Equipment in Confined Space—All Air from Inside
Confined Space Installation—Nondirect Venting Air from
Outside
If air from outside is brought in for combustion, the confined
space shall be provided with 2 permanent openings. One
opening shall be within 12" of the ceiling and 1 opening within
12" of the floor. Several methods can be used to bring the
outside air in through these openings. The openings must open
directly or by ducts to the outdoors, through spaces (crawl space
or attic) that freely open to the outdoors, or indirectly through
vertical ducts.
NOTE: If any of these methods are used, the inlet and outlet air
openings must each have a free area of 1 sq. in. per 4,000 Btu/h
of the total input rating of all equipment within the enclosure.
