or operated by the Commonwealth and where the side wall
exhaust vent termination is less than seven (7) feet above
finished grade in the area of the venting, including but not
limited to decks and porches, the following requirements shall
be satisfied:
1. INSTALLATION OF CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS.
At the time of installation of the side wall horizontal vented

the gas equipment is to be installed. In addition, the installing
plumber or gasfitter shall observe that a battery operated
or hard wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm is
installed on each additional level of the dwelling, building or
structure served by the side wall horizontal vented gas fueled
equipment. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner
to secure the services of qualified licensed professionals for
the installation of hard wired carbon monoxide detectors

equipment is installed in a crawl space or an attic, the hard
wired carbon monoxide detector with alarm and battery back-
up may be installed on the next adjacent floor level.
b. In the event that the requirements of this subdivision can
not be met at the time of completion of installation, the owner
shall have a period of thirty (30) days to comply with the above
requirements; provided, however, that during said thirty (30)

carbon monoxide detector as required in accordance with the
above provisions shall comply with NFPA 720 and be ANSI/UL
2034 listed and IAS certified. The manufacturer of the furnace
does not test any carbon monoxide detectors and makes
no representation regarding any brand of carbon monoxide
detector.

permanently mounted to the exterior of the building at a
minimum height of eight (8) feet above grade directly in line
with the exhaust vent terminal for the horizontally vented
gas fueled heating appliance or equipment. The sign shall
