Alternatively a single permanent opening may be used when
communicating directly with the outdoors, or with spaces that
freely communicate with the outdoors. The opening shall
have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 3,000 BTU
per hour (8.3 cm2/kW) of total input rating of all equipment in
the enclosure. See Figure 14.

Louvers and Grilles: In calculating free area, consideration
shall be given to the blocking effect of louvers, grilles or
screens protecting openings. Screens used shall not be
smaller than 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) mesh. If the free area through
a design of louver or grille is known, it should be used in
calculating the size opening required to provide the free area
specified. If the design and free area is not known, it may be
assumed that wood louvers will be 20-25 percent free area
and metal louvers and grilles will have 60-75 percent free
area. Louvers and grilles shall be fixed in the open position
or interlocked with the equipment so that they are opened
automatically during equipment operation.
Special Conditions Created by Mechanical Exhausting or
Fireplaces: operation of exhaust fans, ventilation systems,
clothes dryers or fireplaces may create conditions requiring
special attention to avoid unsatisfactory operation of installed
gas utilization equipment.
Water Pi_
Water temperature over 125°F
(52°C) can cause severe burns
instantly resulting in severe injury
or death.
Children, elderly, and the
physically or mentally disabled
are at highest riskfor scald injury.
Feel water before bathing or
showering.
Temperature limiting valves are
available.
Read instruction manual for safe
temperature setting.
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD:
Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water
heated to a temperature which will satisfy space heating,
clothes washing, dish washing, cleaning and other sanitizing
needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact.
Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by
hot water than others. These include the elderly, children, the
infirm, or physically/mentaly handicapped. Ifanyone using hot
water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a
local code or state law requiring a certain temperature water
at the hot water tap, then you must take special precautions.
In addition to using the lowest possible temperature setting
that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a *mixing
valve, should be used at the hot water taps used by these
people or at the water heater. Mixing valves are available at
plumbing supply or hardware stores. See Figure 15. Valves
for reducing point of use temperature by mixing cold and hot
water are also available. Follow manufacturer's instructions
for installation of the valves. Before changing the factory
setting on the thermostat, read the Temperature Regulation
section in this manual.
