R302.5.2 Duct penetration. Ducts in the garage and ducts
penetrating the walls or ceilings separating the dwelling
from the garage shall be constructed of a minimum No. 26
gage (0.48 mm) sheet steel or other approved material and
shall have no openings into the garage.
Jerry,
can you explain the last bolded sentence?
Also,
When the duct penetrates the firewall, is the entire duct on the garage side (for example) solid sheet metal? I asume it is for obvious reasons but want to make sure.
