Gas services, gas meters, and gas pressure regulators
shall be located so that they are protected from damage.
Any service connection supplying gas at a pressure
in excess of one pound per square inch gauge shall be provided with
a device to reduce such pressure to not more than one-half (1/2) pound
per square inch gauge prior to entering the meter, except where such
service supplies equipment using gas at high pressures.
Fuel-burning, heat-producing equipment shall
be installed and maintained so that 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 conform to the requirements of such equipment used
for ventilating purposes.
Fuel-burning equipment shall be permanently
fastened and connected in place. Fuel supply connection to such equipment
shall be made with approved pipe or with an approved flexible tubing
connector and be protected against mechanical injury and corrosion.
Where heat-producing equipment is installed
on, or adjacent to, combustible materials, the location, installation,
clearance, and the control of the equipment shall be such that the
temperature on the surface of the combustible materials will not exceed
a safe temperature.
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 safe temperature.
Enclosures or spaces where heat, gases, vapors,
or odors may accumulate and become a potential source of hazard or
nuisance shall be provided with adequate means of ventilation to remove
such excess.
Fuel oil shall be received, stored and conveyed
by means of fixed liquidtight equipment.
Required fire alarm systems shall be maintained
in proper operating condition at all times.
