All spaces in homes fall into one of the three
following ventilation classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW
FOR FIREPLACE 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
fireplace plus any adjoining rooms with door-
less passageways or ventilation grills between
the rooms.
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 6 through 8 will help
you classify your space and provide adequate
ventilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows
may provide enough fresh air for combustion
and ventilation. However, in buildings of un-
usually tight construction, you must provide
additional fresh air.
1. Determine the volume of the space (length
x width x height).
Length x Width x Height =__________cu. ft.
(volume of space)
Unusually tight construction is defined as
construction where:
Example: Space size 16 ft. (length) x 14 ft.
(width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 1792 cu. ft.
(volume of space)

side atmosphere have a continuous
water vapor retarder with a rating of one
perm (6 x 10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or less
with openings gasketed or sealed and

is supplied with grills or openings, add the
volume of these rooms to the total volume
of the space.

Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 defines a confined space as a space
whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per
1,000 Btu/hr (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/hr (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate
input rating of all appliances installed in that
space. Rooms communicating directly with the
space in which the appliances are installed*,
through openings not furnished with doors, are
considered a part of the unconfined space.
* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances.
Direct-vent draws combustion air from the
outdoors and vents to the outdoors.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See
Ventilation Air From Outdoors.
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr fireplace, if lower Btu/

Figure 5 - Ventilation Air from Inside
Building
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maxi-
mum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is
an unconfined space. You will need no additional
fresh air ventilation.
Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation
grills or ducts. You must provide two perma-
nent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling
and one within 12" of the floor. Connect these
items directly to the outdoors or spaces open
to the outdoors. These spaces include attics
and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: This appliance
requires a 45° male flare fitting
5/8"-18 UNF (Unified National
FineThread)inletconnectionand
the flexible gas line provided.
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve
in an accessible location. The equipment
shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off
the gas to the appliance.
Check your building codes for any special
requirements for locating equipment shutoff
valve to fireplaces.
WARNING: A qualified
service person must connect
fireplace to gas supply. Follow
all local codes.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT
threads. This will prevent excess sealant from
going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could
result in clogged fireplace valves.
WARNING: Never connect
natural gas fireplace to private
(non-utility) gas wells. This gas
is commonly known as wellhead
gas.
WARNING: Use pipe joint
sealant that is resistant to liquid
petroleum (LP) gas.
Propane/
LP Supply
IMPORTANT: For natural gas, check gas line
pressure before connecting fireplace to gas
line. Gas line pressure must be no greater
than 14" of water. If gas line pressure is higher,
heater regulator damage could occur.

We recommend that you install a sediment
trap in supply line as shown in Figure 14, page
13. Locate sediment trap where it is within
reach for cleaning. Install in piping system
between fuel supply and heater. Locate sedi-
ment trap where trapped matter is not likely
to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and
contaminants. This keeps them from going
into fireplace controls. If sediment trap is not
installed or is installed wrong, fireplace may
not run properly.

Note: When using the fireplace the first time,
the flame will be orange for approximately one

The primary air inlet holes allow the proper
amount of air to mix with the gas. This pro-
vides a clean burning flame. Keep these
holes clear of dust, dirt, lint and pet hair.
Clean these air inlet holes prior to each
