Hello everyone, I failed a final inspection and one of the issues was fire rings on a combustable surface for receptacles, switches and lights. the code is 314.20. I installed the boxes before the homeowner decided to add cedar shakes to the walls on the deck and front porch. This set my boxes in about 1/4 in recessed. do I just need plastic box extenders? Is there such a creature as a fire ring for plastic boxes?Or, do I add a fire retardant foam barrier that fits behind the plate, or fixture? Where the electrical panel is located, the home owner put paneling which recessed the panel. Instead of using longer screws they cut around the panel door to recess it as well. will i need to move the panel out to be flush with the paneling? Thanks in advance for your help.
