AIR FORCOMBUSTION ANDVENTILATION

_[_ WARNING: This heater shallnot be installed in a confinedspace unless provisions are pro-vided for adequate combustionand ventilation air. Read the fol-lowing instructions to insureproper fresh air for this and otherfuel-burning appliances in yourhome.

Today's homes are built more energy effi-cient than ever. New materials, increasedinsulation, and new construction methodshelp reduce heat loss in homes. Home own-ers weather strip and caulk around windowsand doors to keep the cold air out and thewarm air in. During heating months, homeowners want their homes as airtight as pos-sible.

While it is good to make your home energyefficient, your home needs to breathe. Freshair must enter your home. All fuel-burningappliances need fresh air for proper com-bustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, fu:eplaces, clothes dryers, andfuel burning appliances draw air from thehouse to operate. You must provide ad-equate fresh air for these appliances. Thiswill insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.

PROVIDING ADEQUATEVENTILATION

The following are excerpts from NationalFuel Gas Code. NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1,Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Venti-lation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the threefollowing ventilation classifications: 1. Un-usually Tight Contruction; 2. UnconfinedSpace; 3. Confined Space.

The information on pages 4 through 6 willhelp you classify your space and provideadequate ventilation.

Unusually Tight Construction

The air that leaks around doors and win-

dows may provide enough fresh air for com-bustion and ventilation. However, in build-ings of unusually tight construction, youmust provide additional fresh air.

Unusually tight construction isdefined as construction where:a.walls and ceilings exposed to the

outside atmosphere have acontinuous water vapor retarderwith a rating of one perm (6x10""per pa-sec-m 2) or less withopenings gnsketed or sealed and

b.weather stripping has been addedon openable windows and doorsand

e. caulking or sealants are applied toareas such as joints aroundwindow and door frames, betweensole plates and floors, betweenwall-ceillng joints, between wallpanels, at penetrations forplumbing, electrical, and gas fines,and at other openings.

If your home meets all of the three criteriaabove, you must provide additional freshair. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors,page 6.

If your home does not meet all of the threecriteria above, proceed to page 5.

Confined and Unconfined Space

The National Fuel Gas Code (ANSIZ223.1,1992 Section 5.3) defines a confined spaceas a space whose volume is less than 50cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3perkw) of the aggregate input rating of allappliances installed in that space and anunconfining space as a space whose volumeis not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuper hour (4.8 m3per kw) of the aggregateinput rating of all appliances installed in thatspace. Rooms communicating directly withthe space in which the appliances are in-stalled*, through openings not furnishedwith doors, are considered a part of theunconfined space.

* Adjoining rooms are communicating onlyif there are doorless passageways or ventila-tion grills between them.

_WARNING: If thearea inwhich

the heater may be operated issmaller than that defined as anunconfined space, provide ad-equate combustion and ventila-tion air by one of the methodsdescribed in the National FuelGas Code, ANSI Z223.1, 1992,Section 5.3.

DETERMINING AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION

Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space

Use this worksheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.

Space: Includes the room in which you wilt install heater plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills betweenthe 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 20ft. (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 ofthe 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.

Vent-free heater Btu/HrGas water heater* Btu/HrGas furnace Btu/Hr

Vented gas heater Btu/HrGas fireplace logs Btu/HrOther gas appliances* + Btu/HrTotal = Btu/Hr

Example: Gas water heater 40,000 Btu/HrVent-free heater + 33,000 Btu/Hr

Total = 73,000 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/I-Ir 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)

73,000 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 adjoiningroom 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 noadditional fresh air ventilation.

AIR FORCOMBUSTION ANDVENTILATIONContinued

VENTILATION AIR

Ventilation Air From InsideBuilding

This fresh air would come from an adjoiningunconfined space. When ventilating to anadjoining unconfined space, you must pro-vide two permanent openings: one within12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of thefloor on the wall connecting the two spaces(see options 1and 2, Figure 2). You can alsoremove door into adjoining room (see op-tion 3, Figure 2). Follow the National FuelGas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation forrequired size of ventilation grills or ducts.

_kWARNING:Rework work-

sheet, adding the space of theadjoining unconfined space. Thecombined spaces must haveenough fresh air to supply allappliances in both spaces.

Ventilation Air From Outdoors

Provide extra fresh air by using ventilationgrills or ducts. You must provide two per-manent openings: one within 12" of theceiling and one within 12" of the floor.Connect these items directly to the outdoorsor spaces open to the outdoors. These spacesinclude attics and crawl spaces.

IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings forinlet or outlet air into attic if attic has a

thermostat-controlled power vent. Heatedair entering the attic will activa_: the powervent.

3. Mark screw locations through holes infront of base. If installing in a brick-bottom fireplace, mark screw locations

in mortar joint of bricks.

4. Remove heater base from fireplace.

5. Drill holes at marked locations using3/16" drill bit. Drill at a 45 ° angle.

6. Attach base to fireplace floor usingmasonry screws in hardware

package (see Figure 12).

