Vented Gas Fireplace Heaters
Also Known As:
The construction and operation of vented gas fireplace heaters are governed by the CSA/ANSI Z21.88:19 and CSA 2.33:19 standards. This standard is applicable to newly manufactured appliances with input ratings up to and including 400,000 Btu/hr that are made of brand-new, unused parts and materials. Natural gas, propane, and, in some circumstances, other gases can be converted for use with the equipment defined by this standard.
Direct-vent appliances for manufactured houses, mobile homes, and recreational vehicles are included in the standard's list of covered appliances. It also outlines the construction specifications, which include guidelines for vented gas fireplace heaters with air conditioners. These appliances' performance is also examined to make sure it complies with the appropriate efficiency and safety criteria.
The standard offers particular guidelines for vented condensing gas fireplace heaters in addition to the general standards. It also offers instructions for the installation of extra features, including on-demand and automatic intermittent pilot ignition systems.
The standard also includes clauses that are particular to the United States and Canada, reflecting the demands and rules of each nation. It applies to appliances with draft hoods that have automatic vent dampers built in from the factory. Also described are special building requirements for appliances made to work with optional conversion kits.
