Best Answer

A fire-rated assembly that should resist breakthrough for a period of one hour. An example of this type of construction is the use of 5/8-inch-thick fire-rated gypsum wallboard or a combination of wallboard and plaster. All of the electrical boxes must be metal and not plastic. Any penetrations through the assembly must be properly protected to prevent the spread of fire.
