308.6.2 Design.
FC § 308.6.2
Stationary and portable alcohol-fueled open-flame devices installed or used in New York City shall be designed in accordance with the following requirements: 1. The device shall be constructed of metal, fire-resistant glass and/or other noncombustible material of sufficient thickness as to be capable of withstanding the heat generated by the open flames.
2.The device shall be constructed to provide protection from the flames at the maximum flame height the device is capable of generating.
3.The open flame shall be generated in a controlled manner through the use of a wick, valve or other approved method. A device that generates a flame in an uncontrolled manner is an open fire prohibited by FC 307.1.
4.The device shall have a means of manually extinguishing the flame, either by a shutoff valve, a means of manually closing the device that cuts off the supply of oxygen to the flame thereby extinguishing the flame, or other approved method. The method by which the flame is extinguished shall not require use of a battery-powered device.
5.The device shall use solid fuel or be fueled through a pump or other means of liquid fuel transfer from a container to the device without spillage. Only the type of fuel specified for the device shall be used.
6.The fuel capacity of the device shall not exceed 64 fluid ounces (1888 ml) or the equivalent in solid fuel, except as authorized by the department.
7.The device shall be listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory.
