(a) For use with natural gas;
(b) For use with propane;
(c) Direct vent appliances for manufactured (mobile) home OEM installation or aftermarket installation convertible for use with natural gas and propane when provision is made for simple conversion from one gas to the other. (See 1.2.4-a);
(d) Direct vent appliances for manufactured (mobile) home aftermarket installation only for use with natural gas and propane. (See 1.2.4-b);
(e) Direct vent appliances for recreational vehicle installation for use with propane gases only. (See 1.2.4-c); and
(f) Direct vent appliances for recreational vehicle installation only convertible for use with natural gas and propane gases when provision is made for the simple conversion from one gas to the other. (See 1.2.4-c)
The construction of vented gas fireplace heaters and vented gas fireplace heaters with cooling units for use with the above-mentioned gases is covered under Part I (Construction).
The performance of vented gas fireplace heaters and vented gas fireplace heaters with cooling units for use with the above-mentioned gases is covered under Part II (Performance).
1.1.2
Exhibit A, (Automatic Intermittent Pilot Ignition Systems for Field Installation), includes provisions for newly produced (optional) automatic intermittent pilot ignition systems (See Part IV, Definitions), constructed entirely of new, unused parts and materials, to be adapted in the field to an appliance equipped with an existing continuous pilot burner and which has been examined and tested for compliance with this standard when installed on the appliance.
1.1.3
If a value for measurement given in this standard is followed by an equivalent value in other units, the first stated value is to be regarded as the specification.
