These appliances are for: a) use with natural gas; b) use with propane; c) direct vent gas appliances for manufactured home (USA only) or mobile home OEM installation or aftermarket installation convertible for use with natural gas and propane gas when provision is made for the simple conversion from one gas to the other (see Clauses 4.1.22 and 4.1.23); d) direct vent gas appliances for manufactured home (USA only) or mobile home aftermarket installation for use with natural gas only or propane gas only (see Clause 4.1.23); and e) direct vent gas appliances for manufactured home (USA only) or mobile home OEM installation for use with propane gas only (see Clause 4.1.22). The construction of vented decorative gas appliances for use with the above mentioned gases is covered under Clause 4, Construction.

It is the responsibility of the user of this Standard to determine which referenced standard applies based on the requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for the location of installation. 1.6 This Standard also applies to appliances with draft hoods that are factory equipped with automatic vent damper devices (see Clause 3, Definitions), hereinafter referred to as vent damper devices. 1.7 All references to “psi” throughout this Standard are to be considered gauge pressure unless otherwise specified. 1.8 Special construction provisions applicable to vented decorative gas appliances designed for use with an optional design-certified conversion kit are outlined under Annex A, Provisions for listed gas appliance conversion kits (optional). 1.9 In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user shall satisfy in order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.
