VENT-FREE PROPANE/LP GAS HEATER  
Confined and Unconfined  
Spaces  
PROVIDING ADEQUATE  
VENTILATION  
AIR FOR  
COMBUSTION AND  
VENTILATION  
The National Fuel Gas Code ANS Z223.1  
defines a confined space as a space whose  
volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1000  
Btuperhour(4.8cubicmetersperkw)ofthe  
aggregate input rating of all appliances in-  
stalledinthatspaceandanunconfinedspace  
as a space whose volume is not less than 50  
cubic feet per 1000 Btu per hour (4.8 cubic  
meters per kw) of the aggregate input rating  
of all appliances installed in that space.  
Rooms communicating directly with the  
spaceinwhichtheappliancesareinstalled*,  
through openings not furnished with doors,  
are considered a part of the unconfined  
space.  
The following are excerpts from National  
Fuel Gas Code. NFPA 54/ANS Z223.1, Sec-  
tion5.3, AirforCombustionandVentilation.  
WARNING: This heater shall  
notbeinstalledinaconfinedspace  
or unusually tight construction  
unless provisions are provided  
foradequatecombustionandven-  
tilation air. Read the following in-  
structions to insure proper fresh  
air for this and other fuel-burning  
appliances in your home.  
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three  
following ventilation classifications:  
1. Unusually Tight Construction  
2. Unconfined Space  
3. Confined Space  
The information on pages 4 through 6 will  
help you classify your space and provide  
adequate ventilation.  
Unusually Tight Construction  
Today’s homes are built more energy effi-  
cient than ever. New materials, increased  
insulation, and new construction methods  
helpreduceheatlossinhomes. Homeowners  
weather strip and caulk around windows and  
doorstokeepthecoldairoutandthewarmair  
in. During heating months, home owners  
want their homes as airtight as possible.  
The air that leaks around doors and win-  
dows may provide enough fresh air for  
combustion and ventilation. However, in  
buildings of unusually tight construction,  
you must provide additional fresh air.  
This heater shall not be installed in a con-  
fined space or unusually tight construction  
unless provisions are provided for adequate  
combustion and ventilation air.  
*Adjoining rooms are communicating only  
iftherearedoorlesspassagewaysorventila-  
tion grills between them.  
Unusually tight construction is de-  
fined as construction where:  
While it is good to make your home energy  
efficient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh  
air must enter your home. All fuel-burning  
appliances need fresh air for proper com-  
bustion and ventilation.  
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the  
outside atmosphere have a con-  
tinuous water vapor retarder with  
a rating of one perm (6 x 10-11 kg  
per pa-sec-m2) or less with open-  
ings gasketed or sealed and  
Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, and  
fuel burning appliances draw air from the  
house to operate. You must provide ad-  
equate fresh air for these appliances. This  
will insure proper venting of vented fuel-  
burning appliances.  
b. weather stripping has been  
added on openable windows and  
doors and  
c. caulking or sealants are applied  
to areas such as joints around  
window and door frames, be-  
tween sole plates and floors, be-  
tween wall-ceiling joints, be-  
tween wall panels, at penetra-  
tions for plumbing, electrical, and  
gas lines, and at other openings.  
If your home meets all of the three  
criteria above, you must provide ad-  
ditional fresh air. See Ventilation Air  
From Outdoors, page 6.  
If your home does not meet all of the  
three criteria above, proceed to Deter-  
mining Fresh-Air Flow for Heater Lo-  
cation on page 5.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION  
Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space  
Use this worksheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.  
Space:Includestheroominwhichyouwillinstallheaterplusanyadjoiningroomswithdoorlesspassagewaysorventilationgrillsbetween  
the rooms.  
1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height).  
Length x Width x Height = ________________ cu. ft. (volume of space)  
Example: Space size 18 ft. (length) x 16 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2304 cu. ft. (volume of space)  
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.  
_______________ (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = (Maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)  
Example: 2304 cu. ft. (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = 46.1 or 46,100 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)  
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.

Other gas appliances* + _________________ Btu/Hr  
Total = _________________ Btu/Hr  
* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.  
4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.  
_________________ Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)  
_________________ Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)  
Example: 46,100 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)  
50,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)  
The space in the above example is a confined 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 worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoin-  
ing room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From Inside Building, page 6.  
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 6.  
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, 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 unconfined space. You will need no  
additional fresh air ventilation.  
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated 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, ANS Z223.1, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN  
The thermostatic control used on these  
models differs from standard thermo-  
stats. Standard thermostats simply turn  
on and off the burner. The thermostat  
used on this heater senses the room tem-  
perature. The thermostat adjusts the  
amount of gas flow to the burner. This  
increases or decreases the burner flame  
height. At times the room may exceed the  
set temperature. If so, the burner will  
shut off. The burner will cycle back on  
when room temperature drops below the  
set temperature. The control knob can be  
set to any heat level between HI and LO.  
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to  
Appliance, column 1)

Figure 19 shows an incorrect pilot flame
