  • Page 6: General Information

    GENERAL INFORMATION INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS For all side wall terminated, horizontally vented power vent, direct vent, and power direct vent gas fueled water heaters installed in every dwelling, building or structure used in whole or in part for residential purposes, including those owned 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:...
  • Page 7 GAS SUPPLY SYSTEMS Low pressure building gas supply systems are defined as those systems that cannot under any circumstances exceed 14” W.C. (1/2 PSI Gauge). These systems do not require pressure regulation. Measurements should be taken to insure that gas pressures are stable and fall within the requirements stated on the water heater rating plate.
