I recently had a similar case at an airport terminal where the sprinkler 
contractor run his pipe through the elevator shaft to feed sprinklers on the 
other side of the shaft in addition to picking the sprinkler at the top of the 
shaft.
Long story short, we enclosed said pipe in a 2-hrs rated enclosure, to match 
the rating of the elevator shaft.
