A Guide to Firestopping: Getting It Right for the Future

Get a special inspector whenever you can:

1705.1.1 Special Cases​


Special inspections and tests shall be required for proposed work that is, in the opinion of the building official, unusual in its nature, such as, but not limited to, the following examples:
  1. Construction materials and systems that are alternatives to materials and systems prescribed by this code.
  2. Unusual design applications of materials described in this code.
  3. Materials and systems required to be installed in accordance with additional manufacturer's instructions that prescribe requirements not contained in this code or in standards referenced by this code.
It is no guarantee, but hopefully they can get someone smarter than you or at least with more time on their hands....
