– b) In unconfined spaces in buildings of
conventional frame, masonry, or metal
construction, infiltration air is normally adequate to
provide air for combustion.
• Appliances located in confined spaces:
The confined space must be provided with two
permanent openings, one commencing within 12
inches (304.8mm) of the top and one commencing
within 12 inches (304.8mm) of the bottom of the
enclosure. Each opening must have a minimum free
area of one square inch per:
– 1000 Btu/hr (292.81 Watts) if all air is taken from
inside the building
– 2000 Btu/hr (585.62 Watts) if all air is taken from
the outside by horizontal ducts
– 4000 Btu/hr (1171.24 Watts)if all air is taken from
the outside by direct openings or vertical ducts
Or the confined space must be provided with one
permanent opening or duct that is within 12 inches
(304.8mm) of the ceiling of the enclosure. This opening
must have a minimum free area of one square inch per:
– 3000 Btu/hr (878.43 Watts) if all air is taken from
the outside by a direct opening or vertical duct.
Louvers, grills and screens have a blocking effect. If the
effective free area is not known, increase the sizes of
your openings by 75% if your louvers are wood and by
30% if your louvers are metal. Refer to the National Fuel
Gas Code for complete information. In buildings of tight
construction all air should be taken from outside.
2.9 Venting
NOTE: This appliance's exhaust must be vented
to the outside with a sealed 3" stainless steel
vent pipe (AL29-4C). The appliance's flue gasses
are under positive pressure and must travel
through a stainless steel 3" pipe that is sealed
gas tight. Stainless steel vent pipe is equipped
with sealing gaskets for ease of installation,
proper safety and durability. The heater shall not
be vented in combination with any other
appliance; the appliance must only be vented
with a dedicated sealed vent system.
Establish vent clearances that comply with the vent
manufacturer's specifications. In all cases follow local
codes. See table 2.
Warning: Do not reduce the vent
(exhaust and combustion) pipe sizes
and do not common vent with any other
vented appliance or stove.
Caution: The vent system must be
installed by a qualified agency in
accordance with these instructions. If
improperly installed a hazardous
condition such as explosion or Carbon
Monoxide poisoning could result. CEC
will not be responsible for improperly
installed appliances.
