FLOOR OR WALL FURNACES

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has issued the following
interpretation concerning floor or wall furnaces:
“The Board has expressed the view th a t a floor or wall furnace which
transm its heat to a room from a recess in which the furnace is located
and which is installed as a perm anent part of the realty, is not a space
heater, even though the heat is not transm itted by means of pipes or
ducts. The reference to ‘space heaters’ in the interpretation published a t
p. 1310 of the 1950 Federal Reserve Bulletin and 15 Federal Register
6630, October 3, 1950 does not include such furnaces. Accordingly, when
sold for installation in an existing residential building, a floor or wall
furnace as described herein constitutes a listed article under Group D,
P art 1, of the Supplem ent to the regulation.”
