A primary relay control is - ANS-the main combustion controller
A primary relay control will shut down when - ANS-no flame is detected
A red, smoky flame is an indication of a - ANS-lack of air
A smoke alarm is a device mounted on the smoke stack or chimney only if - ANS-the
maximum fire rate is 20 gallons per hour or over
A total of not more than 100,000 gallons - ANS-shall be stored inside any building
