§ 14-12-56. Heating boilers—New installations.

A.

No heating boiler, except reinstalled boilers and those exempted by these rules and regulations, shall hereafter be installed in this city unless it has been constructed, inspected and stamped in conformity with section 4 of the A.S.M.E. Boiler Construction Code and is approved, registered and inspected in accordance with the requirements of these rules and regulations.

B.

All new heating boiler installations, including reinstalled boilers, must be installed in accordance with the requirements of the latest revision of the A.S.M.E. Boiler Construction Code and these rules and regulations.

C.

Upon completion of the installation, all boilers shall be inspected by the chief inspector, a deputy inspector or a special inspector. At the time of this inspection, all steel heating boilers must be stamped with the serial number of the city, followed by the letters "MFS," such letters and figures to be not less than 5/16 inch in height. All cast iron heating boilers shall have securely attached to the front of the boiler a metal tag not less than one inch in height, which shall have the serial number of the city stamped thereon.

D.

It is recommended that the return water connections to all low pressure steam heating boilers supplying a gravity return heating system be so arranged as to form what is known as the "water line return" so that the water cannot be forced out of the boiler below the safe water level. This connection is shown in Figure H-3, section 4, A.S.M.E. Boiler Construction Code.
