Comment on Spray Paint Booth Codes and Regulations by Standard Tools

NFPA-33, OSHA 1910.107 and IFC state that a booth should at least 36″ away from a 1-hr rated wall. This implies that the booth can be closer to a wall rated over one hour. Not all inspectors interpret the code in this manner; they want to see at least 36″ from any wall. If you do wish to place the booth closer to the wall there can be no electrical devices, outlets or wiring within that 36″ that does not meet Class 1/Div II or better code.

There are no federal requirements about how close the duct can be to a wall. There are requirements about the discharge point being 6-ft above the adjacent roofline. Most areas also require the duct to be at least 30-ft from a property line. Your local commercial/industrial HVAC contractor should know the codes that apply in your area.

What is the closest that I can put the spray booth to a concrete wall of an industrial building. I thought it was 3 feet from the wall…is that true? And the exhaust duct…it’s 4 1/2 feet from the wall…is that ok?
