The following is a summary of the interpretation: Section 501.5, Florida Building Code, Mechanical Volume (2001) requires that the exhaust ducts in the Petitioners project be constructed of metal in accordance with Chapter 6 of the Mechanical Volume since the Code is clear with regard to the prohibition of installation of non-metallic exhaust ducts under the circumstances described in the petition.
