EXAM NEWEST ACTUAL EXAM COMPLETE 250
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS
(VERIFIED ANSWERS) |ALREADY GRADED A+
Air heater - ANSWER An indirect fired Appliance intended to supply heated air for
space Heating and other purposes but not intended for permanent installation
Air pressure switch - ANSWER An electrical switch designed to prove that the proper
draft has been established by the power Venter or burner and allows the burner to
operate. It will de-energize the burner control circuit preventing the burner from
operating, if the power venter or burner is not performing to satisfaction.
Anti flooding device - ANSWER A primary safety control that causes the flow of fuel to
be shut off upon a rise in fuel level or upon receiving excess Fuel, and which operates
before the Hazardous discharge of fuel can occur.
Low heat industrial Appliance - ANSWER Appliances in which materials are heated or
melted at temperatures not exceeding 600°F (316°C) and if not larger than 100 cu ft
(2.8 m3) not including any blower equipment and blower compartment.
Medium heat industrial appliance - ANSWER Appliances operating at over 50 PSIG
(345 kPa) pressure when such Appliance is larger than 100 cu ft (2.8 m3) in size. Aswell
as other medium-heat appliances in accordance with recognized good practice.
High heat industrial Appliance - ANSWER An industrial Appliance larger than 100 cu ft
(2.8 m3) in size, and other furnaces classified as high-heat appliances in accordance
with recognized good practice.
Application permit/Certificate of Completion - ANSWER A standard form issued for use
in all jurisdictions throughout the Commonwealth.
Approved - ANSWER Unless otherwise indicated listed or approved by a nationally
recognized testing Laboratory
Authority having jurisdiction - ANSWER The State Fire Marshal or his designee
Boiler - ANSWER A closed vessel in which water is heated, steam is generated, steam
is superheated, or any combination thereof, by the application of heat from combustible
fuels in a self-contained or attached furnace
, Boiler, High Pressure - ANSWER A boiler for generating steam at pressures in excess
of 15 psi (103 kPa) or for heating water to a temperature in excess of 250° F (121°C) or
at a pressure in excess of 160 PSI (1103 kPa)
Boiler hot water supply - ANSWER A low pressure hot water boiler having a volume not
exceeding 120 gal (454 L) or a heat input exceeding 200,000 BTU per hour (58.6 kW)
or an operating temperature exceeding 200° F (93°C) that provides hot water to be used
externally to itself
Boiler, low pressure - ANSWER A boiler for generating steam at pressures not in
excess of 15 PSIG (103 kPa) or for Furnishing water at a temperature not in excess of
250° F (121°C) pressure's not in excess of 160 PSIG (1103 kPa)
Burner automatically ignited - ANSWER A burner equipped so that the main burner fuel
may be turned on and ignited automatically
Burner manually ignited - ANSWER A burner equipped so that main burner fuel is used
on only by hand and ignited under supervision
Burner Mechanical Draft Type - ANSWER A burner that includes a power-driven fan,
blower, or other mechanism as the primary means for supplying the air for combustion
Burner Natural Draft Type - ANSWER A burner that depends primarily upon the natural
draft created in the chimney or venting system to induce the air required for combustion
into the burner
Central heating Appliance - ANSWER A stationary heating appliance compromising the
following classifications: boilers, central furnaces, floor furnaces, and wall furnaces. A
floor-mounted unit heater to be connected to a duct system is classified also as a
central heating appliance.
Centralized Oil Distribution System - ANSWER A system of piping through which oil is
supplied from a separate central supply tank or tanks to more than one building, mobile
home, recreational vehicle or other structure
Certificate of Completion - ANSWER A standard form issued for use in all jurisdictions
throughout the Commonwealth.
Chimney - ANSWER Chimneys shall extend not less than 2 feet (610 mm) higher than
any portion of a building within 10 feet (3048 mm), but shall be not less than 3 feet (914
mm) above the highest point where the chimney passes through the roof.
