ANSWER – In general the answer is no, especially in the case of ductwork used for smoke extraction. Any such mounting is likely to compromise another essential function of the ductwork system, where it passes through a fire resisting element of constructions, unless other proven measures have been incorporated to mitigate such an effect.
