Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must provide
two permanent openings: 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 NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, 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-controlled power vent. Heated air entering the attic will
activate the power vent.
