Equipment bollard in a residential garage we have a minimum 36 inch high 2 schedule 40 iron pipe embedded in the garage slab Here is the citation from the international residential code (irc) We also have two alternates that are wheel stops and pipes bolted to the floor for retrofits

99% of the time we see the schedule 40 pipe embedded in the concrete.
Codes do not permit duct openings in a residential attached garage, for obvious reasons
I ran across one yesterday where it appears that the contractor is placing an air handler in a garage under living space In the picture provided, i would say that is still a single portal frame opening I think the intent was to prevent two portal frames immediately adjacent to each other using a common header I would not interpret measuring from overhang
Any other comments on that I'll probably stay 5' back The area where the two structure meet is only about 30 of wall length, but there is a window in the garage in that 30. I do not see anywhere in the irc 2015 that requires a step from the garage into the house
I saw the opening penetrations r302.5 & garage section r309
Is the step still a requirement and if so is there a minimum dimension? Parking garages, other than private garages, shall be classified as public parking garages and shall comply with the provisions of sections 406.4.2 through 406.4.8 and shall be classified as either an open parking garage or an enclosed parking garage. This was an existing empty space above the garage They don't want a landing on top of the stairway that goes to this space.
The stairway is being built in the garage but will have a wall built. The requirement for the 18 elevation of an ignition source in a private garage applies to any appliance capable of generating a spark, flame or glow due to heat We commonly apply this standard to only gas appliances but an electric spark from a motor or switch offers the same concern Irc the building code requires that a garage floor be sloped towards the door, but does not specify a minimum slope
It is usually 1/8” to 1/4” per foot
