From Massachusetts Rules and Regulations 248 CMR 5.08:

(a)For all side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment installed in every dwelling, building or structure used in whole or inpart for residential purposes, including those owned or operated by the Commonwealth and where the side wall exhaust vent termination is less than seven (7) feet above finished grade in the area of the venting, including but not limited to decks and porches, the

following requirements shall be satisfied:

1.INSTALLATION OF CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS.

At the time of installation of the side wall horizontal vented gas fueled equipment, the installing plumber or gasfitter shall observe that a hard-wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm and battery back-up is installed on the floor level where the gas equipment is to be installed. In addition, the installing plumber or gasfitter shall observe that a battery operated or hard-wired carbon monoxide detector 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.

a.In the event that the side wall horizontally vented gas fueled 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.

b.In the event that the requirements of this subdivision cannot 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 during said thirty (30) day period, a battery operated carbon monoxide detector with an alarm shall be installed.

2.APPROVED CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS. Each carbon monoxide detector as required in accordance with the above provisions shall comply with NFPA 720 and be ANSI/UL 2034 listed and IAS certified.

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 (½) 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 accor-

dance with the provisions of 248 CMR 5.08(2)(a) 1 through 4.

(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 edition of NFPA 54 as adopted by the Board; and

2.Product Approved side wall horizontal 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)MANUFACTURER REQUIREMENTS - GAS EQUIPMENT VENTING SYSTEM PROVIDED. When the manufacturer of ProductApproved side wall horizontally vented gas equipment provides a venting system design or venting system compo- nents 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.

(d)MANUFACTURER REQUIREMENTS - GAS EQUIPMENT VENTING SYSTEMNOT PROVIDED. When the manufacturer

of a Product Approved side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment does not provide the parts for venting the fuel gases, but identifies "special venting systems", the following require- ments shall be satisfied by the manufacturer:

1.The identification of each "special venting system" shall include either the listing of the website, phone number or manufacturer's address where the venting system installation instructions can be obtained; and

2.The "special venting systems" shall be Product Approved by the Board, and the instructions provided with that system shall include a parts list and detailed installation instructions.

(e)A copy of all installation instructions for the Product Approved side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment, and all the venting instructions, parts lists, and/or design instructions for the venting system shall remain with the appliance or equipment at the completion of the installation.

Manufacturers' websites where venting system installation instructions may be obtained is located on the website at: http://www..com.

2.3.4Vertical Combustion Air Terminal

When combustion air is taken from the roof, a

field-supplied rain cap or an elbow arrangement must be used to prevent entry of rain water (see Figure 3). The opening on the end of the terminal must be at least 12" (30cm) above the point at which it penetrates the roof, and high enough above the roof line to prevent blockage from snow. When the vent terminates on the roof, the combustion air must terminate at least 12" (30cm) below the vent terminal.

2.4 Common Vent Test — Boilers

When an existing boiler is removed from a common venting system, the common venting system is likely to be too large for proper venting of the appliances remaining connected to it.

At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining con- nected to the common venting system are not in operation.

1.Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.

2.Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

3.Insofar as it is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.

4.Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate continuously.
