Installation Report Requirements
If the cast iron boilers are constructed to American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) code and meet code clearance requirements, complete the following steps:
Code clearance requirements are a minimum of 30” in front, at rear and on both sides, and 72” overhead.
- Fill out the "Intent to Install Boiler" form
- Submit payment via check or money order made payable to "Commonwealth of Pennsylvania."
If approved, L&I's Boiler Division will send your inspector's contact information and information for ordering a hydrostatic test.
When the hydrostatic test occurs, you must submit a copy of the Cast Iron Boiler Installation Report.
If the cast iron does not meet code clearance requirements, a business owner must:
- Submit three sets of installation plans, including a floor plan with all objects in the boiler room and an elevated view showing the breaching and smoke pipe.
- Submit a variance request to L&I's Industrial Board
- Make payments out to "Commonwealth of Pennsylvania."
