Sec. 494(38). Stoves and ranges.
(a) No kitchen range or stove in any building shall be placed
less than three (3) feet from any woodwork or wooden lath and
plaster partition, unless the woodwork or partition is properly
protected by metal shields; in which case the distance shall be not
less than twelve (12) inches. Metal shields shall be loosely attached,
thus preserving an air space behind them.
(b) Hotel and restaurant ranges shall be provided with a metal
hood, placed at least nine (9) inches below any wooden lath and
plaster or wooden ceiling, and have an individual pipe outlet connected
with a bent flue. The pipe shall be protected by at least
one inch of asbestos covering or its equivalent.
(c) Combustible floors under coal ranges and similar appliances
without legs, such as mentioned in subsection 39, in which
hot fires are maintained, shall rest upon six (6) inch foundations
built of incombustible materials supported within the thickness of
the floor framing. Such hearths shall extend at least twenty-four
inches in front and twelve (12) inches on the sides and back
of the range or similar heating appliance.
(d) All coal stoves or ranges, with legs, shall be set on incombustible
material which shall extend at least twelve (12) inches
in front.
