If the PVI-SLP is being installed in a confi ned space (such
as a utility closet, mechanical room or attic space) with
a total volume less than 250 cubic feet, an access hole
with minimum dimensions of 8 inches by 16 inches will be
required directly in front of the access panel. The recom-
mended access hole size is 12 inches by 17 inches. This
size will allow full access to the 11 inch x 16 inch cover
on the PVI-SLP. The confi ned space where the PVI is
installed, and the space to which the access hole opens,
must add up to at least 250 cubic feet. This hole may be
covered with a decorative cover as long as the cover has a
minimum of 30% open air. If the PVI-SLP is being installed
in a space greater than 250 cubic feet the minimum size
access hole is still required, but a solid cover may be used.
This also applies to a fi replace chase. See Figure 3.2.
If the PVI-SLP is being installed in a space greater than 250
cubic feet, the minimum size access hole is still required,
but a solid cover may be used.
The access panel opening must be located such that ac-
cess for service and adjustment is available. The NEC
requires a minimum of 30 inches of space around the
opening and 36 inches in front of the opening to the ac-
cess panel. Consult offi cials having jurisdiction regarding
regional requirements.
