Question

Is it the intent of section 502 that one broken panel of an existing two panel sliding glass door in a hazardous location can be replaced without requiring the unbroken panel to be replaced with tempered glass?

Answer Published 03/18/2015 at 8:54 AM

If, when the original sliding glass door was installed,
tempered glass was not required by the building code then
the unbroken panel can remain as is.
