Title: Fire dampers - Australian building code
Post by: shaunmckeever on July 31, 2013, 10:33:20 AM

Hi all.

Does anyone know the Australian requirements for installing fire dampers in ventilation ducts? This is for a hotel where intumescent dampers are being proposed in walls separating corridor from guest room. I am advising smoke activated dampers but being told that intumescent is ok under Australian code. I would be surprised but don't know for certain.

Thanks
Shaun
