(a) Boilers or pressure vessels located on farms and used solely for agricultural
purposes;
(b) Boilers or pressure vessels located at any oil refineries;
(c) Boilers or pressure vessels located at any utility operating under a certificate
issued pursuant to KRS 278.020, if the boilers or pressure vessels are

except that the inspection interval provided for in KRS 236.110 shall be
extended to eighteen (18) months;
(d) Steam or vapor boilers used for heating purposes carrying a pressure of not
more than fifteen (15) pounds per square inch gauge, and which are located in
private residences;
(e) Hot water heating boilers carrying a pressure of not more than thirty (30)
pounds per square inch gauge which are located in private residences or hot
water supply boilers which are located in private residences;
(f) Any unfired pressure vessels used as containers for liquefied petroleum gases
and subject to the jurisdiction of the Department of Housing, Buildings and
Construction under KRS Chapter 234;
(g) Pressure vessels used for transportation of compressed gases if constructed
and operated in compliance with specifications and regulations of another

regulations of another state or federal authority;
(i) Pressure vessels operating at a maximum pressure of fifteen (15) PSI or less;
(j) Single wall pressure vessels having an inside diameter of six (6) inches;
(k) Pressure vessels with a nominal water containing capacity of one hundred
twenty (120) gallons or less, to be used for domestic supply purposes, for
containing water under pressure, including those containing air, the
compression of which serves only as a cushion;
(l) Pressure vessels containing water heated by steam or other indirect means
when none of the following are exceeded:
1.
Heat input of two hundred thousand (200,000) BTU/Hr.;
2.
Water temperature of two hundred ten (210) degrees Fahrenheit;
3.
Water storage capacity of one hundred twenty (120) gallons;
(m) Coil type hot water boilers without a steam space and where no steam is
generated within the confines of the unit but where water flashes into steam
when released to atmospheric pressure by the operation of a manually
operated nozzle, unless one (1) of the following is exceeded:
1.
(3)
Three quarter (3/4) inch inside diameter tubing or pipe size with no
drum or header attached;
2.
Six (6) gallon water containing capacity;
3.
Three hundred fifty (350) degrees Fahrenheit water temperature;
(n) Water heaters which are directly fired with oil, gas, or electricity, when none
of the following limitations are exceeded:
1.
Heat input of two hundred thousand (200,000) BTU/Hr.;
2.
A water temperature of two hundred ten (210) degrees Fahrenheit;
3.
A water containing capacity of one hundred twenty (120) gallons;
(o) Pressure vessels which may be classified as:
1.
Pressure containers which are integral parts of components of rotating or
reciprocating mechanical devices such as pumps, compressors, turbines,
generators, engines, and hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders where the
primary design considerations or stresses are derived from the functional
requirements of the device; or
2.
Structures whose primary function is the transport of fluids from one
location to another within a system of which it is an integral part, that is,
piping system.
The fees required by KRS 236.120(1) and 236.130 shall not apply to standard and
miniature antique and hobby boiler-operated tractors and equipment used solely for
exhibition, if the boiler uses a fifty (50) pounds per square inch or less gauge.
