On a 2hr fire barrier, if you're using exception #3 under IBC 707.6 (to rate door same as wall in order to exceed 25% limit), what if any is the size limit for the door vision panel? It seems like since table 716.5 is allowing a 100 sq. in. panel in a 2hr wall when the opening is minimum 90min, that 100 sq. in is ok. Can a larger panel be used if it's tested/listed as a 2hr opening protective?
The exception was specific to 'fire-resistance rating', which leads me to 716.5.8.1.1 instead of 716.5.8.1.2, which indicates the glazing's got to be iaw the table... but the table doesn't give any increase in area when the door has a higher rating than the table indicated.
