SUMMARY
You should familiarize yourself with all stayed surface requirements
when completing calculations. The ones listed below, are the ones I
found most important when completing questions.

PFT-22 Stayed Surfaces page 95 The rules Parts PG and PW

pertaining to stays and stayed surfaces that are applicable to
firetube boilers shall be used in conduction with the following
requirements.
PG-46.2 page 27 The minimum thickness of plates to which stays
may be applied, in other than cylindrical or spherical outer shell
plates, shall be 5/16 in. (8mm), except for welded construction
covered by PW-19.
PG-46.5 page 27 The maximum pitch shall be 8 1/2 in. (215mm)
except that for welded-in stay bolts the pitch may be greater

provided it does not exceed 15 times the diameter of the staybolt.

What other requirements do you find important when completing How
