ROOM VOLUME for VENT FREE

The following formula can be used to determine the maximum heater rating (per the denition of unconned space) that is al-
lowed in your space:
Maximum BTU/Hr. = x 1000
Example A: Consider two connecting rooms with an open area between, with the following dimensions: L1 = 15½ ft., L2 = 12 ft., W
= 12 ft., H = 8 ft.
x 1000 = 52,800 BTU/Hr.
Example B: If there were a door between the two rooms the calculation would be based only on the room with the heater.
x 1000 = 29,760 BTU/Hr.

Bringing in Outside (or “Make-up”) Air
Many building code jurisdictions require that outside or “make-up” air be provided when installing a replace of this type. This
requirement can be satised by the proper installation of an ‘outside air kit’ which is not provided. The nal determination of the
suitability of any particular kit must be made by the installer.
If an outside air supply is desired it should be added to the room in which the H Series Vent Free Gas Fireplace is installed, not to
the chase enclosing the replace.
If outside air is introduced into the chase, competing air pressures could compromise the operation of the replace.