7. Connect to gas supply. See ConnectingTo Gas Supply below.

CONNECTING TO GASSUPPLY

NOTICE: A qualified service per-son must connect heater to gassupply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: Never connect

heater directly to the propane/LPsupply. This heater requires anexternal regulator (not supplied).Install the external regulator be-tween the heater and propane/LPsupply.

Installation Items Needed

Before installing heater, make sure you havethe items listed below.

• external regulator (supplied byinstaller, see page 12)

• piping (check local codes)• sealam (resistant to propane/LP gas)• manual shutoff valve *

• test gauge connection *• sediment trap• tee joint• pipe wrench

• An A.G.A. design-certified manual shutoffvalve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptablealternative to test gauge connection. Pur-chase the optional A.G.A. design-certifiedmanual shutoff valve from your dealer. SeeAccessories, page 25. Continued

103425 11


INSTALLINGContinued

The installer must supply an external regu-

lator. The external regulator will reduceincoming gas pressure. You must reduceincoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14

inches of water, ffyou do not reduce incom-ing gas pressure, heater regulator damagecould occur. Install external regulator withthe vent pointing down as shown in Figure

13. Pointing the vent down protects it fromfreezing rain or sleet.

_IL WARNING: Never connectheater to private (non-utility) gaswells. This gas is commonlyknown as wellhead gas.

_k CAUTION: Use only new,black iron or steel pipe. Inter-nally-tinned copper tubing maybe used in certain areas. Checkyour local codes. Use pipe of 1/2"diameter or greater to allowproper gas volume to heater. Ifpipe is too small, undue loss ofpressure will occur.

Installation must include a manual shutoff

valve, union, and plugged 118" NPT tap.Locate NPT tap within reach for test gaugehook up. NPT tap must be upstream fromheater (see Figure 14).

Apply pipe joint sealant lighdy to malethreads. This will prevent excess sealantfrom going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipecould result in clogged heater valves.

_k CAUTION: Use pipe joint seal-ant that is resistant to liquid pe-troleum (LP) gas.

Install sediment trap in supply line as shownin Figure 14. Locate sediment trap where itis within reach for cleaning. Locate sedi-ment trap where trapped matter is not likelyto freeze. A sediment trap traps moistureand contaminants. This keeps them fromgoing into heater controls. If sediment trapis not installed or is installed wrong, heatermay not run properly.

OPTIONALPOSITIONING OFTHERMOSTATSENSING BULB

For Masonry andFactory-built MetalFireplace

If your log set cycles to pilot, but theroom temperature drops to a lower thanideal comfort level before the log setcomes back on, you may want to reposi-tion the thermostat sensing bulb.

The thermostat sensing bulb is located onthe gas valve assembly. This location al-lows the thermostat to keep the room tem-perature at an ideal comfort level for most

fireplace applications. For positioning thethermostat sensing bulb elsewhere, an ad-

hesive-backed mounting clip has been pro-vided.

Tools needed: 5/16" hex driver or socket

1. Locate the gas valve assembly andthermostat sensing bulb (see Figure 29).

2. The adhesive-backed mounting clip(see Figure 30) is attached to thethermostat sensing bulb. Remove theadhesive-backed mounting clip.

3. With 5/16" hex driver or socket, loosenthe thermostat screw. Carefully slidethe thermostat sensing bulb out of theretaining clamp (see Figure 31).Note: Do not remove the screw. Make

sure you tighten the screw afterremoving the thermostat sensing bulb.

4.

IMPORTANT: Do not force or bend the

thermostat sensing bulb or capillary. Acrimped capillary will not allow ther-

mostat to operate properly. It cannot berepaired, the valve must be replaced.

The thermostat sensing bulb may belocated to the lower right front side offireplace. Determine location of sens-ing bulb, but do not mount sensing bulbuntil step 5. If you have a masonryfireplace, see Figure 32 for location.

SERVICE HINTSWhen gas pressure is too low

• pilot will not stay lit• burners will have delayed ignition

• heater will not produce specifiedheat

• propaneFLP gas supply may be low

When gas quality is bad

• pilot will not stay lit•bumers will produce flames and

soot• heater will backfire when lit

You may feel your gas pressure is too low orgas quality is bad. If so, contact your localpropane/LP gas supplier.

If you have a factory-built metal fireplace,see Figure 33 for location.

If your fireplace has glass doors, positionsensing bulb directly behind door gap onright bottom side (see Figure 34).

5. The mounting clip must be a minimumof 3" from bottom of fireplace toprevent crimping of capillary. Once youhave decided on a location, clean thearea thoroughly. Remove the paperbacking from the adhesive on back ofmounting clip. Press the clip into thenew location so that the thermostat

sensing bulb will be positionedvertically with the capillary at thebottom (see Figure 35). Slide thethermostat sensing bulb into the clip.IMPORTANT."Do not crimp capillary.
