is responsible for, the installation and operation of gas
appliances and automatic vent damper devices, who
is experienced in such work, familiar with all the pre-
cautions required, and has complied with all the
requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. The
qualified installer shall fill in the installer's name,
address and installation date on the label attached to
the vent damper device.

operational controls.

with particular attention given to deterioration from corrosion or other sources. This examination should be performed prior to and
during each heating season. Also use Exhibit A, page 2 and Final Inspection, page 7.
