Fire rated ceiling

[roach1521]

If a gas heater is being installed in an attic space will that make the ceiling below a fire rated ceiling? And would the recessed lights being installed in said ceiling need to be a fire rated model?

I really don't know but there are gas furnaces installed in attics all the time and I never herd of any special fixtures being needed.

I would assume the air tight fixtures will be needed.

That's what I thought I can't find anything in the code, I am going to use the air tights, I wasn't sure if a single family dwelling even has a need for fire rating

Between the garage and habitable space. Garage ceiling, the ceiling (and possibly the walls) for the utility room that contains the boiler/furnace.

It makes it a space with equipment requiring servicing.
