Workman Mill Road <br /> Whittier, California 90601 <br /> Re: Code Interpretation <br /> Dear sir: <br /> Section 802(c) of the UBC requires sYorage and janitor <br /> cZosets to be of one-hour fire-resistive in Group E <br /> Occupancies. Also, Section 4304(e) requires openings <br /> to be protected per Section 4306. However, Section 4305 <br /> does not specify a minimum acceptable fire rating for a <br /> door assembly in one-hour fire-resistive construction. <br /> Is it proper to assume the intent of Section 802(c) is to <br /> proviAe a one-hour occupancy separation and therefore <br /> require a one-hour rated door assembly? <br /> Also, if we acsume that the storage or janitor room is <br /> an exterior room with only one wall common to the <br /> Gronp E occupancy and a door opening to the exterior, <br /> does the entire room have to be one-hour fire-resistive <br /> construction with protected opening, or only the wmmon <br /> wall with t:�e Group E occupancy as in an occ�pancy <br /> separation7 <br /> On another matter, we are starting to see fireplac�=_s <br /> manufactuzed by American Heartland that burn gelled <br /> grain alcohol with no chimney (see enclosed brochsre) . <br /> The units carry a tag listing approval by Ferralab Engineers. <br /> We have no information on either the manufacturer or listing <br /> agency. We would appreciate any information you can give <br /> us regarding ICBO's position on these appliances. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> t / <br /> / <br /> �./ <br /> DB:jm <br /> Enclosure (1) <br />
