A. 

Burners shall be equipped with a device, mechanical or electrical, which will automatically prevent an abnormal flow of oil.

All low-pressure steam or vapor boilers shall be equipped with a low water cutoff and a cutout switch as approved by the Underwriters Laboratories and must have an adequate draw valve.

F. 

A remote-control switch shall be placed as designated for each installation by the Plumbing Inspector of the Town of Rye.

G. 

Gas or coal hot-water heating devices shall be adequately vented by direct connection to the chimney flue leading to the outer air.

H. 

No fuel-oil burner shall be installed in any boiler or heater unless said boiler or heater is connected with a chimney flue having a sufficient draft at all times to insure the safe operation of the burner.

I. 

Electrical installation used in connection with fuel-oil burners shall be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
