Electrical Service Penetrations
Proven products to maintain the integrity of electrical service penetrations
All buildings have walls and floors with fire and acoustic ratings. When electrical services are installed through compartment walls and floors, their integrity and ability to perform to the required fire and acoustic standards are significantly reduced.
Electrical penetrations, such as sockets, cable trays/baskets or recessed downlights, must be protected with fire-stopping products in order to reinstate the fire rating of the wall, ceiling or floor in which it is contained, and ensure that fire and smoke are unable to spread through the penetration. Also, in some cases, there is a requirement to provide resistance to the passage of sound, e.g. floors or walls within or between dwellings (Approved Document B).
