Section 5:10-14.5 - Space heaters

(a) Space heaters shall be so installed, located and maintained so as to exhaust the products of combustion to the outside air (unless the appliance is labeled as having been tested and approved for unvented operation, in compliance with the State Uniform Construction Code), to prevent a fire hazard by being sufficiently removed or insulated from surrounding material, to be permanently affixed so that the heater cannot be moved by occupants, and not to constitute a hazard to persons using the premises in close proximity to the heater by reason of chance contact or by reason of lack of fresh air supply.

(b) Space heaters shall be installed in such a manner that all habitable rooms will be heated to the required temperature, with no room more than five degrees Fahrenheit higher in temperature than the other rooms. If the temperature varies over five degrees Fahrenheit, other heaters must be installed to give uniform heating of all habitable rooms.

(c) Electric and gas space heaters shall be permitted providing they meet standards established by the Underwriters' Laboratories.
