Unusually Tight Construction  
Confined Space and Unconfined  
Space  
AIR FOR  
The air that leaks around doors and win-  
dows may provide enough fresh air for  
combustion and ventilation. However, in  
buildings of unusually tight construction,  
you must provide additional fresh air.  
COMBUSTION AND  
VENTILATION  
TheNationalFuelGasCode(ANSIZ2123.1,  
1992 Section 5.3) 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 aggregate 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  
inputratingofallappliancesinstalledinthat  
space. Rooms communicating directly with  
the space in which the appliances are in-  
stalled*, through openings not furnished  
with doors, are considered a part of the  
unconfined space.  
WARNING: This heater shall  
notbeinstalledinaconfinedspace  
or unusually tight construction  
unless provisions are provided  
foradequatecombustionandven-  
tilation air. Read the following in-  
structions to insure proper fresh  
air for this and other fuel-burning  
appliances in your home.  
Unusually tight construction is de-  
fined as construction where:  
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the  
outside atmosphere have a con-  
tinuous water vapor retarder with  
a rating of one perm (6 x 10-11 kg  
per pa-sec-m2) or less with open-  
ings gasketed or sealed and  
b. weather stripping has been  
added on openable windows and  
doors and  
Today’s homes are built more energy effi-  
cient than ever. New materials, increased  
insulation, and new construction methods  
helpreduceheatlossinhomes.Homeowners  
weather strip and caulk around windows and  
doorstokeepthecoldairoutandthewarmair  
in. During heating months, home owners  
want their homes as airtight as possible.  
This heater shall not be installed in a con-  
fined space or unusually tight construction  
unless provisions are provided for adequate  
combustion and ventilation air.  
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.  
* 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.  
If your home meets all of the three  
criteria above, you must provide ad-  
ditional fresh air. See Ventilation Air  
From Outdoors, page 6.  
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.  
If your home does not meet all of the  
three criteria above, proceed to De-  
termining Fresh-Air Flow For Heater  
Location, page 5.

ThefollowingisexerptsfromNationalFuel  
Gas Code. NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section  
5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.  
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three  
following ventilation classifications:  
1. Unusually Tight Contruction  
2. Unconfined Space  
3. Confined Space  
The information on pages 4 through 6 will  
help you classify your space and provide

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER 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:Includestheroominwhichyouwillinstallheaterplusanyadjoiningroomswithdoorlesspassagewaysorventilationgrillsbetween  
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.

* 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)  
79,000 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 heater may be operated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space  
or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of  
the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, 1992, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.

alternative to test gauge connection. Pur-  
chase the optional A.G.A. design-certified  
manual shutoff valve from your dealer. See  
Accessories, page 21.  
Fitting  
WARNING: If installing in a  
sunken fireplace, special care is  
needed. You must raise the fire-  
place floor to allow access to  
heater control panel. This will in-  
sure adequate air flow and guard  
against sooting. Raise fireplace  
floor with non-combustible mate-  
rial. Make sure material is secure.  
The installer must supply an external regu-  
lator. The external regulator will reduce  
incoming gas pressure. You must reduce  
incominggaspressuretobetween11and14  
inches of water. If you do not reduce incom-  
ing gas pressure, heater regulator damage  
could occur. Install external regulator with  
the vent pointing down as shown in Figure  
12. Pointing the vent down protects it from  
freezing rain or sleet.

in Figure 13. Locate sediment trap where it  
is within reach for cleaning. Locate sedi-  
ment trap where trapped matter is not likely  
to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture  
and contaminants. This keeps them from  
going into heater controls. If sediment trap  
is not installed or is installed wrong, heater  
may not run properly.  
INSTALLATION  
CAUTION: Make sure exter-  
nal regulator has been installed  
between propane supply and  
heater.SeeguidelinesunderCon-  
necting to Gas Supply, page 10.  
Continued  
CAUTION: Use only new,  
black iron or steel pipe. Inter-  
nally-tinned copper tubing may  
be used in certain areas. Check  
yourlocalcodes. Usepipeof1/2"  
diameter or greater to allow  
proper gas volume to heater. If  
pipe is too small, undue loss of  
pressure will occur.

operate their heater with the chimney  
damper closed. This will put all the heat  
into the room. However there may be  
times you will desire the full flames of the  
Hiheatsettingbutwillfindtheheatoutput  
excessive. You can open the chimney  
damper (if you have one) fully or partially  
to release some of the heat.  
Note: If pilot does not stay lit, con-  
tact a qualified service person or gas  
supplier for repairs. Until repairs are  
made, light pilot with match. To light  
pilot with match, see Manual Light-  
ing Procedure on page 16.  
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn  
the gas control knob. Never use tools.  
If the knob will not push in or turn  
by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a  
qualified service technician or gas  
supplier. Force or attempted repair  
may result in a fire or explosion.  
WARNING: Damper handle  
will be hot if heater has been  
running.  
8. Keep control knob pressed in for 30  
seconds after lighting pilot. After 30  
seconds, release control knob.  
• If control knob does not pop out  
when released, contact a qualified
