Where exactly must the switch governed by Paragraph 10.5.1.1 be located?
As stated, the switch must be located near the entrance of the room where the oil-fired appliance is located. The intent is that the switch be on the opposite side of the entrance from the appliance, so that the door need not be opened in an emergency situation to operate the switch. For the typical basement installation, the switch would be installed outside the door leading to the basement stairway. If the appliance is installed in a room in the basement, the switch could be installed outside the entrance door to the room.
