Is there another code section besides IBC 705.8 for openings, addresses the top refuse chute "vent" distance from the property line?
I have been installing trash chutes in high rises for 30 years.north star, thanks for re-iterating my suspicion.
The RDP reference NFPA 82 for venting chutes, but the IBC and IMC does not reference NFPA except for incinerators (2009 & 2015).
Just wanted to be certain there's not a requirement to vent in the IBC in accordance with NFPA that I may be missing. It would really help if a vent can be in a pit or well below the main roof line to work around the historic zoning ordinance.
Thanks for your guidance.
