that the following clearances are provided for combustion air
space, service and inspection, and for proper spacing from combustible construction.
Clearance to combustibles is defined as the minimum distance from the heater to a
surface or object that is necessary to ensure that a surface temperature of 90°F above
the surrounding ambient temperature is not exceeded.
