<br />matically the fan in operation whenever the
<br />delivered air temperature, measured in the
<br />bonnet or plenum of a warm-air heating
<br />furnace or at the discharge opening of a
<br />unit heater or floor furnace, exceeds a prede-
<br />termined temperature not in excess of 150
<br />F, and to reduce automatically the heat in-
<br />put whenever such delivered air tempera-
<br />ture exceeds 200 F.
<br />(b) Gravity operation. Every gravity
<br />warm-air heating furnace shall be equipped
<br />with a temperature limit control, approved
<br />by the Building Official, located in or near
<br />the bonnet at a point where its operation
<br />will not be affected adversely by radiant
<br />heat and arranged to reduce automatically
<br />the heat input ,whenever the delivered air
<br />temperature exceeds 250 F.
<br />1591.26 Controls for steam boilers.
<br />(a) Pressure regulator. Every steam
<br />boiler shall be equipped with a pressure
<br />regulator, approved by the Building Official,
<br />which will reduce automatically the heat in-
<br />put whenever the steam pressure reaches a
<br />predetermined pressure not in excess of the
<br />safety valve setting less 10 per cent.
<br />(b) Low water cut-off. Every stoker,
<br />liquid-fuel, or gas-fuel-fired steam boiler
<br />shall also be equipped with a low water
<br />cut-off which shall automatically stop or sub-
<br />stantially reduce the rate of flow of fuel
<br />whenever the water level in the boiler drops
<br />below a level approved as safe by the Build-
<br />ing Official.
<br />1591.27 Controls for hot water heating and
<br />supply boilers.
<br />(a) Aquastat. Every hot water heating
<br />boiler shall be equipped with an aquastat
<br />which will automatically reduce the heat in-
<br />put whenever the water temperature ex-
<br />ceeds the temperature of 200 F for an open
<br />gravity system or 239 F for a closed gravity
<br />system,
<br />(b) Relie f valves. Each hot water heat-
<br />ing or hot water supply boiler shall have one
<br />or more relief valves of the spring loaded
<br />type without disk guides on the pressure side
<br />of the valve. All valves shall meet the re-
<br />quirements for relief valves in the ASME
<br />Code for Low-Pressure Heating Boilers and
<br />shall have a capacity, or combined capacity
<br />in the case of multiple valve installation,
<br />equal to or greater than the Btu boiler rat-

<br />CHAPTER 23. GRADING AND DRAINING.
<br />1523.01 Surface drainage.
<br />Positive drainage shall be provided for
<br />each lot or plat by proper draining so that a
<br />nuisance will not be created. Catch basins
<br />or properly connected under-drains shall be
<br />installed, or other approved provisions made
<br />where water may pocket, to preclude the ac-
<br />cumulation of surface' water. Regrading
<br />shall be done so that existing natural ground
<br />drainage of the surrounding area shall not be
<br />impeded.
<br />The Building Official may adopt rules or
<br />plans for the drainage of lots or plots which
<br />rules or plans shall be followed by the owner
<br />unless permission for deviation is given by
<br />the Board of Building Code Appeals. When
<br />a lot or plot is graded to a higher or lower
<br />level than the natural grade on an adjacent
<br />property, the owner of such lot or plot shall
<br />provide suitable slopes or retaining walls or
<br />other protection approved by the Building
<br />Official on his own property to preserve the
<br />natural slope or surface elevation of such
<br />adjacent property.
<br />1523.02 Footing drains.
<br />When a floor is below the adjoining
<br />ground, drains shall be installed alongside
<br />the base of all foundation wall footings. Such
<br />drains shall be not less than 4-inch diameter
<br />pipe of a type and construction to provide
<br />drainage. Trenches shall be backfilled to at
<br />least 12 inches above the top of pipe with
<br />graded pervious material. The remainder of
<br />the backfill may be any suitable material.
<br />Footing drains shall be connected and dis-
<br />charged into the storm sewer or into other
<br />outlets approved by the Building Official.
<br />The outlet of the footing drain shall be
<br />sealed-jointed pipe with a minimum slope of
<br />i/s inch per foot,
<br />1523.03 Roof and yard drainage.
<br />Unless otherwise specifically approved by
<br />the Building Official, roof drainage shall be
<br />handled by suitable collectors and down-
<br />spouts which shall discharge into asealed-
<br />jointed storm drain of not less than 4-inch
<br />diameter with a slope of ~/4 inch or more per
<br />foot. Where storm sewer or other storm
<br />drainage outlet is not available, downspouts
<br />may discharge onto splash blocks or into
<br />other devices provided that no excess water
<br />will flow onto adjoining property or over
<br />sidewalks. The storm drain outlet, carrying
<br />roof water or yard drainage shall be not less
<br />than 6-inch diameter, and shall not connect
<br />to the footing drain, but may intercept and
<br />receive the outlet of the footing drain by a
<br />wye connection above the spring line. Con-
<br />nection of any pipe, carrying roof water or
<br />yard drainage, to a sanitary sewer is pro-
<br />hibited.
<br />1523.04 Joint services.
<br />Two living units in atwo-family dwelling
<br />may have joint services such as water, sewer,
<br />gas, electricity, laundry, storage and heat-
<br />ing provided there is no recirculation of
<br />warm air from one living unit to another.
<br />CHAPTER 25. SANITARY FACILITIES.
<br />1525.01 Minimum fixtures.
<br />Each living unit shall contain at least one
<br />kitchen sink, one water closet, one lavatory
<br />and one bathtub or shower stall.
<br />1525.02 Sewage disposal.
<br />Each required fixture in a living unit shall
<br />be provided with sewage disposal by awater-
<br />carriage system to a public sewerage system,
<br />unless otherwise provided by ordinance]
<br />1525.03 Proper connection.
<br />The sanitary outlet from a dwelling house
<br />shall be not less than 4-inch cast-iron pipe,
<br />5-inch vitrified clay sewer pipe or 5-inch
<br />bituminized-fiber pipe and shall connect only
<br />to a sanitary or combined sewer system.
<br />Sanitary connections to a storm sewer or the
<br />connection of storm drains to sanitary sewer-
<br />age is prohibited. Unless otherwise ap-
<br />proved by the Building Official, joints in the
<br />sanitary sewer line shall be made as pro-
<br />vided in Section 1593,58,
<br />1525.04 Water supply.
<br />Each living unit shall be provided with
<br />potable water connected to the required fix-
<br />tures and supplied by a public water supply
<br />system, unless otherwise provided by ordi-
<br />nance ,~
<br />1525.05 Non-potable water.
<br />. Non-potable water maybe used for flush-
<br />ing water closets and other purposes not re-
<br />~~ or a private system approved by the Cuyahoga County General Health
<br />District.
