To comply with minimum standards of
habitability:
(A) All housing
units and service rooms that are occupied before June first or after August
thirty-first shall be provided with properly installed heating equipment
capable of maintaining a temperature of at least
sixty-eight
seventy
degrees Fahrenheit.
Portable electric heaters may be
substituted but must be physically present either in the housing units or in a
storage building on the camp premises that is accessible to the camp occupants
at all times.
(B)
Only portable electric heaters equipped with automatic
shut-off switches may be substituted but must be physically present either in
the housing units or in a storage building on the camp premises that is
accessible to the camp occupants at all times.
(B) If an electric heating device is
used, the branch circuit supplying this device must be of sufficient capacity
in accordance with applicable provisions of the "National Electrical Code" or
local electrical codes.
(C) Any
stoves, or
other sources
source of heat utilizing
combustible fuel, shall be installed and vented directly to the outside
atmosphere in such a manner as to prevent fire hazards
,
reentrainment of exhaust, and a dangerous concentration of gases.
No portable heater, other than one operated by
electricity that is equipped with an automatic shut-off switch, shall be
used. If a stove burning a solid or liquid fuel is used in a room with
wooden or other combustible flooring, there shall be a concrete slab, insulated
metal sheet, or other fire resistant material on the floor under each such
stove extending at least eighteen inches beyond the perimeter of the base of
the stove or according to manufacturer's specifications.
(D)
Distances shorter
than those required by this paragraph may be used if specified by the
manufacturer of the heating equipment. The minimum distances between
combustible materials, including walls and ceilings, and heating devices shall
be as follows:
(1) Thirty-six inches for
radiant type heating devices burning a solid or liquid fuel;
(2) Eighteen inches for circulating type
heating devices burning a solid or liquid fuel;
(3) Six inches from the rear and sides of a
circulating type gas space heating device.
Distances shorter than those
required by this paragraph may be used if specified by the manufacturer of the
heating device or if the combustible materials are protected in a manner
approved by the licensor.
(E) The minimum distance from a stovepipe or
exhaust vent serving a heating device burning a solid, liquid, or gas to any
wall or ceiling is eighteen inches unless
fire
protection
resistant material is applied to these surfaces or a lesser distance is
specified by the manufacturer. A vented, fire resistant collar shall be
installed around a stovepipe or exhaust vent passing through a wall, ceiling,
floor, or roof unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.
(F) When a heating system has automatic
controls, the controls shall be of a type which cut off the fuel supply upon
the failure or interruption of the flame or ignition, or whenever a
predetermined safe temperature or pressure is exceeded.
(G)
Fuel lines and
fuel storage tanks used to supply heating equipment shall be secured and
maintained in a safe condition.
