The problem areas

1.1 The illustration on the left indicates a range of 1.2 typical problems facing the designer.

1.2 Construction may consist of: • concrete/masonry • drywall

3.2 The problem areas are:

1.1 -1.2 Movement joints (including rigid or

2.2 low movement joints) 2.3 2.1 -2.6 Plastic and metal pipes

3.1 -3.6 Single cables, jacketed cables, bundles of cables and cable trays (with 2.5 5.1 permanent sealing of opening during 3.6 construction, or temporary sealing 3.5 3.1 allowing additional cables to be 5.4 installed subsequently) 3.3 4.1 Metal ductwork with fire dampers for heating/ventilation/air-conditioning

5.1 -5.4 Multiple penetrations, pipes and/or cables, and sealing of blank openings 2.4

Fire resistance rating The quality and excellence of Hilti Firestop Products 5.3 help ensure that fire, smoke and toxic gases are 2.6 contained to prevent the tragic loss of human life and damage to property. To help prevent the rapid spread of fire within a building certain walls, floors and joints are given a fire resistance rating. This is 4.1 the period of time a building component maintains 2.1 the ability to confine a fire or continues to perform a 5.1 2.1 structural function, or both.

1.2 Firestopping Through penetrations and joints created during the construction process require the installation of Firestop in order to bring the wall or floor back up to its original fire rating. This binder aims to provide 1.1 the design and specification professional with the tools necessary to ensure that every penetration and joint at a fire rated wall or floor is adequately

4.1 protected by sealing, or firestopping, such that the fire rating of the building component is not impaired and compartmentation maintained.
