HOME

NOTE: See section VIII for “Producing Adequate Air For Combustion And Ventilation” See Page 28.

THIS APPLIANCE MAY BE INSTALLED IN AN AFTERMARKET, PERMANENTLY LOCATED, MANUFACTURE HOME, WHERE NOT PROHIBITED BY LOCAL CODES. (After Market: Completion of sale, not for purpose of resale from manufacturer.)

For mobile home installation instruction follow instructions provided in this manual completely

THIS APPLIANCE IS ONLY FOR USE WITH THE TYPE OF GAS INDICATED ON RATING PLATE. THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT CONVERTIBLE FOR USE WITH OTHER GASES.

PRODUCING ADEQUATE AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

This section is for residential or permanently located manufactured home installation
This heater shall not be installed in unusually tight construction or unconfined space unless provisions are adequate for combustion and ventilation air.

NOTE: This heater shall not be installed in a room or space unless required volume of indoor combustion air is provided by method in National Fuel Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54, International Fuel Gas Code or applicable codes.
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines unusually tight construction or unconfined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m 3 per kw) of 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 (4.8m 3 per kw) of aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.

WARNING: IF AREA IN WHICH HEATER MAY BE OPERATED DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIRED VOLUME FOR INDOOR COMBUSTION AIR, COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR SHALL BE PROVIDED BY ONE OF METHODS DESCRIBED IN NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, INTERNATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE OR APPLICABLE CODES.

WARNING: IF AREA IN WHICH HEATER MAY BE OPERATED IS SMALLER THAN THAT DEFINED AS AN UNCONFINED SPACE OR IF BUILDING IS OF UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION, PROVIDE ADEQUATE AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION BY ONE OF METHODS DESCRIBED IN NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION OR APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES.
Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where: a) Walls and ceilings exposed to outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of 1 perm (6 x 10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed;
b) Weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors.
c) Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical and gas lines and at other openings.

NOTE: SOME AREAS IN UNITED STATES HAVE HIGHER REQUIREMENTS FOR CUBIC FEET PER 1000 BTU/ HOUR INPUT. (EX. CINCINNATI, OHIO CODES REQUIRE 70 CUBIC FEET). CHECK YOUR LOCAL CODE BEFORE INSTALLATION.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION

DETERMINE IF YOU HAVE UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION OR UNCONFINED SPACE
Use this worksheet to determine if you have unusually tight construction or unconfined space.
SPACE: Includes room in which you will install heater plus adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.

1. Determine the volume of space (length x width x height). Length x Width x Height =cu.ft.(volume of space) EXAMPLE: 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 volume of these rooms to t total volume of space.
2. Divide space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine maximum BTU/Hr space can support.
(volume of space)/50 cu. ft. =maximum BTU/Hr space can support) EXAMPLE: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space /50 cu. Ft .= 51.2 or 51200 (maximum BTU/Hr space can support)
3. Add BTU/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in space.

PFS 329 Solid Fuel Burning Fireplace Instruction Manual - Add
BTU

4. Compare the maximum BTU/Hr space can support with actual amount of BTU/Hr used.
____BTU/Hr (maximum space can support)
____BTU/Hr (actual amount of BTU/Hr used)
Example: 51200 BTU/Hr (maximum the space can support) 58000 BTU/Hr (actual amount of BTU/Hr used) The space in above example is a unusually tight construction because actual BTU/Hr used is more than maximum BTU/Hr space can support. You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows: A. Rework worksheet, adding space of an adjoining room.
If extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See “Ventilation Air From Inside Building”, page 34.
B. Vent room directly to outdoors. See “Ventilation Air From Outdoors”, page 35.
C. Install a lower BTU/Hr heater, if lower BTU/Hr size makes room unconfined.

If actual BTU/Hr used is less than maximum BTU/Hr space can support, space is an unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

WARNING: YOU MUST PROVIDE ADDITIONAL VENTILATION AIR IN A UNUSU- ALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION INSIDE BUILDING

This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When venting to an adjoining space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12″ of the ceiling and one within 12″ of floor on wall connecting two spaces. (See Options 1 and 2, Figure 17.) You can also remove door into adjoining room. (See Option 3, Figure 17.)

WARNING
REWORK WORKSHEET, ADDING SPACE OF ADJOINING UNCONFINED SPACE. COMBINED SPACES MUST HAVE ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF AIR TO SUPPLY ALL APPLIANCES IN BOTH SPACES.

NOTE: Each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 1000 BTU’s per hour of total input ratings of all gas utilization equipment in confined space, but not less than 100 square inches.
PFS 329 Solid Fuel Burning Fireplace Instruction Manual - Figure
17

⚠ WARNING
THIS HEATER MUST HAVE ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF AIR FOR PROPER OPERATION. IF NOT, POOR FUEL COMBUSTION COULD RESULT. READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE PROPER AMOUNT OF AIR FOR THIS AND OTHER FUEL-BURNING APPLIANCES IN YOUR HOME.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION OUTDOORS

Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must provide two permanent openings: one within 12″ of ceiling and one within 12″ of floor. Connect these items directly to outdoors. These spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, “Air For Combustion and Ventilation” for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.

IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat-controlled power vent. Heated air entering the attic will activate power unit.
