****The city requires that no conduit be ran through any 3' fire access path ways. Use internal conduit runs with discretion**** ~~ ** **~~Per building official, staff, Imperial Beach _ **does not strictly require conduit to be ran through the attic**_. The only restriction they had was to not run our conduit through any of the 3' fire accesses on the roof. Use internal conduit runs with discretion. Flat roof homes (anything below 2:12) with or without parapet walls do not required internally ran conduit. CONDUIT TO BE RUN IN ATTIC @ 18" MINIMUM BELOW ROOF DECKING
- Electrical Diagram
Conduits may not pass through the fire accessways so most of the conduit should be located in the attic space 18” or more below the roof deck.
