Combustion Air Systems CAS-4Jr.™

CAS-4 Jr.

CAS-3 (Oil) and CAS-4 (Gas)

These models are designed to provide combustion air for appliances when direct connection to the burner is not possible (when the appliance is located in a confined space). According to NFPA 54 and NFPA 31, an engineered system such as a CAS-3, 4, 6 or 7 may be used to overcome the lack of air in a confined space. The CAS-3 is designed for use with oil appliances. The CAS-4 is for use with gas appliances with 24 VAC gas valve controls. The CAS-4MV is for use with 750mV power pile gas appliances. Each is designed for optimum safety and includes a proving device that won’t allow the burner to engage without the Fan-in-a-Can® operating. Multiple units or additional controls are required for multiple appliance installations. Each is equipped with a two speed control for enhanced versatility.

How the CAS-3 and CAS-4 work

When the thermostat calls for heat, the Fan-in-a-Can® engages and begins drawing air into the structure. When air flow is established, the pressure switch closes. The CAS sends a signal to the appliance, allowing the burner to fire. The Fan-in-a-Can® diffuses the outside air into the room near the burner to ensure adequate air for efficient combustion.
