A watertube boiler is one in which the products of combustion pass around the outside and heat tubes containing the water. A new boiler would be able to meet the code with a float style low water cutoff as long as it has a manual reset and lockout feature.
If maintenance has been done on the water side of a watertube boiler all tools which were taken into the boiler should be checked off as removed, to ensure that nothing has fallen into a water tube. This interferes with heat transfers and may cause hot spots. These tees are necessary for proper cleaning and servicing of the boiler. Scale is equivalent to having a thin film of insulation between the furnace table 21.
