Can You Live Without Them? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Don Lowry Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 1:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: sprinkler escutcheons and rated ceilings Forumites, We have one of those overzealous inspectors from Dept of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) TX who all of a sudden decides that the holes in the UL Listed recessed (RASCO FP) escutcheon somehow nullifies the rated ceiling construction in Nursing Homes. Even with the listing bulletins. I understand that the holes are how the sprinkler got its rating, but anyone have a quick document thats states the obvious?
