Confined and Unconfined Space  
PROVIDING ADEQUATE  
VENTILATION  
AIR FOR  
The National Fuel Gas Code (ANS Z223.1,  
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.  
COMBUSTION AND  
VENTILATION  
The following are excerpts from National  
Fuel Gas Code. NFPA 54/ANS Z223.1, Sec-  
tion 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventila-  
tion.  
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.  
Today’s homes are built more energy effi-  
cient than ever. New materials, increased

While it is good to make your home energy fined as construction where:  
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

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.

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 cansupport.  
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, 1992, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.

Propane/LP Gas Conversion  
To convert to propane/LP gas, the burner  
inlet fitting and pilot orifice must be re-  
placed.Thepropane/LPburnerinletfittingis  
supplied with the orifice installed for a 24"  
log set. If you have an 18" or 30" set, you  
must change this orifice also. See Figure 1,  
page 3 for product identification.

Thermocouple and Line  
The pilot is provided with a natural gas  
orifice installed. For propane/LP gas you  
must remove it and replace it with an pro-  
pane/LP orifice. The hardware kit contains  
an propane/LP orifice with a red stripe for  
converting the pilot.

TESTING BURNER FOR  
LEAKS  
1. Generously apply soapy solution to all  
connections.  
3. Place the back log on the grate onto the  
grate steps (see Figure 19). If assembling  
Oxford Oak models, place log on the  
back of the grate bars (see Figure 19).  
Amherst Oak Logs  
4. Place the front log(s) on the grate and  
slide forward against the front bars on  
the grate (see Figure 19).  
WARNING: Never check for  
gas leaks with open flame.  
5. Place the smaller top logs onto the bot-  
tom logs (see Figure 20). Leave as  
much open space between logs as pos-  
sible to minimize flame impingement  
and sooting. Note: Logs may chip if  
they are handled roughly or if hit to-  
gether while being placed.  
2. Light the burner with the shut-off valve  
no more than half open and holding a  
match slightly in front of the pan (see  
Lighting Instructions, page 12).  
3. Inspect all connections for bubbles, raw  
gas odor, or flame from any area other  
than the burner (leaks). If leaks are de-  
tected, shut off the gas valve immedi-  
ately. Tighten, or reassemble the loose  
connection(s) using pipe joint com-  
pound until burner system is leak free.

(Number and style of your logs may vary)  
4. When the burner is tested and leak free,  
observe the individual tongues of flame  
on the burner. Note: The burner design  
includes more ports on the outside of the  
bar. Make sure that all ports are clear  
and producing flame evenly across the  
burner. If any ports appear blocked, clear  
them by removing the burner manifold  
and reaming the ports with a modified  
paper clip or other suitable tool.

CURING LOGS  
6. With control knob pressed in, push  
down and release ignitor button. This  
will light pilot. The pilot is attached  
to the rear of the front burner. If  
needed, keep pressing ignitor button  
until pilot lights.  
During the 2-3 hour appliance break-in  
period, you may detect an odor from the  
appliance as the various paints and com-  
pounds used in the manufacturing of this  
log set cure. This is a normal and tempo-  
rary situation that is not cause for alarm.  
However, you may want to provide extra  
ventilation to the room during this time.  
To ensure proper curing of the logs:  
• Ignite a 2" flame and maintain it for 1  
hour.  
• Burn the logs in consecutive 1 hour pe-  
riods raising the flame an additional  
2" to full flame height for a total of  
three hours.  
BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around  
the appliance area for gas. Be sure to  
smell next to the floor because some gas is  
heavier than air and will settle on the  
floor.  
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.  
7. Keep control knob pressed in for 30  
seconds after lighting pilot. After 30  
seconds, release control knob.  
Note: If pilot goes out, repeat steps  
3 through 7.  
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS  
• Do not try to light any appliance.  
• Do not touch any electric switch; do  
not use any phone in your building.  
• Immediately call your gas supplier  
from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the  
gas supplier’s instructions.  
8. Turn control knob counterclockwise  
to the ON position. Burner  
should light. If burner does not light,  
call a qualified service person.  
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier,  
call the fire department.
