Russell griffiths Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 looking at this pic @Nickfromwales it was mentioned that those short copper pipes where to maintain the integrity of the fireproof layer from the plastic pipe melting in a fire in the plant room. Does this only only matter if the room above is a HABITABLE ROOM if the space above is a loft then is there any need to maintain the fire proof layer. i have had a similar situation with building control, I have a steel beam that is visible in my front room, it does not require fireproofing as it does not support a habitable area above, just a roof, as my place is a bungalow I have no habitable areas upstairs.

dnb Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I have no idea on the answer but I am very interested to know since I have a similar problem to solve in the (hopefully) near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Found the answer to my question @dnb i personally do not need any fire proof measures as it a non habitable area above. If it was a bedroom it could be different so you may need to ask bc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
