SWA in coffee shop

Northern Spark

I need to run some SWA, surface mount on a wall in a coffee shop through two rooms, prep room and roasting room. I would think the rooms are part of the fire escape route. Do I need to use fire resistant fixings? If so, how many per metre to satisfy 'to prevent premature collapse'? As I might use them in addition to ordinary cleats. I can't seem to find an ACOP on this.

    Is this overhead, or on a  wall, screws in a wall angled slightly down are far less likely to come out, even with plastic wall-plugs softening, than ones that screw upward. In terms of how many, imagine how far it would drop if you removed one, then two. When you reach the point where it droops to near head height you no longer have enough so put a few back...

    My thoughts exactly! If you leave out a clip and it does not droop, the clip may not have been necessary. However, I shall stick by my couple of feet - if it looks neat and tidy, it is neat and tidy.

    There is a world of difference between cables along a wall and cables across a ceiling or doorway. The latter are much more likely to entrap an escapee or fire-fighter.
