For oil burners. All oil-burning equipment hereafter installed or altered employing, or in connection with, oil burners, shall be installed or altered in accordance with the Regulations of the National Board of Fire Underwriters for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment and for the Storage and Use of Oil Fuels in Connection Therewith, Edition of 1928 as adopted up to January 18, 1931, and as recommended by the National Fire Protection Association and as may be amended from time to time, copies of which are on file with the Village Clerk and the General Foreman; provided, however, that the provisions of Sections 14, 25, 121-b, 127-d and 127-e of the said regulations shall not apply.

For range burners. All oil-burning equipment hereafter installed or altered, employing or in connection with range burners shall be installed or altered in accordance with the Regulations of the National Board of Fire Underwriters for the Installation of Oil Burners in Stoves and Ranges Originally Designed for Solid Fuels and for the Storage and Use of Oil Fuels in Connection Therewith, effective April 15, 1932, and as may be amended from time to time, copies of which are on file with the Village Clerk and the General Foreman; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 1-b, 1-c and 1-d of the said regulations shall not apply.

If oil burners are placed in a closed room or compartment other than an open cellar, the room or compartment shall be provided with a cover or other ventilating device continuously open to the outer air. The size of this ventilation opening should not be less than the size of the flue to which the furnace is connected.

When oil-burner installations are made in a furnace connected either directly or indirectly to a hot-water storage tank, such storage tank must be provided with a safety relief valve.

The ceiling over the furnace must be fireproofed four feet from the sides and back and eight feet from the front of the furnace with one-half-inch plasterboard, wire lath, cement plaster or equivalent fireproofing. Existing wood lath and plaster ceilings will not be accepted without additional protection except in such cases where boiler burner units are installed and casing of such units meets with the approval of the General Foreman.

Any woodwork, wood lath and plaster partitions or other combustible material within four feet of the sides and back or eight feet from the front of the furnace must be protected in the same manner.

All boiler or furnace rooms shall be provided with adequate ventilation to assure continuous complete combustion.

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

All oil burners subject to automatic ignition must be provided with permanent automatic device so designed that oil, upon being turned into the combustion chamber, will become ignited substantially immediately or be shut off.

All oil burners used in connection with hot water, steam or warm-air heating systems shall be equipped with an automatic device to reduce and extinguish the fire in the event of undue pressure in a steam boiler or overheating within a hot-water boiler or warm-air furnace.

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

No oil burner shall be installed using a heavier grade of oil than that approved by Underwriters' Laboratories, Chicago, Illinois.
