I am looking for the wording contained in NFPA 211 Section 5-8.


Particular concern is a Burnham Boiler that is a Coal / Wood / Oil Fired Boiler. Oil Burner on the right side with its own flue outlet and a Coal or Wood fired area with a Separate flue outlet.


These are then joined at a Tee into a Single Masonry Flue. I know it is wrong but I need the exact wording of the standard.

If anyone has the Particular wording or code, it would be greatly appreciated.

Joe, I agree and these site might help. I didn’t have the correct code book with me, I even looked in my BOCA book but coul not find the right section.


The HVAC sites will definately point you in the right direction:
