Hello,
I have a customer that installed round non-metallic Carlon floor boxes into concrete (above grade if that matters). The inspector is claiming that these boxes cannot be used because they do not carry a fire rating. The boxes are sunk into the floor but do not penetrate through the floor. Is there any validity to what the inspector is saying? If not, where in the code can I find documentation that a fire rating is not required for floor boxes that do not penetrate the floor? If what he is saying IS valid then what options do I have to fire rate what is already installed i.e. foam, caulk, etc.
Thanks for your help,
Logan
