CODE UPDATE: Significant Code Changes to the 2009 International Building Code | ||||||
A modification to fasteners in preservative-treated and fire-retardant-treated wood (Section 2304.9.5) has been made to the 2009 International Building Code (IBC). The requirements for fasteners used in preservative-treated and fire-retardant-treated wood have been clarified to eliminate confusion between the code requirements and the manufacturer's recommendations. Nails, timber rivets, wood screws and lag screws used in SBX/DOT and zinc borate preservative-treated wood in an interior, dry environment are not required to be hot dipped galvanized. |

The Significant Changes to the 2009 International Codes series has been developed by the International Code Council and published by Delmar, Cengage Learning to accommodate the transition from the 2006 to the 2009 editions of the International Codes. |
