Stoichiometric or theoretical complete combustion requires 10 cubic feet of air per 1000 BTUH of
gas input. The National Fuel Gas Code also recommends an additional 2.5 cu.ft. of “excess air”.
This 12.5 cu.ft. minimum supply air per 1000 BTUH input applies to natural and propane gas mod
els.
The National Fuel Code also specifies minimum make-up air opening sizes for various building
installations (Ref: NFPA 54, ANSI Z223.1, sec 5.3).
