VENTED NATURAL GAS LOGS  
Confined and Unconfined Space  
PROVIDING ADEQUATE  
VENTILATION  
AIR FOR  
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.1  
defines a confined space as a space whose  
volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000  
Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggre-  
gate input rating of all appliances installed  
in that space and an unconfined space as a  
space whose volume is not less than 50  
cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per  
kw) of the aggregate input rating of all  
appliances installed in that space. Rooms  
communicating directly with the space in  
whichtheappliancesareinstalled*,through  
openings not furnished with doors, are con-  
sidered a part of the unconfined space.  
COMBUSTION AND  
The following are excerpts from National  
Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANS Z223.1, Sec-  
tion5.3, AirforCombustionandVentilation.  
VENTILATION  
WARNING: This appliance  
shall not be installed in a con-  
fined space or unusually tight  
construction unless provisions  
are provided for adequate com-  
bustion and ventilation air. Read  
the following instructions to in-  
sure proper fresh air for this and  
other fuel-burning appliances in  
your home.  
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three  
following ventilation classifications:  
1. Unusually Tight Construction  
2. Unconfined Space  
3. Confined Space  
The information on pages 4 through 6 will  
help you classify your space and provide  
adequate ventilation.  
This log set shall not be installed in a con-  
fined space or unusually tight construction  
unless provisions are provided for adequate  
combustion and ventilation air.  
Unusually Tight Construction

cient than ever. New materials, increased The air that leaks around doors and win-

* Adjoining rooms are communicating only  
iftherearedoorlesspassagewaysorventila-  
tion grills between them.  
While it is good to make your home energy  
efficient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh  
air must enter your home. All fuel-burning  
appliances need fresh air for proper com-  
bustion and ventilation.  
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the  
outside atmosphere have a con-  
tinuous water vapor retarder with  
a rating of one perm (6x10-11 kg  
per pa-sec-m2) or less with open-  
ings gasketed or sealed and  
Exhaustfans, fireplaces, clothesdryers, and  
fuel burning appliances draw air from the  
house to operate. You must provide ad-  
equate fresh air for these appliances. This  
will insure proper venting of vented fuel-  
burning appliances.  
b. weather stripping has been  
added on openable windows and  
doors and  
c. caulking or sealants are applied  
to areas such as joints around  
window and door frames, be-  
tween sole plates and floors, be-  
tween wall-ceiling joints, be-  
tween wall panels, at penetra-  
tions for plumbing, electrical, and  
gas lines, and at other openings.  
If your home meets all of the three  
criteria above, you must provide ad-  
ditional fresh air. See Ventilation Air  
From Outdoors, page 6.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR APPLIANCE LOCATION  
Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space  
Use this work sheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.  
Space: Includes the room in which you will install appliance plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills  
between the rooms.  
1. 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/Hr 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.

Gas fireplace logs + 55,000 Btu/Hr  
Total 95,000 Btu/Hr  
40,000 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/Hr used)  
Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)  
95,000 Btu/Hr (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 worksheet, 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 6.  
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 6.  
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 no  
additional fresh air ventilation.  
WARNING: If the area in which the appliance may be operated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined  
spaceorifthebuildingisofunusuallytightconstruction, provideadequatecombustionandventilationairbyone  
of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.1, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.

may need to be pressed in for 30 sec-  
onds. This will allow air to bleed from  
the gas system.  
To ensure proper curing of the logs:  
• Ignite a 2" flame and maintain it for 1  
hour.
