Mr. Gary Klein
1115 Centennial Boulevard
Springfield, Oregon 97477
Dear Mr. Klein:
At your request a housing inspection was conducted at 1115 Centennial Boulevard,
Springfield, Oregon, on February 11, 1~81. The inspection revealed that a wood
burning stove/fireplace has been installed without any record of a permit having
been issued or any inspections having been made on its installation. There are
several problems with the stove installation along with a few other items that
are listed below.
The following items must be installed, repaired, replaced, to conform to the
Uniform Housing Code (UHC) as adopted by the City of Springfield and the current
State Structural Specialty Codes (OSSC):
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The electrical system has been improperly altered and maintained and constitutes
hazardous wiring as described in Section 1001 (d) of the Uniform Housing Code as
adopted by the City of Springfield. Although the existing electrical system may
have met the standards of the code that was in effect at the time of its installation,
alterations, and/or improper maintenance require corrections to be made in accordance
with both the Uniform Housing Code as adopted by the' City of Springfield and the
current Oregon Electrical Specialty Code (ESC). Oregon Electrical Safety Law Section
22-110 (b) states that electrical work performed on property that is for rent, sale,
or lease, shall be done by an electrical contractor.
1. Install not less than a 150 amper capacity service panel and equipment.
OESS 230-79.
2. Due to lack of required space for the service panel within the residence, the
new installation shall be installed outside, opposite the existing equipment.
OESS 110-16.
STRUCTURAL AND FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY
1. The wood burning stove/fireplace must be installed as per the enclosed copy of the
Mechanical Specialty Code (MSC).
Please note, that if you use your 4 inch brick, spaced 1 inch from the wall, open
on the both sites and top, you can use Table 5-8 (MSC) for reduced clearances.
Figure #1, Table 5-8 shows how far you must extend the brick to each side of and
above the stove.
Woodstove/fireplace inspection
page 2.
The approved use of the triple wall chimney required a minimum of 2 inches of clearance
to any combustible material.
2. After the stove is set in accordance to item #1, the hearth must extend a minimum of
6 inches on each side and 18 inches in front of the stove as per footnote #12 B of
"Footnotes To Table #5 A" (MSC).
3. Approved supports and headers must be provided for the 2" X 4" rafter that was cut
when the chimney was extended through the roof.
4. A duct is required from the new exhaust fan to the exterior of the building. MSC
Section 1104 (c).
5. The bedroom windows must open freely. UHC Section 801.
Permits are required for the stove installation and the electrical work required. These
permits msut be obtained from this office before work is started. Inspections must be
called for and approved before any work is covered.
Please direct all inquiries to the Springfield Building Division at 726-3753.
Sincerely,

I When appliances are installed in large rooms these standard. clearances may be reduced by affording protection to combustible material in accordance with Table No. 5-
8, See Footnote 3 below.
t An appliance may be mounted on a combustible floor if the appliance is listed for installation on a combustible floor, or if the floor is protected in an approved manner.
'Rooms which are large in comparison to the size of the appliance are those having 8 volume equal to at least 12 times the total volume of a furnace and at least 16 times
the total volume of a boiler. If the actual ceiling height of a room is greater than 8 feet, the volume of a room shall be figured on the basis of a ceiling height of 8 feet.
"The minimum dimension should be that necessary for servicing the appliance including access for cleaning and nonnal care, tube removal, etc,
&For a listed oil, combination gaa-oil, gas or electric furnace this dimension may be 2 inches if the furnace limit control cannot be set higher than 250"'F., orthis dimension
may be 1 inch if the limit control cannot be set higher than 200"'F" or the appHance shall be marked to indicate that the outlet air temperature cannot exceed 200"'F,
8The dimension may be 6 inches for an automatically stoker-tired forced wBnn.air furnace equipped with 250"'F. limit control and with barometric draft control operated
by draft intensity and permanently set to limit draft to a maximum intensity of O.13~inch water gage.
'To combustible material or metal cabinets, If the underside of such combustible material or metal cabinet is protected with asbestos milJboard at least ~ inch thick
covered with sheet metal of not less than No. 28 gage, the distance may be not less than 24 inches.
IlClearance above charging door should be not less than 48 inches.
'If the appliance is encased in brick, the 18-inch clearance above and at sides and rear may be reduced to not less than 12 inches.
lOll the appliance is encased in brick, the clearance above may be not less than 36 inches and at sides and rear may be not less than 18 inches.
IJ Steampipes and hot-water heating pipes shall be installed with a clearance of at least 1 inch to all combustible constroction or material, except that at the points where
pipes carrying steam or hot water at not over 15 pounds gage pressure emerge from a floor, waH or ceiling, the clearance at the opening through the finish floor boards or
wall ceiling boards may be reduced to not less than 'Ail inch. Each such opening shall be covered with a plate of noncombustible material,
Such pipes pasaing through stock shelving shall be covered with not less than 1 inch of approved insulation.
Wood boxes or casings enclosing uninsulated steam or hot-water heating pipes or wooden covers to recesses in walls in which such uninsulated pipes are placed shall be
lined with metal or asbestos millboard.
Where the temperature of the boiler piping does not exceed 160"'F" the provisions of this tabl~ shall not apply.
Coverings or insulation used on steam or hot~water pipes shall be of material suitable for the operating temperature of the system, The insulation or jackets shall be of
noncombustible materials, or the insulation or jackets and lap-seal adhesives shall be tested as a composite product. Such composite pnxiuct shall have a flame-spread
rating of not more than 25 and a smoke-developed rating not to exceed 50 when tested in accordance with V.B.C. Standard No. 42-l.
12 A. Heating appliances set on legs or simulated legs which provide Jess than 4 inches open space under the fire chamber shall have hollow masonry not less than 4 inches
in thickness covered with sheet metal not less than No, 24 U.S. gage laid over the combustible floor. The masonry will be laid with ends unsealed and joints matched in
such a way as to provide free circulation of air from side to side through the masonry. The floor protection shall extend 12 inches on all sides and rear of the appliance
except that at least 18 inches are required on the appliance opening side or sides.
B. Heating appliances set on legs or simulated legs which provide 4 inches or more open space under the fire chambe'r shall have a minimum floor protection beneath the
fire chamber not less than % inch millboard. metal, tile or other noncombustible material. The protection shall extend 6 inches on each side and rear of appliance except
that at least 18 inches are required on the appliance opening side or sides. This protection shall be installed on the subfloor or Cinished floor.
