or in part for residential purposes and where the sidewall exhaust vent termination is less than seven (7) ft. above
grade, the following requirements shall be satisfied:
1. If there is no carbon monoxide detector with an alarm already installed in compliance with the most current
edition of NFPA 720, NFPA 70 and the Massachusetts State Building Code in the residential
unit
served by the sidewall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment, a battery operated carbon monoxide
detector with an alarm shall be installed in compliance with the most current edition of NFPA 720, NFPA 70
and the Massachusetts State Building Code.
2. In addition to the above requirements, if there is not one already present, a carbon monoxide detector with
an alarm and a battery back-up shall be installed and located in accordance with the
installation requirements supplied with the detector on the floor level where the gas equipment is installed.
The carbon monoxide detector with an alarm shall comply with 527 CMR, ANSI/UL 2034 Standards or CSA
6.19 and the most current edition of NFPA 720. In the event that the requirements of this subdivision can not
be met at the time of the completion of the installation of the equipment, the installer shall have a period

a battery operated carbon monoxide detector with an alarm shall be installed in compliance with the most
current edition of NFPA 720, NFPA 70 and the Massachusetts State Building Code. In the event that
the sidewall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment is installed in a crawl space or an attic, the
carbon monoxide detector may be installed on the next adjacent habitable floor level. Such detector may
be a battery operated carbon monoxide detector with an alarm and shall be installed in compliance with the
most current edition of NFPA 720, NFPA 70 and the Massachusetts State Building Code.
3.
A metal or plastic identification plate shall be permanently mounted to the exterior of the building at a
minimum height of eight (8) ft. 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. A final inspection by the state or local gas inspector of the sidewall horizontally vented equipment shall not
be performed until proof is provided that the state or local electrical inspector having jurisdiction has granted
a permit for installation of carbon monoxide detectors and alarms as required above.
B.
EXEMPTIONS: The following equipment is exempt from 248 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

2.
Product Approved sidewall 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.
C. When the manufacturer of Product Approved sidewall horizontally vented gas equipment provides a venting
system design or venting system components with the equipment, the instructions for installation of the
equipment and the venting system shall include:
1. A complete parts list for the venting system design or venting system; and
2. Detailed instructions for the installation of the venting system design or the venting system components.
D. When the manufacturer of a Product Approved sidewall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment does not
provide the parts for venting flue gases, but identifies “special venting systems”, the following shall be satisfied:
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.
