AIR FORCOMBUSTION ANDVENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall
not be Installed Ina confined spaceunless provisions are providedfor adequate combustion and ven-tilation air. Read the following In-structions to Insure proper freshair for this and other fuel-burningappliances in your home.
Today's homes are built more energy eff*-cient than ever. New materials, increasedinsulation, and new construction methodshelp reduce heat loss inhomes. Home ownersweather strip and caulk around windows anddoors tokeep the cold air out and the warm airin. During heating months, home ownerswant their homes as airtight as possible.
While it is good to make your home energyefficient, your home needs to breathe. Freshair must enter your home. All fuel-burningappliances need fresh air for proper com-bustion and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, andfuel burning appliances draw air from thehouse to operate. You must provide ad-equate fresh air for these appliances. Thiswill insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
PROVIDING ADEQUATEVENTILATION
The following isexcerpts from National FuelGas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI 7923.1. Section5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the threefollowing ventilation classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2, Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 5 through 7 willhelp you classify your space and provideadequate ventilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks arounddoors and win-dows may provide enough fresh air forcombustion and ventilation. However, in
buildings of unusually tight construction,you must provide additional fresh air.
Unusually tight construction Is de-fined as construction where:
a. walls and ceilings exposed to theoutside atmosphere have a con-tinuous water vapor retarder witha rating of one perm (6 x 10"11kgper pa-sec-m 2)or less with open-ings gasketed or sealed and
b. weather stripping has beenadded on openable windows anddoors and
c. caulking or sealants are appliedto areas such as joints aroundwindow and door frames, be-tween sole plates and floors, be-tween wall-ceiling joints, be-tween wall panels, at penetra-tions for plumbing, electrical, andgas lines, and at other openings.
If your home meets all of the threecriteria above, you must provide ad-ditional fresh air. See Ventilation AirFrom Outdoors, page 7.
If your home does not meet all of thethree criteria above, continue reading.
Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1,1992 Section 5.3) defines a confined spaceas a space whose volume is less than 50cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3perkw) of the aggregate input rating of allappliances installed in that space and anunconfining space as a space whose volumeis not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,0(30Btuper hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregateinput rating of all appliances installed in thatspace. Rooms communicating directly withthe space in which the appliances are in-stalled*, through openings not furnishedwith doors, arc considered a part of theunconfined space.
This heater shall not be installed in a con-
fined space or unusually tight constructionunless provisions are provided for adequatecombustion and ventilation air.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating onlyif there aredoorless passageways or ventila-tion grills between them.

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: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills betweenthe rooms.
I. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height).
Length x Width x Height = cu. ft. (volume of space)
Example: Space size 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2560 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/I-Ir the space can support)
Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) + 50 cu. ft. =51.2 or 51,200 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.
Vent-free heater B tu/I-Ir
Gas water heater* Btu/Hr Example:
Gas furnace Btu/Hr Gas water heater 30,000 Btu/Hr
Vented gas heater Btu/Hr Vent-free heater + 30,000 Btu/Hr
Gas fireplace logs Btu/Hr Total = 60,000 Btu/Hr
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/I-Ir used)
Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
60,000 Btu/I-Ir (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 worksheat, 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 7.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 7.
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 noadditional fresh air ventilation.
_WARNING: If the area Inwhich the heater may be operated Is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space Ior If the bulldlng Is of unusually tight constructlon, provide adequate combustion and ventllatlon alr by one ofthe methods descrlbed In the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 7.223.1, 1992, Section 5.3 or appllcable local codes.

AIR FORCOMBUSTION ANDVENTILATIONContinued
VENTILATION AIR
Ventilation Air From Inside
Building
This fresh air would come froman adjoiningunconfined space. When ventilating to anadjoining unconfined space, you must pro-vide two permanent openings: one within12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of thefloor on the wall connecting the two spaces(see options 1and 2, Figure 8). You can alsoremove door into adjoining room (see op-tion 3, Figure 8). Follow the National FuelGas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation forrequired size of ventilation grills or ducts.
_I'WARNING: Rework work-
sheet, adding the space of theadjoining unconfined space. Thecombined spaces must haveenough fresh air to supply allappliances In both spaces.
Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilationgrills or ducts. You must provide two per-manent openings: one within 12" of theceiling and one within 12" of the floor.Connect these items directly to the outdoorsor spaces open to the outdoors. These spacesinclude attics and crawl spaces. Follow theNational Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI
Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion andVentilation for required size of ventilationgrills or ducts.
IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings forinlet or outlet air into attic if attic has athermostat-controlled power vent. Heated airentering the attic will activate the power vent.
NOTICE: This heater is intendedfor use as supplemental heat. Usethis heater along with your pri-mary heating system. Do not in-stall this heater as your primaryheat sou rce. If you have a centralheating system, you may runsystem's circulating blower whileusing heater. This will help circu-late the heat throughout thehouse. In the event of a poweroutage, you can use this heateras your primary heat source.
NOTICE: A qualified service per-son must install heater. Followall local codes.

INSTALLATIONContinued
CONNECTING TO GASSUPPLY
NOTICE: A qualified service per-son must connect heater to gassupply. Follow all local codes.
CAUTION: Never connectheater directly to the propane/LPsupply. This heater requires an
• external regulator (not supplied).Install the external regulator be-tween the heater and propane/LPsupply.
The installer must supply an external regu-lator. The external regulator will reduceincoming gas pressure. You must reduceincoming gas pressure to between 11and 14inches of water. If you do not reduce incom-ing gas pressure, heater regulator damagecould occur. Install external regulator withthe vent pointing down as shown in Figure20. Pointing the vent down protects it fromfreezing rain or sleet.
CAUTION: Use only new,black Iron or steel pipe. Inter-nally-tlnned copper tubing maybe used in certain areas. Checkyour local codes. Use pipe of 1/2"or greater diameter to allowproper gas volume to heater. Ifpipe is too small, undue loss ofpressure will occur.
Installation must include a manual shutoff
valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap,Locate NPT tap within reach for test gaugehook up. NPT tap must be upstream fromheater (see Figure 21).
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to malethreads. This will prevent excess sealantfrom going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipecould result in clogged heater valves.
_lb CAUTION: Use pipe joint seal-ant that Is resistant to liquid pe-troleum (LP) gas.
Install sediment trap in supply line as shownin Figure 21. Locate sediment trap where itis within reach for cleaning. Locate sedi-ment trap where trapped matter is not likelyto freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture
and contaminants. This keeps them fromgoing into heater controls. If sediment trapis not installed or is installed wrong, heatermay not run properly.
IMPORTANT: Hold pressure regulatorwith wrench when connecting it to gas pip-ing and/or fittings.

l THERMOSTAT lCONTROL
OPERATION
The thermostatic control used on thisheater differs from standard thermostats.
Standard thermostats simply turn on andoff the burner. The thermostat used on
this heater senses the room temperature.The thermostat adjusts the amount of gasflow to the burner. This increases or de-
creases the burner flame height. At timesthe room may exceed the set tempera-ture. If so, the burner will shut off. Theburner will cycle back on when roomtemperature drops below the set tem-perature.
The control knob can be set to any heatlevel between HI and LO.
Note: The thermostat sensing bulb mea-sures the temperature of air near theheater cabinet. This may not always agreewith room temperature (depending onhousing construction, installation loca-tion, room size, open air temperatures,etc_). Frequent use of your heater will letyou determine your own comfort levels.
l MANUAL LIGHTINGPROCEDURE l
