Mark,
>From what I see, the 8” lintel is a ‘minimum’ depth. Greater than 8” should >be an added bonus. So there is no need for a door with a minimum 8” lintel. >I think you are thinking correctly on this.

My train of thought 3.3.22 Defines small room and uses the term "compartment" 3.3.6 Defines compartment as being permitted to having opening to adjoining spaces Therefore Small rooms as defined by 3.3.22 can have openings as defined in 3.3.6 to adjoining spaces and do not need to be enclosed with a door in order to take advantages of small room rule I need some thoughts from the group Please Thanks in advance Mark Phillips Vice President of Fire Protection , Kirlin Carolinas, LLC t: <tel:919-526-1584> 919-526-1584 | m: <tel:919-610-0490> 919-610-0490 <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] | <https://kirlingroup.com/> https://kirlingroup.com 8000 Brownleigh Dr , Raleigh , NC 27617 <https://twitter.com/KirlinGroup> <https://www.facebook.com/kirlinllc> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/133201/> <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KirlinCarolinaSurvey> <https://www.kirlingroup.com/join-our-team-careers/#opportunity> <https://kirlingroup.com/> --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
