boilers. furnaces. fireplaces, ovens.
Kitchen ranges and stoves and all
other heating apparatus working by
the consumption of fuel, shall lie
connected with a flue, chimney or
stack. as directly and within the
shortest distance possible.
Heating Boilers. Sec. 727. All
boilers in residences used for heat
ing only, shall be lOw-pressure and
in no case shall the pressure exceed
L lbs. per so. in.
Heating system connected with
high pressure boilers must have posi-
tive reducing valves attached in such
q manner as will prevent a higher
pressure than II lbs. on any part of
the heating system. and in addition
must have a pOp-safety-valve on the
radiation side of said reducing valve,
which pop-vvalve will automatically
release at any greater pressure than
y lbs. per SO. in.
Furnace Construction. Sec. 72S.
Srick-set furnaces must be enclosed
with double walls laid up with hard
brick and mortar with an air-space
between these.
The tops Of such furnaces shall be
protected either with brick arches

of arch filled with sand or by metal
shields securely fastened and filed
with not less than in. Of sand over
crown or arch or the highest point
OF metal shield.
Portable furnaces shall be enclosed
with double castings with at least 1

outside casing lined with asbestos
paper and tin. The castings shall
be of galvanized iron OF not less than
No. &c gauge and casing tops shall
be covered by metal shields and sand.
except that for single-register or
so-called "pipeless' furnaces, having
"a central hOt-air duct, entirely sur
