Penetration through steel protection coatings
If an HSS or pipe section has a hole which is too large to plug and coat over top, is that simply addressed with proper detailing of the coatings, or can it become a significant issue with respect to fire protection?

Hello Thom, and thank you for utilizing ASK Hilti! If the hole is too large for a plug and cannot be sealed completely not to allow any passage of flame, then it may be an issue with respect to keeping the flames out of the cavity of the HSS member. Submit an Engineering Judgment my engineering team at UsspEng@hilti.com along with photos, dimensions, AISC designated member sizes to see if a solution can be given coupling our our steel protection and fire protection engineers.
