[QUOTE="phil d, post: 506026, member: 27126"] This made me laugh, I remember some years ago when they started producing fireproof boards, I was at an elex and a manufacturer was showing me a board it had glands for the holes in the top of the board but nothing for the large knockout in the rear. When I asked about sealing this I was told it wasn't needed, I then asked why and was told, 'well the fire won't come out of the back'. I said that I accepted that if the board was mounted on a brick wall then ok, but what it if it was mounted on a stud wall? He still insisted that the fire would not escape through the large hole in the back, I laughed at that point and replied that most of the places I worked at didn't have well behaved intelligent fires that did as they were told. lol [/QUOTE]
