Firestopping for Small-Diameter Metal and Plastic Pipes: Necessary?

❓Firestopping for Small-Diameter Metal and Plastic Pipes: Necessary?
There is a long-standing myth in the construction industry that plastic pipes with an internal diameter of 40mm or less, and metal pipes with a diameter of 160mm or less, do not need to be firestopped where they penetrate compartment walls and floors.
However, with years of fire testing experience, we know that additional service penetration sealing elements are required to maintain the fire rating of walls and floors when testing to current test standards - no matter how small the penetrating service is.
