  NOTICE: 
Clearance to venting is for single wall 
vent pipe. If Type L vent is used, clearance may 
be reduced to the minimum required by the vent 
pipe manufacturer.
C.  PROVIDE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION 
AIR. Local and National Codes may apply and 
should be referenced.
  WARNING
 Adequate combustion and ventilation air must 
be provided to assure proper combustion and 
to maintain safe ambient air temperatures. 
Do not install boiler where gasoline or other 
flammable vapors or liquids, or sources of 
hydrocarbons (i.e. bleaches, fabric softeners, 
etc.) are used or stored.
1.  Determine volume of space (boiler room). 
Rooms communicating directly with the 
space in which the appliances are installed, 
through openings not furnished with doors, are 
considered a part of the space.
 Volume(ft
3
) = Length(ft) x Width(ft) x Height(ft)
2.  Determine total input of all appliances in the 
space.
  Add inputs of all appliances in the space and 
round the result to the nearest 1000 BTU per 
hour.
3.  Determine type of space. Divide Volume by 
total input of all appliances in space. If the 
result is greater than or equal to 50 ft
3
/1000 
BTU per hour, then it is considered an 
unconfined space. If the result is less than 
50 ft
3
/1000 BTU per hour then the space is 
considered a confined space. 
4.  For boiler located in an unconfined space of a 
conventionally constructed building, the fresh 
air infiltration through cracks around windows 
and doors normally provides adequate air for 
combustion and ventilation.
5.  For boiler located in a confined space or an 
unconfined space in a building of unusually 
tight construction, provide outdoor air. 
a. Outdoor air for combustion may be 
provided with an optional Fresh Air 
Accessory Kit (ONLY AVAILABLE WITH 
BECKETT BURNER).Plastic cover 
applications, P/N 102119-01. Refer to Fresh 
Air Accessory Kit instructions for installation 
and air intake piping details. 
or
b. Outdoor air may be provided with the 
use of two permanent openings which 
communicate directly or by duct with the 
outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) freely 
communicating with the outdoors. Locate 
remaining opening within 12 inches of 
bottom of space. Minimum dimension of air 
opening is 3 inches. Size each opening per 
following:
