Page 6 Confined Sp ace A confined space is an area with a volume less than 50 cu- bic feet (1.42 m 3 ) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the combined input rating of all appliances installed in that space. This definition includes furnace closets or small equipment rooms.
Page 7 EQUIPMENT IN CONFINED SP ACE ALL AIR FROM OUTSIDE (Inlet Air from Crawlspace and Outlet Air to V entilated Attic) NOTE−The inlet and outlet air openings shall each have a free area of at least one square inch (645 mm 2 ) per 4,000 Btu (1.17 kW) per hour of the tot al input rating of all equipment in the enclosure.
Page 8 Downflow Installation Downflow unit installs in three ways: on non−combustible flooring, on combustible flooring using a downflow com- bustible flooring base, or on a reverse−flow cooling cabinet.

Page 13 Never connect a Category I appliance to a chimney that is servicing a solid−fuel appliance. If a fireplace chimney flue is used to vent this appliance, the fireplace opening must be permanently sealed.
Page 14 19 − I n no case, shall the vent connector be sized more than two consecutive table size diameters over the size of the draft hood outlet or flue collar outlet. 20 − Do not install a manual damper , barometric draft regu- lator or flue restrictor between the furnace and the chimney .
