Section 33.1-14-09-14.1 - Pressure controlEach automatically fired steam boiler must be protected from over pressure by two pressure-operated controls.
1. Each automatically fired steam boiler must have a safety limit control that will cut off the fuel supply to prevent steam pressure from exceeding the fifteen pounds per square inch [103 kilopascals] maximum allowable working pressure of the boiler. Each control must be constructed to prevent a pressure setting above fifteen pounds per square inch [103 kilopascals] and be of the manual reset type.2. Each individual steam boiler or each system of commonly connected steam boilers must have a control that will cut off the fuel supply when the pressure reaches an operating limit, which must be less than the maximum allowable pressure.3. Shutoff valves of any type may not be placed in the steam pressure connection between the boiler and the controls described in subsections 1 and 2. These controls must be protected with a siphon or equivalent means of maintaining a water seal that will prevent steam from entering the control.N.D. Admin Code 33.1-14-09-14.1
