The purpose of Fire-resisting Ductwork
Ductwork can be designed and constructed to resist the passage of fire arising from either inside or outside the ductwork. However ducts carrying air are often left unprotected and designers anticipate that fire could penetrate the duct.
This is not a problem when the building is fire-compartmented except where the duct passes through a compartment wall or floor. The fire should be either arrested at the wall or floor or contained within the ductwork to prevent it spreading to the adjacent compartment.
Where the protection of the fire cannot be achieved using conventional fusible link fire dampers, the ductwork system in this case must be fire-resisting.
