Dry Cleaner Boiler Room Wall Fire rating
Dry Cleaner Boiler Room Wall Fire rating
(OP)
Hi,
What is the required wall fire rating for the boiler room of a dry cleaner shop? How about the wall rating for the entire store. I am working on the MEP for construction of a dry cleaner as a finishout inside of an existing shell building. Shell building is brand new. Has fire sprinkler also.
Thanks,

Any penetrations of that wall would need to have a UL assembly listing equal to the code requirement.
Whoever is doing the code review needs to determine the occupancy separation which is also a function of what kind of space is next to you. There is generally both a smoke and fire requirement.

Your building is protected by an automatic sprinkler system. You should confirm that it complies with NFPA 13. If so, no separation is required.
