Product Description
NFPA 31, Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, 2024 Edition, is the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard covering the safe installation of liquid-fuel-burning appliances such as boilers, furnaces, air heaters, and space heaters, along with their fuel tanks and piping.
Oil heat is still common in the Northeast and in rural areas, and most of the risk sits in the installation: tank placement, venting, piping, clearances, and combustion air. NFPA 31 addresses each of these for residential, commercial, and industrial occupancies. It is the document heating contractors are inspected against and the one tank installers cite when a question comes up about an indoor or outdoor fuel oil tank.
What's included
- NFPA 31, Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, 2024 edition
- Paperback NFPA print edition
- Requirements for oil-burning boilers, furnaces, air heaters, and space heaters
- Fuel oil tank, piping, and venting provisions for residential, commercial, and industrial installations
- ISBN-13: 9781455931118
Who it's for
Oil heat and HVAC contractors, fuel oil tank installers, mechanical inspectors, home inspectors in oil-heat regions, mechanical engineers, and fuel dealers who service equipment. Apprentices in oil burner technician programs also use NFPA 31 as a core text.
Why this edition
NFPA 31 is revised on a multi-year cycle and the 2024 edition is the current one. States and municipalities that regulate oil heat tend to adopt the newest edition within a few years, so buying the current text keeps you ahead of local adoption rather than behind it. Pair it with NFPA 211 for chimneys and vents and NFPA 54 if you also install gas equipment.
