Reinstatement to penetrations cut in Fire Batt

[Guest Dean]

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?

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

Fire rated hatch fixed to fire batt? I don't think that would be suitable.

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 3^rd party accredited materials and contractors.
