Maybe I'm off-topic, but I don't want to call my local FM and appear not to know the very stuff I put on the drawings.
A comment sheet came back asking for a detail of "UL 2079" to be placed on the A sheets.
I have looked in all my UL books and can't find such a critter.

Anyone out there know what this is, or better yet have a detail? (revit or acad)

Thanks in advance.

Okay, so are my orange books out of date, or am I?

I think what you've described is a test method - not an assembly. There are many assemblies that would meet this test criteria.

Thanks for your help. The building official still wants a "detail" (something drawn).
So I am going with my hat in my hand, play dumb, and ask "what is it that you would like to see on the drawing?"

Again, thanks for your help.
