horizontally vented, gas-fueled heating appliance or
equipment. The sign shall read, in print size no less
than one-half (1/2) inch in size,
“GAS VENT DIRECTLY
BELOW. KEEP CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS.”
4.
INSPECTION. The state or local gas inspector of the
side wall, horizontally vented, gas-fueled equipment
shall not approve the installation unless, upon
inspection, the inspector observes carbon monoxide

Product Approved side wall, horizontally vented, gas-
fueled equipment installed in a room or structure
separate from the dwelling, building or structure used
in whole or in part for residential purposes.
MANUFACTURER REQUIREMENTS -
GAS EQUIPMENT VENTING SYSTEM PROVIDED.
When the manufacturer of Product Approved side wall,
horizontally vented, gas-fueled equipment provides a venting
system design or venting system components with the
equipment, the instructions provided by the manufacturer
for installation of the equipment and the venting system shall
include:
1.
Detailed instructions for the installation of the venting
system design or the venting system components: and
2.
A complete parts list for the venting system design or
venting system.
MANUFACTURER REQUIREMENTS -
GAS EQUIPMENT VENTING SYSTEM NOT PROVIDED.
When the manufacturer of Product Approved sidewall,
horizontally vented, gas-fueled equipment does not provide
the parts for venting the flue gases, but identifies “special
venting systems,” the following requirements shall be
satisfied by the manufacturer:
1.
The referenced “special venting system” instructions
shall be included with the appliance or equipment
installation instructions; and
2.
The “special venting systems” shall be Product
Approved by the Board, and the instructions for that
system shall include a parts list and detailed installation
instructions.
A copy of all installation instructions for all Product
Approved side wall, horizontally vented, gas-fueled
equipment, all venting instructions, all parts lists for
venting instructions, and/or all venting design
instructions shall remain with the appliance or
equipment at the completion of the installation.
