Section IInterpretation: Section I, Preamble, Definition of Connection to BoilerQuestion: The fourth paragraph of the Preamble defines the point where boiler external piping begins in terms of where the boiler proper terminates at, as follows:

(a) the first circumferential joint for welding end connections; or(b) the face of the first flange in bolted flanged connections; or(c) the first threaded joint in that type of connection; and which extends up to and including the valve or valves required by this Code.

In the case of boilers where the connection contains one or more fittings between the boiler and final point of connection (e.g. welding neck, elbow or tee), must the Manufacturer list the first of any circumferential weld joint, flange face, or threaded joint as the connection on the Manufacturer’s Data Report?Reply:No, one or more fittings may exist between the boiler and external piping provided the Manufacturer defines where the boiler proper terminates and BEP begins.
