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.
