You will need no additionalfresh air ventilation.WARNING: If the area inwhich the heater may be oper-ated is smaller than that definedas an unconfined space or if thebuilding is of unusually tightconstruction, provide adequatecombustion and ventilation airby one of the methods describedin the National Fuel Gas Code,ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 Section 5.3or applicable local codes.VENTILATION AIRVentilation Air From Inside buildingThis fresh air would come from an adjoining un-confined space. When ventilating to an adjoiningunconfined space, you must provide two perma-nent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling andone within 12" of the floor on the wall connectingthe two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 4). Youcan also remove door into adjoining room (seeoption 3, Figure 4). Follow the National Fuel GasCode, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air forCombustion and Ventilation for required size ofventilation grills or ducts.Figure 4 - Ventilation Air from InsideBuilding Shown with Optional MantelOrRemoveDoor intoAdjoiningRoom,Option 3Ventilation GrillsInto Adjoining Room,Option 212"12"VentilationGrillsinto AdjoiningRoom,Option 1Figure 5 - Ventilation Air from OutdoorsShown with Optional MantelOutletAirVentilatedAtticOutletAirInletAirInlet Air VentilatedCrawl SpaceToCrawlSpaceTo AtticVentilation Air From OutdoorsProvide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills orducts.
