ORDER 

AMENDING ConE OF FAIR CoMPETITION FOR OrL BURNER INDUS.TRY 

A Code of Fair Competition for the Oil Burner Industry has 

been heretofore duly approved by Executive Order of the President, dated September 18, 1933. There had been contained in said 

Code as submitted, and in said Code as revised for public hearing, 

the following provision : 

"(b) For the protection of the public interest, no distillate burner 

of sleeve type shall be sold or offered for sale that does not meet the 

following specifications: 

"The burner top rings, top caps and sleeves shall have a thickness of not less than .026" and chromium content of not less than 

16-18 per cent, or alloys of equivalent heat resistance. 

"The burner sleeves shall have a height of 4%" or m_ore. 

"Other construction and material specifications must comply with 

the Underwriters' Laboratories' requirements· as specified in their 

Code of April 1932 and amendments to June 1, 1933. 

"Distillate conversion burners (class 4 (a)) must include all of 

the following component parts: . 

"Oil container and stand; hand control metering valve or valves; 

minimum of six feet of copper tubing with single burners, and seven 

feet with multiple burners; suitable fittings; bases and supports ; 

approved wicking; sleeves, top rings, caps and the necessary bolts 

and screws for proper installation. 

"Quality of material, workmanship and packing must comply 

with the Underwriters' Laboratories' requirements as specified in 

their Code of April 1932 and amendments to June 1, 1933." 

At the public hearing on said Code duly held on August 21, 

1933, no objection to said provision had been raised. Ho·wever, in 

preparation of the final revision of said Code for submission to the 

President, said provision was inadvertently omitted. In consequence, the said Code as approved, did not contain said provision.
