than seven (7) feet above finished grade in the area of the venting,
including but not limited to decks and porches, the following require-
ments shall be satisfied:
1. INSTALLATION OF CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS. At
the time of installation of the side wall horizontal vented gas
fueled equipment, the installing plumber or gasfitter shall
observe that a hard wired carbon monoxide detector with an
alarm and battery back-up is installed on the floor level where the
gas equipment is to be installed. In addition, the installing

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
a. In the event that the side wall horizontally vented gas fueled
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)
day period, a battery operated carbon monoxide detector with
an alarm shall be installed.

monoxide detector as required in accordance with the above pro-
visions shall comply with NFPA 720 and be ANSI/UL 2034 listed
and IAS certified.
3. SIGNAGE. A metal or plastic identification plate shall be perma-
nently 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 heat-
ing appliance or equipment. The sign shall read, in print size no
less than one-half (1/2) inch in size, "GAS VENT DIRECTLY
