Fuel supply connection
Operative Text
Fuel-burning equipment shall be permanently fastened and connected in place. Fuel supply connection to such equipment shall be made with pipe or tubing of solid metal.
Section 116-29 of Thomaston's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 116, establishes that fuel-burning equipment must be permanently secured and connected rather than left portable or loosely installed. Additionally, any fuel supply line running to such equipment must be constructed from solid metal pipe or tubing, not flexible hoses or other non-metal materials. This rule is aimed at reducing fire and safety hazards associated with improperly connected fuel-burning appliances.

Under § 116-29 of Thomaston's Code ch. 116, compliant property operators ensure that all fuel-burning equipment—such as furnaces, boilers, or water heaters—is permanently fastened in place and not left in a movable or temporary configuration. The fuel supply connections to that equipment are made exclusively with solid metal pipe or tubing, and operators typically verify this during installation and routine inspections. Keeping documentation of installations and periodic maintenance checks helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.
