*Net Free Area in Square Inches / Square cm
Area indicated is for one of two openings; one at floor level and
one at the ceiling, so the total net free area could be double the
figures indicated.
This chart is for use when communicating directly with the
outdoors. For special conditions and alternate methods, refer to
the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1.
Note:
Check with louver manufacturers for net free area of
louvers. Correct for screen resistance to the net free area if a
screen is installed. Check all local codes applicable to
combustion air.
Table 3. Combustion Air Openings.
SECTION 2.
Venting and Combustion Air
2.1 Combustion Air
Pennant pool heaters must have provisions for
combustion and ventilation air in accordance with
section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or Sections
7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes,
or applicable provisions of the local building codes.
A Pennant appliance may receive combustion air
from the space in which it is installed, or it can be
ducted directly to the unit from the outside.
Ventilation air must be provided in either case. Never
obtain combustion air from the pool area. Corrosion of
and/or damage to the pool heater may result.
2.1.1 Combustion Air From Room
In the United States, the most common
requirements specify that the space shall communicate
with the outdoors in accordance with method 1 or 2,
which follow. Where ducts are used, they shall be of
the same cross-sectional area as the free area of the
openings to which they connect.
Method 1
: Two permanent openings, one
commencing within 12 inches (30 cm) of the top and
one commencing within 12 inches (30 cm) of the
bottom, of the enclosure shall be provided. The
openings shall communicate directly, or by ducts, with
the outdoors or spaces that freely communicate with
the outdoors. When directly communicating with the
outdoors, or when communicating to the outdoors
through vertical ducts, each opening shall have a
minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4000 Btu/hr
1.6 Locating Heater with Respect to Pool
System Loop
For the best results, the Pennant should be
located within 15 feet (4.6m) of the pool system loop.
The pump is sized for 30 feet (9.1m) of piping.
If the appliance must be installed with longer
piping runs, then larger diameter piping shall be used.
Consult the factory for assistance.
1.7 Locating Appliance for Correct
Horizontal Vent/Ducted Air Distance
From Outside Wall
The forced draft combustion air blower/blowers
in the appliance has/have sufficient power to pull air
and vent properly when the following guidelines for
horizontal air and vent are followed (see Table 1).
NOTE:
On all model sizes, the vent collar size is larger
than the size of the vent pipe that can be used. Vent
collar size and horizontal pipe diameters can be found
in Table 1. The larger vent collar size is to
accommodate Category I (vertical) vent systems.
NOTE:
When located on the same wall, the Pennant
combustion air intake terminal must be installed a
minimum of 12" (30cm) below the exhaust vent
terminal and separated by a minimum of 36 inches
(91cm) horizontally.
The air intake terminal must be installed high
enough to avoid blockage from snow, leaves and other
debris. Never obtain combustion air from the pool
area. Corrosion of and/or damage to the pool heater
may result.
