VENTULAT+ON LOUVERS OUTLET FIGURE 12+ When communicating with the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 2,000 BTU per hour (11 cm_/kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. See Figure 13. When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross° sectional area as the free area of the openings to which they connect. The minimum short side dimension of rectangular air ducts shall not be less than 3 inches (76.2 ram)+ See Figure 13+ OUTLET AmR DUCT Water Piping Water temperature over 125°F (52°C) can cause severe burns instantly resulting in severe injup] or death. Children, elderly, and the physically or mentally disabled are at highest risk for 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/mentally handicapped. If anyone using hotwaterin 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, shall 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 14. 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 thermostat, read the Temperature manual. the factory Regulation setting on the section in this INLET A_R DUCT FIGURE 13. Louvers and Grilles: In calculating free area, consideration shal! 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. +MIXING VALVE HOT WATER OUTLET ON WATER HEATER WATERHEATER FIGURE14.
