I have a typical NFPA 13 designed apartment building where there are combustible concealed spaces created by the frame out of the tub / shower units.
Many of these are about 1.5SF but are more than 6in from the inside face of the studs. A building inspector is asking either for sprinkler protection or insulation in each. I know these do not contain any pipes but why would they be any different that a vertical pipe chase as described in 8.15.1.2.14? Could the 55sf rule of 8.15.1.2.9 be applied in these cases?
