This results in the greatest heater comfort and may result in lower bills. LOCAL CODES Install and use heater with care. Installation must conform to local codes or in the absences of local codes, use the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. UNPACKING 1. Remove heater from carton. 2. Remove all protective packaging applied to heater for shipment. 3. Check heater for any shipping damage. If heater is damaged, promptly inform dealer where you bought heater. c. Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around windows and door frames, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings. If you home does not meet all of the three criteria above, see Determing the Type of Heater Location Space, page 4. Confined Space and Unconfined Space The National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1 defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kW) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space, and an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kW) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space. 3 Installation instructions and Owner’s Manual *Adjoining rooms are communication only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them. *Adjoining rooms are communication only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them. Use this method to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space. Note: the space includes the room in which you install heater plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms. 1. Find the volume of the space by multiplying room length x width x height. Example: Space size 18ft (length) x 18ft. (width) x 8ft. (height) = 2592 If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space. 2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum Btu/hr the space can support. Example: 2592 cu.ft. (volume of space) / 50 cu.ft. = 51.8 or 51,800 (maximum Btu/hr the space can support) room. If the extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between the rooms. See Ventilation Air From Inside Building (Fig. 2). B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors (Fig. 3). C. Install a lower Btu/hr heater if lower Btu/hr size makes room unconfined. If actual Btu/hr used is less than the maximum Btu/ hr the space can support, the space is an unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation. VENTILATION AIR Ventilation from Inside Building This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When ventilation to an adjoining unconfined space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12” of the ceiling and one within 12” of the floor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 & 2 of fig. 2). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option3, fig 2). Follow the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventila- WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated in smaller that that defined as an unconfined space or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by on the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes. 3. Add the Btu/hr of all the fuel-burning appliances in the space such as, Vent–free heater, Gas water heater, Gas furnace, Vented gas heater, Gas fireplace logs, and Other gas appliances* *Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct- vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors. Example: Gas water heater 40,000 Btu/hr Vent Free Heater + 20,000 Btu/hr Total =60,000 Btu/hr 4. Compare the maximum Btu/hr the space can support with the actual amount of Btu/hr used. Example: 51,800 Btu/hr (maximum Btu/hr the space can support) 60,000 Btu/hr (Actual amount of Btu/hr used) The space in the above example is a confined tion grills or ducts. Figure 2. WARNING: Rework worksheet, adding the space of the adjoining unconfined space. The combined space must have enough fresh air to supply all appliance in both spaces. Ventilation Gills into Adjoining Room - Option 1 Ventilation Gills into Adjoining Room - Option 2 12” 12” Or remove door into Adjoining Room - Option 3 space because the actual Btu/hr used is more than the maximum Btu/hr the space can support. You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows: A. Rework works...
