Considered,
discussed and made recommendations for
DS2014-086 by Joe Hetzel of DASMA TAC Actions: Question 1: If a vent is installed in the door, is the state
approval still valid if the approval does not include allowance for a vent? Answer: No, installation of the vent in the door in question is
considered modification to the said approval. The state approval would not be
valid because the product was approved based on specific testing and
evaluation/limitation of use which did not include the allowance for a
vent. However, modifications to the product in question can be
made per F.S. 553.8425 (3), if such modifications are acceptable to the
building official and substantiated through sufficient evidence submitted to
the local building official to demonstrate compliance with the code or the
intent of the code, including such evidence as certifications from a Florida
registered architect or Florida professional engineer. Question 2: Is there any difference in the answer to #1 above for a
door involving a vent for flood control versus a vent for air ventilation? Answer: No. Also, see answer to question #1 Question 3: Does the size of the vent itself make a difference in the
answer to Question #1? Answer: No. Also, see answer to question #1. |
