age or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other

deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

windows and all doors between the space in which

the appliances remaining connected to the common

venting system are located and other spaces of the

building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance

not connected to the common venting system. Turn

on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and

bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maxi-

mum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.

Close fireplace dampers.

(d) Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance

being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so

appliance will operate continuously.

(e) Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after

5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of

a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar,

or pipe.

(f) After it has been determined that each appliance

remaining connected to the common venting system

properly vents when tested as outlined above, return

doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers

and any other gas burning appliance to their previ-

ous conditions of use.

(g) If improper venting is observed during any of the

above tests, the common venting system must be

corrected in accordance with the latest edition of the

National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.

If resizing any portion of the common venting system, use

the appropriate table in Appendix G in the latest edition of

the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.

THERMOSTAT LOCATION

Locate the thermostat in an area having good air circula-

tion, about 5 feet high on a vibration-free inside wall.

Do not install the thermostat where it may be affected by:

• drafts or dead spots behind door, in corners or under

cabinets.

• hot or cold air from ducts.

• radiant heat from sun or appliances.

• concealed pipes and chimneys.

• unheated (uncooled) areas behind the thermostat,

such as an outside wall.

Consult the instructions packaged with the thermostat for

mounting instructions. See Section IX for wiring and

adjustments to thermostat.

III. Air Requirements

WARNING

Possible death, personal injury or property

damage may occur if the furnace and other

fuel-burning appliances are not provided

with enough fresh air for proper combustion

and ventilation of flue gases. Most homes

require outside air to be supplied into the

furnace area.

Improved construction and additional insulation in build-

ings has reduced the heat loss, making these buildings

much tighter around doors and windows so air infiltration

is minimal. This creates a problem supplying combustion

and ventilation air for gas fired and other fuel burning

appliances. Use of appliances pulling air out of the house

(clothes dryers, exhaust fans, fireplaces, etc.) increases

this problem causing appliances to starve for air.

Most homes will require outside air be supplied to the

furnace area by means of ventilation grilles or ducts

connecting directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the

outdoors such as attics or crawl spaces.

The following information on air for combustion and

ventilation is reproduced from the National Fuel Gas

Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3.

5.3.1 General:

(a) The provisions of 5.3 apply to gas utilization equip-

ment installed in buildings and which require air for

combustion, ventilation and dilution of flue gases

from within the building. They do not apply to (1)

direct vent equipment which is constructed and in-

stalled so that all air combustion is obtained from the

outside atmosphere and all flue gases are discharged

to the outside atmosphere, or (2) enclosed furnaces

which incorporate an integral total enclosure and use

only outside air for combustion and dilution of flue

gases.

(b) Equipment shall be installed in a location in which

the facilities for ventilation permit satisfactory com-

bustion of gas, proper venting and the maintenance

of ambient temperature at safe limits under normal

conditions of use. Equipment shall be located so as

not to interfere with proper circulation of air. When

normal infiltration does not provide the necessary

air, outside air shall be introduced.

shall be provided as required for: cooling of equip-

ment or material, controlling dew point, heating,

drying, oxidation or dilution, safety exhaust, odor

control, and air for compressors.

(d) In addition to air needed for combustion, air shall be

supplied for ventilation, including all air required for

comfort and proper working conditions for person-

nel.

(e) While all forms of building construction cannot be

covered in detail, air for combustion, ventilation and

dilution of flue gases for gas utilization equipment

vented by natural draft normally may be obtained by

application of one of the methods covered in 5.3.3

and 5.3.4.

(f) Air requirements for the operation of exhaust fans,

kitchen ventilation systems, clothes dryers, and fire-

places shall be considered in determining the ad-

equacy of a space to provide combustion air require-

ments.

5.3.2 Equipment Located in Unconfined Spaces: In

unconfined spaces (see definition below) in buildings,

infiltration may be adequate to provide air for combus-
