FOREWORD This technical guide was prepared in response to increasing concerns over the requirements for through-penetration firestopping as mandated by codes, specified by system designers, and required by code officials and/or other authorities having jurisdiction. The language in the model codes, the definitions used, and the expectations of local code authorities varies widely among the model codes and has caused confusion in the building construction industry. Contractors are often forced to bear the brunt of inadequate or confusing specifications, misunderstandings of code requirements, and lack of adequate plan review prior to construction. This guide contains descriptions, illustrations, definitions, recommendations on industry practices, designations of responsibility, references to other documents and guidance on plan and specification requirements. It is intended to be a generic educational tool for use by all parties to the construction process. Firestopping Guideline • Second Edition iii FIRE AND SMOKE CONTROL COMMITTEE Phillip E.

  • Fire Stop Systems
    Fire-rated sealants for floor and wall through-penetrations Fire Stop Systems While electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems are a necessity in building construction, it is often necessary to pass these systems through hourly fire-resistive floor or wall assemblies. Typically, openings are cut or drilled through the floor or wall, and then the penetrating items are installed. However, this leaves an opening, or annular space, through which fire can spread. Firestop materials are installed within the openings and around the penetrants to prevent the passage of flames and hot gases through an otherwise fire-resistive assembly. Fire Spread Prevention User’s Guide This brochure explains: – Where fire stop systems are used – The three types of fire stop systems that USG offers – How to select and specify the appropriate fire stop system Pages Understand Your System 4 Overview Applications Components Performance Testing Select Your System 11 Performance Selector Penetration Fire Tests Construction Joint Fire Tests Fire Containment Curtain Wall Systems Design Your System 39 Good Design Practices Specify Your System 40 Application Guide Specifications For More Information Technical Service 800 USG.4YOU Web Site www.usg.com 3 USG Fire Stop Systems Overview The intersection where two fire-rated assemblies meet (for example, a wall assembly and a floor/ceiling assembly) also creates a joint through which fire can spread. To prevent this, fire-rated construction joint assemblies are installed at these intersections. USG Fire Stop Systems address this problem of openings in the barrier. They consist of mortar-, caulk- and intumescent-type materials that provide reliable firestops. Mortar-type Materials These materials are applied wet over the forming materials (where applicable).
