Patchogue, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 238 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 238-33
Fuel supply connections
Operative Text
Fuel-burning equipment shall be permanently fastened and connected in place. Fuel supply connections to such equipment shall be made with pipe or tubing of solid metal.
Section 238-33 of Patchogue's Code of Ordinances establishes that fuel-burning equipment must be permanently secured and connected, and that any fuel supply lines running to such equipment must be constructed from solid metal pipe or tubing. The rule prohibits flexible, non-metal, or temporary connections to fuel-burning appliances. This is a safety-oriented installation standard that applies to covered residential or commercial properties within the village.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 238-33, compliant property operators ensure that all fuel-burning equipment—such as furnaces, boilers, or water heaters—is permanently fastened in place rather than left movable or loosely installed. Fuel supply lines to that equipment are made exclusively of solid metal pipe or tubing, not flexible hoses or non-metal materials. Operators typically verify these conditions during installation, after any equipment servicing, and as part of routine property inspections.

Section 238-33 sets a baseline safety standard for how fuel-burning equipment and its fuel supply connections must be installed in covered properties. If a tenant observes fuel-burning equipment that appears unsecured or connected with non-metal or flexible tubing, that may indicate a code violation worth documenting. General enforcement paths include contacting the local Patchogue code enforcement office, reaching out to a tenant-rights organization, or raising the condition as part of a broader housing complaint process.
