Can a gas log set be installed in sleeping quarters?

  1. A. Yes, if proper air supply is added

  2. B. Yes, if the venting is oversized

  3. C. Yes, if approved by the manufacturer

  4. D. Yes, only if it's a bed sitting room

The correct answer is: C. Yes, if approved by the manufacturer

The correct answer is based on the guidelines set by manufacturers and local codes regarding the installation of gas appliances, particularly gas log sets, in sleeping quarters. Manufacturers often have specific recommendations and safety standards that dictate where their products can safely be installed. Approval by the manufacturer is crucial because they base their guidelines on extensive testing and adherence to safety protocols. For a gas log set to be installed in sleeping quarters, it must meet the manufacturer's standards to ensure it operates safely without posing a carbon monoxide risk or risk of fire. It's essential to follow these specifications to protect occupants and ensure proper air supply, venting, and placement of the appliance. In contrast, other choices suggest solutions that may not sufficiently address safety concerns. Merely adding an air supply or oversized venting does not guarantee compliance with safety standards or the manufacturer's guidelines. Additionally, the suggestion of a bed sitting room does not inherently make the installation safe without proper manufacturer approval. Thus, reliance on the manufacturer's approval is the most reliable way to ensure safety in these circumstances.
