No Codes

Building code?

I'm remodeling a restaurant. I noticed the old sheetrock was all 5/8" Type X (fire-resistant). Is that a building code for every interior wall, or just around gas water heaters and such?

1. your best bet to ck with the fire dept
2. the code is for any wall that will be around water (such as showers, tubs, and between the garage and house
