Tip #1: To find a specific UL design, enter exact UL number within box: "Fire Resistive Design."
Tip #2: To find several like designs, click on "Numbering Information..." (within the Fire Resistive Design area) then within table click on item to search. For example, to search for roof/ceiling wood truss design systems in the "L" row for construction click on Gypsum Board Column 500 -599 for ratings of gypsum board construction. Then if list is too large, click on "Refine Your Search " to narrow down the number of selections.
