Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that certain service equipment
that penetrates fire-rated assemblies will contribute to the growth and spread
of fire within the assemblies, which could lead to a structural failure and
collapse of the assemblies, which could lead to damage to the building.
Intent 2: To limit the probability that certain service equipment
that penetrates fire-rated assemblies--which also form a fire separation--will
contribute to the growth and spread of fire within the assemblies, which could
lead to a loss of integrity of the assemblies, which could lead to the spread
of fire and smoke from one fire compartment to another fire compartment, which
could lead to damage to the building in the other fire compartment.
