OPTION
A single combustion air opening can be used for cases B, C or D above, sized as
listed, provided that:
s The single opening must communicate directly to the outdoors or to a space that
communicates directly with outdoors (NOT to an interior space).
s The top of the opening must be within 12 inches of the ceiling.
s The free area of the opening must be at least equal to the sum of the areas of all
equipment vent connectors in the space.

NO combustion air openings are needed when the boiler (and other appliances) are
installed in a space with a volume NO LESS than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh of all ap-
pliances in the space. That is, total the input of all appliances in MBH (1,000’s of Btuh),
then multiply this total times 50. The building MUST NOT be of tight construction.
Example: For a total input of 500 MBH (500,000 Btuh), the minimum volume would be
50 x 500 = 25,000 cubic feet (3,125 square feet if ceiling height is 8 feet).
