sheets of ¾-inch fire-rated (fire retardant) “AC” plywood to meet applicable codes. The “A” side of the plywood must be exposed. The plywood must be mounted on the wall vertically, 10-inches off the floor and extended up to the ceiling or 106-inches (8’-10”) from the floor, whichever is lower. The plywood must be installed in full 8-foot by 4-foot sheets, where possible. All plywood must be painted with two coats of light colored paint on all exposed surfaces, leaving at least one example of the fire retardant stamp on the plywood exposed.
