Portable kerosene and portable liquid-fuel-burning
space heaters are hereby prohibited.
A.
Residential buildings intended for occupancy between
the 15th day of September and the 15th day of May of the following
year shall be provided with heating equipment designed to maintain
an average temperature of not less than 68° F. when measured three
feet away from an outside wall at a height of five feet above the
floor when the outside temperature is zero degrees Fahrenheit.
B.
Upon request of the Building Inspector, the owner,
occupant or operator shall provide certification by a heating engineer
that the design of the heating equipment meets the requirements hereof.
Fuel-burning heat-producing equipment shall
be installed and maintained so that the emission or discharge into
the atmosphere of smoke, dust, particles, odors or other products
of combustion will not create a nuisance or be detrimental to the
health, comfort, safety or property of any person.
Ducts and other air-handling equipment used
for heating shall meet generally accepted heating and ventilation
standards.
Fuel-burning water heaters shall not be located
in sleeping rooms, bathrooms or toilet rooms.
Fuel-burning equipment shall be permanently
fastened and connected in place. Fuel supply connection to such equipment
shall be made with pipe or tubing of metal.
Where heat-producing equipment is installed
on or adjacent to combustible materials, the location, insulation,
clearance and the control of the equipment shall be such that the
temperature on the surface of the combustible materials will not exceed
a temperature of 175° F.
A.
Chimneys, flues, gas vents and their supports shall
be installed and maintained so as to be structurally safe, durable,
smoketight, noncombustible and capable of withstanding the action
of flue gases without softening, cracking, corroding or spalling and
shall effectively convey the products of combustion to the outer air
in accordance with generally accepted standards.
B.
Chimneys, flues and gas vents shall be installed and
maintained so that under conditions of use the temperature of any
combustible material adjacent thereto, insulated therefrom or in contact
therewith does not exceed a temperature of 175° F.
C.
All liquid-fuel-burning heat-producing equipment shall
be connected to a flue or vent installed in accordance with generally
accepted standards.
