How do you achieve a 1- or 2-hour fire-rated ceiling in a duct protection, corridor, or stair suffit without incorporating a floor/ceiling design?

This system provides fire protection for mechanical ducts and has been tested from both sides. (Refer to WHI-694-0300.1.) Single layer 5/8″ Fire-Shield or Fire-Shield C wallboard attached to the stud flanges opposite the 1″ Shaft liner panels provide one-hour fire protection when used as a corridor ceiling or stair suffix. Two layers of 1/2″ Fire-Shield C wallboard attached to the stud flanges opposite the 1″ Shaft liner provide two-hour fire pr
