I have an existing A-3 Occupancy ( church ) that is proposing to do some remodeling
/ alterations to some of their interior spaces. The plans show a new, 1 hr. fire rated
corridor with a 1 hr. rated ceiling, as well as, 1 hr. rated walls.
The plans indicated emt conduit, emt boxes, emergency light ( battery pack type )
fixtures and fluorescent type fixtures installed into the rated corridor assemblies.
QUESTION #1: Do ya'll actually check the type of components being installed in
to these type of rated assemblies, ..on the plans AND in the field?
QUESTION #2: Is the emt type of conduit and boxes approved ( rated ) for
installation into fire rated assemblies?
I am researching the emergency light and the fluorescent lighting fixtures for info.
Any info & experience from ya'll, on these type of components, will be appreciated!
Thanks!
