Hope that helps, John Drucker Jr CET Fire Protection Subcode Official Fire/Building/Electrical Inspector Borough of Red Bank, NJ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Leyton Sent: Monday, July 19, 2010 1:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Egress travel distance - 13R - 13 upgrade? Can anyone (Drucker) help me with this: I have hazy recall of a provision in the building code that if egress travel distance in a dwelling unit is more than a threshold distance (100', I think) from the egress system, then the design has to be upgraded to a full 13. There are several of these little switches buried in the I-code for multi-family residential, such as a 13 upgrade that will allow unprotected openings to be tabulated for area as if they were protected (704.8.1), but I can't find this one. Or maybe I imagined it?
