Overview Improperly installed fuel-burning appliances are a leading cause for consumer fires. This code provides the minimum requirements for installing appliances, equipment and components -- including space/service water heating, power generation and process application. In particular, the code applies to the installation of:
Stationary and portable oil-burning equipment: I.E. furnaces, process furnaces; boilers; water, vehicle and construction heaters; and internal combustion engines (for power applications in buildings).
Ancillary equipment: I.E. piping and tubing systems (for fuel oil-burning equipment), pumps, control devices, venting systems, accessories, heat distribution systems (for oil-burning equipment), central oil distribution systems, and above-ground storage tanks (with maximum individual / aggregate capacities).
