Guest Jenner Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 I live in a building converted into flats, on the basement level there is an electrical cupboard which I believe should have fire rated doors and frames. There is also a full size cupboard which contains the water stopcock for each flat, there is nothing else in this cupboard. These cupboards are on the communal corridor for 2 flats, which do have other means of fire exit. Should the water stopcock cupboard have fire rated doors and frame.

Tom Sutton Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 No, what would be the fire risk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 If it's just water & soil pipework and is fire stopped where required (e..g between floors) then it can be argued they don't need the same protection as the electrical cupboard.
