The filter housing isnot designed to support the air duct.TruSeal™ Combustion AirIn certain applications it may be necessary to utilizethe TruSeal option (sales order option D-21 or D-22)and duct the combustion air directly to the blower.Combustion air may be ducted directly to the heater byusing PVC, CPVC or sealed single-wall galvanizedducting. The duct will attach directly to the air collar lo-cated on the side of the heater, using three or foursheet metal screws (not supplied) equally positionedaround the circumference of the duct. The screws andduct connection point must be sealed with RTV (notsupplied). An in-line intake air filter kit (sales orderoption D-17) must be installed in the combustion airduct. TruSeal is generally used when damaging con-taminants are present in the mechanical room.TruSeal heater connection points are available as fol-lows:992B to 1802B Left side – standardRight side – optional2002B to 2342B Right side onlyConventional Combustion AirSupplyU.S. InstallationsAll Air from Inside the BuildingThe confined space shall be provided with TWO per-manent openings communicating directly with anadditional room(s) of sufficient volume so that the com-bined volume of all spaces meets the criteria for aroom large in comparison (NFGC).

Each opening shall have a minimum free area of1 in. 2 per 1,000 BTUH (2,225 mm 2 per kW) of the totalinput rating of all gas utilization equipment in the con-fined space, but not less than 100 in. 2 (645 cm 2 ). Oneopening shall commence within 12 in. (305 mm) of thetop, and one opening shall commence within 12 in.(305 mm) of the bottom of the enclosure. The mini-mum dimension of air openings shall be not less than3 in.
