Fire Rated Systems

Penetrations · Mixed services

Can different services share one fire-stopped opening?

Short answer

Sometimes, but only where the supporting system evidence covers the combined arrangement. A mixed-service opening cannot be justified by placing several unrelated single-service products into the same opening.

What to do next

Send the tag, the schedule reference, the drawings you have and photographs of the actual condition. We will tell you what they show, what they cannot, and what else is needed before anyone gives a conclusion.

General information only. A conclusion about a specific condition requires the actual construction, the evidence behind it and the site condition to be reviewed.
