At a preliminary punch out of a job, I discovered that the plumbing contractor had run the main sprinkler pipe through my main electric room. The proposed solution was to soffit around the pipe with 2 hour rated gype board.

I'm not so sure I'm comfortable with this. Circumstances are such however, that if it's within code, I'm going to have to live with it. Would very much appreciate your input.

Thanks,

Mike
