II. AIR FOR VENTILATION AND COMBUSTION
WARNING: If the area in which the appliance 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.
NOTE: This Section does not apply if the appliance is being installed in a vented configuration.
This Section applies only if the appliance is being installed in an unvented firebox, or in a vented
fireplace or firebox with the damper closed.
• Adequate ventilation must be provided for safe operation of this appliance. This appliance shall
not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are made
for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
• To begin with, you must determine if your home has unusually tight construction. Air leaking
around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and ventilation.
However, in buildings of unusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.
• Unusually tight construction is defined as construction in which walls and ceilings exposed to
the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x
10
-11
kg per pa-sec-m
2
) or less with openings gasketed or sealed; AND weather stripping has
been added on openable windows and doors; AND caulking or sealants are applied to areas
such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and floors, between wall-
ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical and gas lines, and at
other openings.
