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
