2021 IWUIC roof-profile eave-closure path
The unamended 2021 IWUIC requires profile spaces at roof eave ends to block flame and ember entry or use the named cap-sheet path.
A closure product addresses only the eave-end space. The roof class, deck, firestopping or cap sheet, fastening, geometry, project scope, and local amendments remain checks.
Published requirement text
“the space at the eave ends shall be firestopped to preclude entry of flames or embers”
