In addi- tion, the installing plumber or gas fitter shall observe that a battery operated or hard wired carbon monoxide detec- tor with an alarm is installed on each additional level of the dwelling, building or structure served by the side wall horizontal vented gas fueled equipment. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to secure the services of qualified licensed professionals for the installation of hard wired carbon monoxide detectors.

In the event that the side wall horizontally vented gas fu- eled equipment is installed in a crawl space or an attic, the hard wired carbon monoxide detector with alarm and battery back-up may be installed on the next adjacent floor level.

In the event that the requirements of this subdivision can not be met at the time of completion of installation, the owner shall have a period of thirty (30) days to comply with the above requirements; provided, however, that dur- ing said thirty (30) day period, a battery operated carbon monoxide detector with an alarm shall be installed.

Signage

A metal or plastic identification plate shall be permanent- ly 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 fu- eled heating appliance or equipment. The sign shall read, in print size no less than one-half (1/2) in. in size, “GAS

VENT DIRECTLY BELOW. KEEP CLEAR OF ALL OB- STRUCTIONS”.

Inspection

The state or local gas inspector of the side wall horizon- tally vented gas fueled equipment shall not approve the installation unless, upon inspection, the inspector ob- serves carbon monoxide detectors and signage installed in accordance with the provisions of 248 CMR 5.08(2)(a)1 through 4.

When the manufacturer of Product Approved side wall horizontally vented gas 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:

•Detailed instructions for the installation of the venting system design or the venting system components; and

•A complete parts list for the venting system design or venting system.

Gas Equipment Venting System NOT Provided

When the manufacturer of a Product Approved side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment does not pro- vide the parts for venting the flue gases, but identifies “special venting systems”, the following requirements shall be satisfied by the manufacturer:

•The referenced “special venting system” instructions shall be included with the appliance or equipment in- stallation instructions; and

•The “special venting systems” shall be Product Ap- proved by the Board, and the instructions for that sys- tem shall include a parts list and detailed installation instructions.

A copy of all installation instructions for all Product Ap- proved side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equip- ment, 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.
