Criterion 6.5.19 Penetration Through Fire-Rated Assemblies

Criterion text:
Penetrations through fire-rated assemblies etc. shall not reduce the building's fire resistance required by local codes, ordinances and applicable standards.

Comments:
Installers must follow the manufacturer's SRCC approved installation instructions.

Installer must also be aware of local codes that apply to this criterion. If in doubt, check with local building department officials during the permitting process.

If building component penetrations such as the ceiling penetrations shown below are questionable in regards to fire-rated assemblies, the installer should check with the local building department official.
