						  substituted for washout openings. Boilers not exceeding 12 inches internal
						  diameter and having less than 10 square feet of heating surface, need have not
						  more than two one-inch openings for cleanouts, one of which may be used for the
						  attachment of the blowoff valve; these openings shall be opposite to each other
						  where possible. All threaded openings in the boiler shall be provided with a
						  riveted or welded reinforcement, if necessary, to give four full threads
						  therein.

						with feedwater and blowoff connections, which shall not be less than one-half
						inch iron-pipe size unless operated on a closed system as provided in section
						14-11.6  of
						this Subpart. The feed pipe shall be provided with a check valve and a stop
						valve. The feedwater may be delivered to the boiler through the blowoff
						connection, if desired. The blowoff shall be fitted with a valve or cock in
						direct connection with the lowest water space practicable. When the boiler is

					 regulations for the protection of such persons, in that such trade, occupation
					 or process necessarily involves the constant hazard of falling from dangerous
					 heights and creates a substantial risk of serious injury to such persons and
					 others.
