2018 Table R302.1

[Francis Vineyard]

So it now clarifies rake instead of eaves for the gable end wall, but what about the gable vent in accordance with footnote b?

Clarify the vent is permitted where openings are allowed within the FSD when the rake is of FRTW or 1-hr. rated construction on the underside?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Thank you

Fire does not mean fire code

Building code item??

Just like there is no “Fire” exit

If there's a gable vent what good does do to have the rake of fire-resistance construction?

Unprotected openings permitted includes the gable vent.

That clears things up. Thanks!
