1) The heater must be provided with adequate supply
of air for proper combustion and ventilation in
accordance with the latest edition of the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or applicable provi
sions of the local building codes.
2) When the heater is installed in a confined space
where all air is supplied from inside the building, the

each one having a minimum net free area, in square
inches as follows:

must be considered in the calculation. Refer to Sec.

for additional requirements.
NOTE: If louvers, grills or screens are used on the
openings, obtain the net free area from their supplier or
manufacturer. If the design free area of a louver is not
known nor available, it shall be assumed that wood
louvers will have 20-25 percent free area and metal
