Furnace room ceiling
Dear Mr. Best:
Reference is made to your letter of January 23, 1984 and to Mr. Millers letter
of January 30, 1984.
It is evident from Mr. Millers letter that the furnace room ceiling is not
constructed according to U.L. Design No. L511. The design that was used,
namely two layers of 5/8" sheetrock separated by a channel, does not to my
knowledge form a rated 2 -hour assembly. I also call attention to the letter
of December 23, 1983 by Plan Examiner James Smith; " You are also reminded
that these double "C" joists are not approved as a substitute for wood framing
required for the 2 -hour ceiling assembly of the mechanical equipment room."
I have spoken to Mr. Smith personally and he informs me that the assembly as
built, even with the two layers of sheetrock, is not approved by him as a
rated 2 -hour assembly,
Due to the above circumstances we feel we have no good choice but to withold
final approval of the building until we receive written documentation that
the furnace room ceiling as constructed meets state requirements.
If I can be of assistance, please call me at 236 -5051, during the hours of
8:00 -9:00 a.m. or 1 :00 -2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Sincerely,
