I moderate physical plant issues for the independent living groups at MIT. We recently had an insurance inspection and were informed we need to install a shut off switch for the gas furnace. I asked an electician friend who said that a while back, switches for gas furnaces were included in the NEC.
Being engineers, my constituents like to know the facts. Can you provide the following answers?
When was this added to the NEC?
What is the code reference for this?
Are there any special conditions other than location outside the furnace room for this switch installation?
I assume oil furnaces were previously required to have such shut offs?
Thank you for your wisdom!
