A surface combustion infrared heater requires:

No vent
A class "B" vent
A class "BW" vent
A class "C" vent

The correct answer is: No vent

A surface combustion infrared heater is designed to operate without the need for a venting system. This is because the combustion process occurs at the surface of the heater, which allows for the efficient use of fuel without producing significant amounts of harmful by-products or gases that require venting to the outdoors. The heater efficiently radiates heat directly from its surface, and the combustion air is typically drawn from the environment around it, making traditional venting unnecessary. This characteristic distinguishes surface combustion infrared heaters from other types of heaters that may produce exhaust gases requiring a venting system to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. Therefore, it is accurate to say that no vent is required for this type of heater.
