Section M2002 Operating and Safety Controls

Residential Code 2018 of Kansas > 20 Boilers and Water Heaters > M2002 Operating and Safety Controls
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

M2002.1 Safety Controls

Electrical and mechanical operating and safety controls for boilers shall be listed and labeled.

M2002.2 Hot Water Boiler Gauges

Every hot water boiler shall have a pressure gauge and a temperature gauge, or combination pressure and temperature gauge. The gauges shall indicate the temperature and pressure within the normal range of the system's operation.

M2002.3 Steam Boiler Gauges

Every steam boiler shall have a water-gauge glass and a pressure gauge. The pressure gauge shall indicate the pressure within the normal range of the system's operation. The gauge glass shall be installed so that the midpoint is at the normal water level.

M2002.4 Pressure Relief Valve

Boilers shall be equipped with pressure relief valves with minimum rated capacities for the equipment served. Pressure relief valves shall be set at the maximum rating of the boiler. Discharge shall be piped to drains by gravity to within 18 inches (457 mm) of the floor or to an open receptor.

M2002.5 Boiler Low-Water Cutoff

Steam and hot water boilers shall be protected with a low-water cutoff control.
Exception: A low-water cutoff is not required for coil-type and water-tube-type boilers that require forced circulation of water through the boiler and that are protected with a flow-sensing control.

M2002.6 Operation

Low-water cutoff controls and flow-sensing controls required by Section M2002.5 shall automatically stop the combustion operation of the appliance when the water level drops below the lowest safe water level as established by the manufacturer or when the water circulation flow is less than that required for safe operation of the appliance, respectively.
