No, plastic pipe fittings are not generally resistant to fire.
Plastic pipe fittings have varying degrees of fire resistance, depending on the type of plastic used. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) fittings, for example, have low resistance to fire and can melt or burn when exposed to high temperatures. On the other hand, CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) fittings are specifically designed to be more flame-resistant and can withstand higher temperatures without melting or burning. It is essential to choose the appropriate plastic pipe fitting based on the specific fire safety requirements of the installation.
