Radiant floor heating systems heated slabs shall have a thermal barrier. Openings should be protected against local weather conditions. Outdoor air exhaust and intake openings should meet the provisions for exterior wall opening protection in accordance with this code. Approved corrosion-resistant flashing should be applied shingle-fashion to prevent water from entering wall cavities or from penetrating into building structural framing components.
Self-adhered flashing must comply with AAMA 5 Fluid-applied membranes used as flashing in exterior walls should comply with AAMA The flashing should extend to the surface of the exterior wall finish or to the water-resistive barrier. For this code, approved corrosion-resistant flashings should be installed at all wall and roof intersections. A potable water supply system should be designed and installed as to prevent contamination from non-potable liquids, solids, or gases being introduced into the potable water supply.
Connections should not be made to a potable water supply in a manner that could contaminate the water supply or provide cross-connection between the supply and a source of contamination except where approved methods are installed to protect the potable water supply. Cross-connections between an individual water supply and a potable public water supply should be prohibited. Piping insulation exposed to weather must be protected from damage caused by sunlight, moisture, equipment, and wind. The protection cannot be provided by adhesive tape.
Exception: Ducts or portions thereof located completely inside the building thermal envelope. Ducts, air handlers, and filter boxes should be sealed.
Existing Buildings and Replacement. New boilers that are part of an addition shall comply with new construction sections of the code. An exception is, when ducts are used as part of an existing heating and cooling system and are extended to an addition, a duct system with less than 40 linear feet in unconditioned spaces does not need to be tested. American National Standard Institute. Construction or work for which a permit is required is subject to inspection.
Construction or work is to remain accessible for inspection purposes until the inspection is complete and the work approved. Required inspections include footing and foundation, framing and rough-in work, plumbing rough-in, mechanical rough-in, and final inspection.
The wording is somewhat different in that, for onsite construction, from time to time the building official, upon notification from the permit holder or his agent, can make, or cause to be made, any necessary inspections. Further details are provided for inspections regarding the foundation, plumbing, mechanical, gas and electrical, floodplain, frame and masonry, and final inspection.
Any additional inspections are at the discretion of the building official. This section provides details for inspecting to the specific provisions for gas-fired boilers where one or more specific type of inspection per the IECC or IRC may be necessary to confirm compliance. Plan Review. Construction documents should include: — Insulation materials and their R-values — Mechanical system design criteria — Mechanical system equipment types, sizes, and efficiencies — Equipment and system controls — Duct sealing, duct and pipe insulation and location — Air sealing details — Flashing and moisture control.
On level platforms in accordance with Section G With expansion tanks that have been specified to meet minimum capacity requirements per Section M Minimum requirements as listed in Table M Hot water boilers that supply heat to the building through one- or two-pipe heating systems should have an outdoor reset control that lowers the boiler water temperature based on the outdoor temperature per R Outdoor air should be introduced in accordance with one of the methods prescribed below: G Outdoor combustion air provided through opening s to the outdoors.
The minimum dimension of air openings should not be less than 3 inches. Review and confirm that the construction documents specify the combustion air opening s meet one of the methods below. Section R Approved corrosion resistant flashing should be applied in shingle fashion to prevent entry of water into the wall cavity or penetration of water to the building structural framing components.
Where combustion air is provided by a mechanical air supply system, the combustion air should be supplied from the outdoors at a rate not less than 0. In this case the installer will not be able to self-certify that their work is compliant, and the firm or the householder will need to give notice to your local authority of the intention to carry out the boiler work in advance, and pay a notification fee. The local authority building control department may choose to check the works have been carried out to the necessary standards and may employ a registered installer to do this.
When works have been completed the installer should then produce for you a commissioning certificate such as a Benchmark certificate and notify the local authority building control department either directly, or, if a member of a Competent Person Scheme, via the scheme operator. In due course the local authority should supply you with a building regulations completion certificate that indicates compliance.
Guidance on installing boiler and other combustion appliances, and the building provisions that are necessary to safely accommodate them air supplies, hearths, fireplaces, flues and chimneys can be found in Approved Document J.

How are system boilers ventilated? However, make sure you do give it plenty of room for air circulation. How are conventional boilers ventilated? Even so, make sure nothing is too close to the tanks or the other parts of the boiler. Indeed there are:. Boilers are generally very safe, but making a mistake with boiler ventilation can be serious.
Our Gas Safe engineers can assess the condition of your boiler, repair potential problems, or recommend a new system to meet your needs. You can call us at 32 32 for a same-day visit, or contact us for more information.
Ventilation or Circulation? Combi Boilers Combi boilers are the smallest and most efficient kind of boiler. System Boilers System boilers are designed for larger homes. Indeed there are: There should be adequate space to perform maintenance work on the boiler itself.
