Hey Nick;
6.5.3 J Commercial codes up here require that wall rails can be installed from 34"-38". Guard rails need to be at 42" in height. Possible to check this?

We dug up a bunch of codes and 36" seems to be the defacto #:
CABO 1995... 36" Fairfax County 1998... 36" ICC... 36" IRC and IBC 2003...36" And we looked at a variety of Township and Cities... all 36" Nick Gromicko, CMI Founder World's biggest, best inspection association "Planet InterNACHI... resistance is futile" |

IBC is 42" Nick.
Commercial is 42, residential (IRC) is 36" |

Would you consider a 5 or more residential unit apartment building commercial or residential?

For the purpose of this discussion, we have to re-define the "residential" inspection as one for a structure that is for "personal use" as opposed to "commercial use", or you will consitently be butting heads with IBC.

IRC- One and two Family ONLY
IBC- Three or more residential units or any other non-residential building Therefore, for purposes of a "Commercial" railing question, IBC says 42" |

Actually, if you will simply read the 2nd paragraph of the IRC and the IBC (101.2 Scope) it makes it pretty clear.
