(C) Any source of heat utilizing combustible fuel, shall be installed and vented directly to the outside atmosphere in such a manner as to prevent fire hazards, reentrainment of exhaust, and a dangerous concentration of gases. If a stove burning a solid or liquid fuel is used in a room with wooden or other combustible flooring, there shall be a concrete slab, insulated metal sheet, or other fire resistant material on the floor under each such stove extending at least eighteen inches beyond the perimeter of the base of the stove or according to manufacturer's specifications.

(2) Eighteen inches for circulating type heating devices burning a solid or liquid fuel;
(3) Six inches from the rear and sides of a circulating type gas space heating device.
(E) The minimum distance from a stovepipe or exhaust vent serving a heating device burning a solid, liquid, or gas to any wall or ceiling is eighteen inches unless fire resistant material is applied to these surfaces or a lesser distance is specified by the manufacturer. A vented, fire resistant collar shall be installed around a stovepipe or exhaust vent passing through a wall, ceiling, floor, or roof unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.
(F) When a heating system has automatic controls, the controls shall be of a type which cut off the fuel supply upon the failure or interruption of the flame or ignition, or whenever a predetermined safe temperature or pressure is exceeded.
(G) Fuel lines and fuel storage tanks used to supply heating equipment shall be secured and maintained in a safe condition.
