# Fire Resistive Wiring Methods Takeoff

For circuits requiring fire protection,
it may be acceptable to assume a rated chase,
or concrete-encasement can fulfill this requirement.

* RHW-2 insulated conductors in conduit --- "Lifeline Cable"
* 2-hour rated metal clad cable --- "Vitalink"

If "Lifeline" (cable-in-conduit) cable is used,
utilize EMT-Comp assemblies.

> [!info] "Vitalink" vs "Lifeline" cable
> VITALink® and Lifeline® are brand names
> (of Omni Cable and Prysmian Group respectively),
> not cable types.
> _Both_ brands include MC _and_ CIC cables.
