Fire protection
This is a blog article on fire protection systems that compares gypsum-coated slabs to slabs in cementitious matrix or calcium silicate:
"Le lastre a matrice cementizia o in calcio silicato non liberano il meato d’acqua protettiva del solfato di calcio, ma hanno una grande resistenza meccanica nei confronti dell’aggressione termica del fuoco."
I would appreciate your help with the translation of the term "meato d’acqua protettiva".

protective water meatus
Dear colleague, there are many texts on Google in which the expression "water meatus" is used. The text I quoted is a university thesis. I'd use "protective" for "protettiva". Hope it helps.

Michele Fauble
: Those google hits are non-native translations from Italian, typos for water meter and separate terms (water, meatus). In English ‘meatus’ is restricted to anatomy.

protective water channel
In English ‘meatus’ is restricted to anatomy. I think you could use ‘channel’.
