Hi guys, Just recently found the group and thought I'd ask you guys about this. I own a heating and air business in GA and have for around 11 years now. Today I failed an inspection on a new house for having flexible duct in a basement garage. The air handler is in the garage with a metal trunk and flex take offs. We have done this on these types of houses for 11 years now and have never heard this. This is a new inspector and seems to really have a chip on his shoulders and he says no flex duct is allowed in the garage at all, that it has to all be metal. Have any of you ever heard of this? I never purchased the
2006 IMC which is what they use. It's not in my older code book but maybe it is in the new one. I now plan on buying the new code book but do you guys know if this is true or if he's mistaken? Thanks for the help, Rodney- posted
