§ 47.63. Fire protection of boilerrooms.
In all existing mills it is recommended that each interior opening from boilerrooms and enginerooms have, on one side of the wall, an approved automatic self-closing fire door. When the boilerroom is situated in the basement or cellar it is recommended that the walls and ceiling be fireproof and have no opening to the mill proper, except those necessary for the transmission of power, light, heat and water. When steam and exhaust pipes pass through partitions which are not of fireproof construction it is recommended that such pipes be incased in asbestos or other approved fire-resisting casing, or so supported as to allow an air space of 1/2 inch between the pipes and any part of the partition. In any new mills, it is recommended that the boilerroom connect only with the engineroom, and be separated from the engineroom and the mill proper by a fire wall parapeted three feet above the roof, having no openings, except those necessary for the transmission of power, light, heat and water. There shall be one entrance between the boilerroom, and the engineroom, protected with an approved automatic self-closing fire door.
