Building inspector came to job today for a rough framing inspection.
My electrical rough in was approved last week.
He says that CarlonZip boxes are not rated for use in a wall that is garage space on one side and living space on the other.He referred to as a 1 hr rated firewall. I'm not sure that's the correct name for it.
At any rate he failed the inspection and said I need a different style outlet box or use a putty pad and wrap it.
The box is stamped on the inside 2hr.
Unless it's something new I've never had this called out in a single family dwelling ever.
Multi unit common wall I know has stipulations.
Replies welcome.
