DETECTORS.
At the time of installation of the side wall,

backup is installed on the floor level where the gas
equipment is to be installed. In addition, the installing
plumber or gas fitter shall observe that a battery-

3.
SIGNAGE
. A metal or plastic identification plate shall
be permanently mounted to the exterior of the building at
a minimum height of eight (8) feet above grade directly
in line with the exhaust vent terminal for the horizontally
vented, gas-fueled heating appliance or equipment. The
sign shall read, in print size no less than one-half (1/2)
inch in size,
“GAS VENT DIRECTLY BELOW. KEEP
CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS.”
4. INSPECTION. The state or local gas inspector of the
side wall, horizontally vented, gas-fueled equipment
shall not approve the installation unless, upon
inspection, the inspector observes carbon monoxide
detectors and signage installed in accordance with the
provisions of 248 CMR 5.08(2)(a) 1 through 4.
EXEMPTIONS: The following equipment is exempt from
24 CMR 5.08(2)(a) 1 through 4:
1. The equipment listed in Chapter 10 entitled “Equipment
Not Required to Be Vented” in the most current edition
of NFPA 54 as adopted by the Board; and
2. Product Approved side wall, horizontally vented,
gas-fueled equipment installed in a room or structure
separate from the dwelling, building or structure used
in whole or in part for residential purposes.
MANUFACTURER REQUIREMENTS -
GAS EQUIPMENT VENTING SYSTEM PROVIDED.
When the manufacturer of Product Approved side wall,
horizontally vented, gas-fueled equipment provides a
venting system design or venting system components with
the equipment, the instructions provided by the manufacturer
for installation of the equipment and the venting system
shall include:
1. Detailed instructions for the installation of the venting
system design or the venting system components: and
2. A complete parts list for the venting system design or
venting system.
MANUFACTURER REQUIREMENTS -
GAS EQUIPMENT VENTING SYSTEM NOT PROVIDED.
When the manufacturer of Product Approved sidewall,
horizontally vented, gas-fueled equipment does not provide
the parts for venting the flue gases, but identifies
“special
venting systems,” the following requirements shall be
satisfied by the manufacturer:
1. The referenced “special venting system” instructions
shall be included with the appliance or equipment
installation instructions; and
2. The “special venting systems” shall be Product Approved
by the Board, and the instructions for that system shall
include a parts list and detailed installation instructions.
A copy of all installation instructions for all Product
Approved side wall, horizontally vented, gas-fueled
equipment, all venting instructions, all parts lists
for venting instructions, and/or all venting design
instructions shall remain with the appliance or
equipment at the completion of the installation.
