Residential Code of Ohio Sec. 308.4 Hazardous locations #5

[KZQuixote]

Does this section require safety glazing whenever a window is within 60" vertically of the drain and 36" horizontally of the inside edge of the bath tub?

"... Glazing in any part of a building wall enclosing these compartments where the bottom exposed edge is less that 60" above the drain inlet and 36" horizontally from the inside edge of the tub or compartment."

TIA

That would be how I would see it....differs from our requirements...

That would be how I read it. The IRC requires 60" horizontally to get away from safety glazing.

Thanks guys! The section I quoted was from the 2006 Residential Code of Ohio so they were actually ahead of the ICC with this requirement.
