How to install a residential backup generator (video)

If you don't mind would you post the amendment that requires this up there as the wording might be helpful in other places.Here in NC the draft stopping is in the building code not the electrical code.

The CSST bonding is in the listing and labeling requirements of the CSST pipe and not in any code therefore outside the electrical inspectors rights to require it to be installed although when it is installed the electrical inspector must be the one to do the inspection.

it is a catch 22 as the heating inspector cannot require an electrical inspection even if it is a multi-trade inspector.

Here under chapter 3 of our Uniform Construction Code the list all the sections of the adopted codes and who is responsible to plan review and inspect. In this section the articles from the IRC and IFGC are assigned to the electrical inspector making the responsibility of the electric permit holder. As for the fireblocking we use the NEC here and that can be found

300.21 Spread of Fire or Products of Combustion. Electrical installations in hollow spaces, vertical shafts, and ventilation or air-handling ducts shall be made so that the possible spread of fire or products of combustion will not be substantially increased. Openings around electrical penetrations through fire-resistant-rated walls, partitions, floors, or ceilings shall be firestopped using approved methods to maintain the fire resistance rating.

The IRC specifically has a CSST bonding requirement so it is beyond the manufacturer's requirement.

Section R109 says to notify the permit holder of anything that is not in compliance not just leave it to everyone to sort out.G2411 is the requirement for bonding of CSST piping found in the Fuel Gas section of the IRC.

I am discussing the NEC although it seems that there are a lot of ICC people on this forum. I also thought that Florida adopted the NEC as their electrical code, am I incorrect about this?
