					 required. Each automatically fired steam or vapor system boiler, regardless of
					 date of installation, and each automatically fired hot water boiler installed
					 after January 1, 1966, shall be equipped with an automatic low water fuel
					 cutoff, so located as to automatically cut off the fuel supply when the surface
					 of the water falls to the lowest safe water line. If a water feeding device is
					 installed, it shall be so constructed that the water inlet valve cannot feed
					 water into the boiler through the float chamber and it shall be so located as
					 to supply the requisite feedwater. The lowest safe water line shall be not
					 lower than the lowest visible part of the water glass.
(b) Attachment. Such a fuel or feedwater
					 control device may be attached direct to a boiler, or to the tapped openings
					 provided for attaching a water glass direct to a boiler, provided that such
					 connections from the boiler are nonferrous tees or Y's not less than 1/2 inch
					 pipe size between the boiler and the water glass, so that the water glass is
					 attached direct and as close as possible to the boiler. The straightway tapping
					 of the Y or tee shall take the water glass fittings, and the side outlet of the
					 Y or tee shall take the fuel cutoff or the water feeding device. The ends of
					 all nipples shall be reamed to full-size diameter.
(c) Drain pipe. Designs embodying a float and
					 float bowl shall have a vertical straightway valved drain pipe at the lowest
					 point in the water equalizing pipe connections by which the bowl and the
					 equalizing pipe can be flushed and the device tested.
(d) Boilers consisting of continuous piping
					 affording no reservoir or water level practicable for the operation of a low
					 water cutoff may be equipped with a flow valve or other suitable control which
					 has been tested and approved in accordance with a code or standard commonly
					 applied in the industry, e.g., AGA or UL.
(e) Heat generating apparatus shall be
					 regarded as a new installation and subject to all applicable provisions
					 relating to installations made after January 1, 1966 whenever both an existing
					 burner and controls are replaced by a new burner and controls.

					 degrees Fahrenheit above the maximum allowable working temperature of the
					 boiler.
(c) Steam boilers. In
					 addition to the operating limit control, each steam boiler shall be provided
					 with a high limit pressure-actuated control which by interruption of an
					 electrical circuit will automatically stop the heat generating apparatus if the
					 steam pressure rises to five pounds psi gage above the maximum allowable
					 working pressure of the boiler.
(d)
					 Adjustment. Such control shall be adjustable and capable of being firmly fixed
					 or sealed in proper adjustment. Fixed or sealed as used herein means that the
					 control device shall be so arranged that it will not change during normal
					 operation of the boiler.
(e) Manual
					 reset. Each such control shall be of the manual reset type, designed to reclose
					 only by manual operation.
(f)
					 Circuits. Each such control shall be so incorporated into the electrical
					 circuit essential to the operation of the heat generating apparatus that its
					 automatic operation shall interrupt an ungrounded conductor and stop the heat
					 generating apparatus regardless of the functioning of any other electrical
					 device.
