Building fnspector/Plans Examiner <br /> City of Zephyrhills <br /> 5335 8th St. <br /> Zephyrhills FI 33542 <br /> From: )eff Stavish fmailto:jstavish@lifestyleremodeling.com] <br /> Sent:Thursday, September 06, 2012 1:30 PM <br /> To: Kalvin Switrer <br /> Cc: Bill Burgess; csulker@lifestyleremodeling.com <br /> Subject: Ruling on Sunroom Electric Requirements <br /> Kalvin, <br /> RE: Permit for: Selma Ann Haynes-602416`h St Zephyrhills, FL 33542 <br /> I have attached the 3 page ruling from the State of Florida Building Commission that I am certain will clear up <br /> the issue of receptacles/electric in category II sunrooms. <br /> Summary of finding: <br /> 3. Section 7.7.2, AAMA/NPEA/NSA 2100 (2002), provides: <br /> Receptacle Outlets: Receptacle outlets in Category IV and V sunrooms <br /> must be installed such that no space along a wall line is in excess of 1.8 m <br /> (6 ft.)from a receptacle outlet. Any wal) space that is 610 mm (24 in.) or <br /> wider must be served by a receptacle outlet in this manner. Fixed panels of <br /> sliding doors are not considered wall line. Where the installation of a <br /> typical wall receptacle outlet is not possible, a floor receptacle installed <br /> within 460 mm (18 in.) of the wall line may be installed to serve this <br /> space. <br /> Excep#ion: Category I, li and I11 sunrooms are exempt from requirements <br /> for receptacle o�tlets. <br /> 5. Section 102.1, FBC Building, states that "[w]here, in any specific case, different sections of <br /> this code specify different materials, methods of construction or other requirements,the most restrictive <br /> shall govern. Where there is a conflict between a general requirement and a specific requirement,the <br /> specific requirement shall be applicable." <br /> 6. Based upon the foregoing,the Commission concludes that AAMA 2100 is more specific than <br /> NFPA 70 with regard to the definit�on of sunrooms and the placement of receptacle outlets,and <br /> therefore in according to Section 102.1 of the FBC, Building,and AAMA 2100's provisions prevail <br /> over NFPA 70 with regard to the subject in question. <br /> Please let me know when this permit can be picked up, as I will need to send someone back again. <br /> Thanks, <br /> Jeff Stavish <br /> z <br />
