Heating Help

Massachusetts oil supply line code

Hello
      The new law for oil supply lines it needs to have a regulator valve and a protective sheath around the oil line. Can you put a sheath around the line or do you need to buy a line with the sheath already around it. I was told the inspector may want the line with the sheath already attached to it.

Thanks any help would be appreciated.

 

you can

either install an OSV at the tank, or run a new protected oil supply line from the tank to the burner, and it must be continuous. You can either run the copper tubing thru a non-metallic sleeve, or easier to buy the precoated oil line. The catch here is that if it needs to be done, a licensed oil tech must pull the form 1 with the fire prevention/fire department to perform the work, or if it already complies, a form 1A from a licensed oil tech is needed. Sounds like you are doing the work yourself? Unless you can get a licensed guy/girl to walk the plank for you, the work that you are doing will not satisfy the law. Have your oil company get you into compliance. You need the paper trail.  Good luck  To add, you only need one or the other to satisfy the law, not both new line and OSV

form 1a

i thought there was only one form from the state for new mass law. the form 1a is the only one i have been using for new lines and ones that were already up to code. if there is another one what is it and where do you get it. i also did not think you had to go to the fire dept, all you had to do was give the homeowner the form 1a and they would send a copy to their homeowners insurance company.

Form 1

is the permit to alter if the line is not compliant, and needs to be brought into compliance. As long as it is a continuous protective sleeve that the line runs thru, all is ok. It can be water line, PVC, liquid tite, etc.
