What code covers boilers?

1. Building code

2. Electrical code

3. ASME code

4. Plumbing code

The correct answer is: ASME code

The ASME code covers boilers because it is the set of regulations and guidelines for the design, construction, and maintenance of boilers. Building code, electrical code, and plumbing code may have some overlap in regulating certain aspects of boilers, but they do not specifically cover boilers in their entirety like the ASME code does. For example, building code may address the safety and structural requirements for a boiler room, but may not cover the specific design and construction requirements for the boiler itself. Similarly, electrical code may address the wiring and electrical components associated with a boiler, but does not cover the overall design and construction of the boiler. Plumbing code may have guidelines for connecting a boiler to a plumbing system, but does not cover the technical requirements for the boiler itself as the ASME code does. Therefore, C is the most accurate and specific answer.
