Example

:

A space with a water heater rated at 45,000 Btuh 
input and a furnace rated at 75,000 Btuh requires a 
volume of 6,000 cubic feet [50 x (45 + 75) = 6,000] to 
be considered unconfined. If the space has an 8 foot 
ceiling, the floor area of the space must be 750 square 
feet (6,000 / 8 = 750).

Alternate Method of Providing Air from 
Outside

If acceptable under local Codes, it is permitted to provide 
outside air using one opening (See NFGC).

Generally, confined spaces must have two openings in 
the space for combustion air. One opening must be within 
12 inches of the ceiling, and the other must be within 
12 inches of the floor. However, an alternative method 
recently adopted by the NFGC uses one opening within 
12 inches of the top of the space. This method may be 
used if it is acceptable to the local codes.

The following conditions must be met:

1. The opening must start within 12” of the top of the 

structure and connect with the out of doors through 
vertical or horizontal ducts or be ducted to a crawl or 
attic space that connects with the out of doors.

2. The opening must have a minimum free area of 1 sq. 

in. per 3,000 Btu per hour of the total input rating of all 
equipment located in the enclosure.

3. The free area must not be less than the sum of all the 

areas of the vent connectors in the enclosure.

Installation in Unconfined Spaces

An unconfined space is an area including all rooms not 
separated by doors with a volume greater than 50 cubic 
feet per 1,000 Btuh of the combined input rates of all 
appliances which draw combustion air from that space.

In general, a furnace installed in an unconfined space will 
not require outside air for combustion. However, in homes 
built for energy efficiency (low air change rates), it may 
be necessary to provide outside air to ensure adequate 
combustion and venting, even though the furnace is 
located in an unconfined space. See example.

Category IV Venting

This furnace is classified as a “Category IV” appliance, 
which requires special venting materials and installation 
procedures. This section specifies installation requirements 
for Conventional (1-pipe) and Direct Vent (2-pipe) piping.

This type of appliance operates with positive vent pressure 
and therefore requires the furnace to be vented to the 
outdoors and thoroughly sealed. They also produce 
liquid condensate, which is slightly acidic and can cause 
severe corrosion of ordinary venting materials. Furnace 
operation can be adversely affected by restrictive vent 
and combustion air piping.
