A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoin-

ing room. If the extra space provides an uncon-
fined space, remove door to adjoining room or add
ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation
Air From Inside Building.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventila-

tion Air From Outdoors.

C. Install a lower Btu/Hr fireplace, if lower Btu/Hr

size makes room unconfined.

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum
Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an uncon-
fined space. You will need no additional fresh air ven-
tilation.

WARNING: If the area in

which the heater may be oper-
ated is smaller than that defined
as an unconfined space or if the
building is of unusually tight
construction, provide adequate
combustion and ventilation air
by one of the methods described
in the

National Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 Section
5.3 or applicable local codes.

VENTILATION AIR

Ventilation Air From Inside Building

This fresh air would come from an adjoining un-
confined space. When ventilating to an adjoining
unconfined space, you must provide two perma-
nent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and
one within 12" of the floor on the wall connecting
the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 2).
You can also remove door into adjoining room (see
option 3, Figure 2). Follow the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation
for required size of
ventilation grills or ducts.

Ventilation Air From Outdoors

Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills
or ducts. You must provide two permanent open-
ings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within
12" of the floor. Connect these items directly to
the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These
spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation
for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.

IMPORTANT:

Do not provide openings for inlet

or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat-con-
trolled power vent. Heated air entering the attic
will activate the power vent.
