Service Penetrations in
60 Minute Plasterboard Ceilings
Approvals for service penetrations in fire-rated plasterboard ceilings are limited across the market, however, Trafalgar Fire has a range of system approvals that are tested specifically for plasterboard ceilings to AS1530.4:2014 with RISF ratings.
At Trafalgar Fire, we have a wide range of passive fire systems available for Service Penetrations In Plasterboard Ceilings. All of our systems have been extensively fire tested at independent fire test laboratories ensuring strict compliance with the National Construction Code.
Our tested systems are approved for ceilings constructed of a minimum of 1 x 13mm & 1 x 16mm of fire-rated plasterboard. This specification will achieve a full -/60/60 with 60min of RISF performance, for all listed services in the technical manual. These approvals can also be applied to thicker ceilings, such as 2 x 16mm plasterboard or even 3 x 16mm plasterboard, for the same FRL performance. For -/120/120 approvals refer to the 2-Hour Ceiling Penetrations Applications Page.
