Guest Dean Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 Is it acceptable to patch repair fire batt? Please see attached. Penetrations have been cut to allow access for maintenance. Would it be acceptable to either a) reuse the section of fire batt removed if still intact b) use new fire batt - being unaware of the spec/make of the original installation. c) Pattress over Or would this be a straight rip out and new install?

Mike North Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 I would rip outs the piece of bat that has the hole in it and renew it with a fire rated hatch in case you need access again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that would be suitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike North Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Obviously remove the existing bat, install a suitable framework, then install the hatch, then make good with bat correctly around the hatch. All the above using 3rd party accredited materials and contractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
