The Balanced Approach to Fire Protection

One globally applied principle for fire safety:
Compartmentation (fire compartments)
The spread of fire can be restricted by dividing a building into separate
compartments with fire-resistive walls and floors—increasing the
availability of escape routes for occupants.

Test Methods

ASTM E 814 / UL 1479 Test Standards for
Through Penetration Firestop Systems
F-Rating
The duration of time in which flames do not pass through the system
T-Rating
The time it takes for the non-fire side to reach approximately 400 ºF
(325ºF above ambient)
To receive either rating the firestop must pass the hose stream test
Optional Ratings:
L-Rating
The amount of air leakage through the firestop system at ambient and 400°F
W-Rating
Determines the effectiveness of a firestop system to restrict the flow of
Water.

Assembly is placed on furnace. Assembly is exposed to fire test.
Assembly is subjected to hose stream test. Assembly results after hose stream.

Before installation of Fire Blocks in a wall opening, cut and
install the Z-Frame to fit around the top and sides. You do not
need power tools and will not get metal shavings.

Scribe the Z-Frame where you want to bend it.

Just bend the Z-Frame bar back and forth at the scribed mark to
break it.

Before fastening Z-Frame, apply CP 619T Putty Roll to inside
corner completely covering key holes.

After application, peel away paper covering from Putty.

Completed smoke seal with Putty Roll.

Position the Z-Frame bar (3 pieces) around the perimeter along both sides and
top of opening. Attach the Z-Frame to gypsum wall with 2 5/8” self tapping
drywall screws. For solid concrete/block walls use 3/16” x 1 ¼” concrete
screws.
Frame combos come with all appropriate fasteners.

The opening is now framed and ready for
installation of Fire Block.

Upon completed installation of Fire Blocks, install Z-Frame Latch so that

the latch will contact the front of the T-Bar when turned into place.
Apply putty in any voids in Fire Block installation as per previous

installation instructions.

As an additional smoke seal, apply ½” dome of Putty around
cables at Fire Block interface.

Large Wall Opening (>24” x 24”)
The following will demonstrate a firestop system installation for a larger

opening in a gypsum wall assembly. All openings must be framed out
prior to installation of the firestop system.
Always follow specific Technical Practice requirements for installation.

Please note some of the components Z-Frame

First, prepare Z-Frame to fit perimeter of opening per previous
instructions. Apply Putty Roll to inside of Z-Frame and position in the
opening as shown above. The frame will be placed along both sides
and top of opening. No frame is needed along the bottom.

Attach the Z-Frame to gypsum wall with 2 5/8” self tapping drywall
screws. For solid concrete/block walls use 3/16” x 1 ¼” concrete
screws.
Frame combos come with all appropriate fasteners.

The opening is now framed on all three sides and ready for
installation of firestop materials.

Apply a single layer of Firestop Putty Roll across each layer of cable
and remove the backing paper. Putty should be vertically in line with
each Firestop Board that will be installed.
Note: Firestop Putty Pad may be used in place of Putty Roll to cover
cable area inside of Z-Frame.
Place Fire Blocks at 5” depth within opening around cables. The 5”
depth of the Blocks matches the 5” depth of the Z-Frame.
The assembly is now ready for the T-Bar separator.

Next, measure the width of the opening and cut the T-Bar
separator using snips.

Trim off front perforated edge at ends of T-Bar to ease future
Z-Frame latch installation.

Completed T- Bar cut.

Place the T-bar separator in position over the Fire Blocks.

Apply the Putty Roll to all three back edges of the Z-Frame and to the
back edge of the T-Bar separator above Fire Blocks.

The opening is now ready to receive the first Firestop Board.

The Firestop Board can be shaped just
like a piece of gypsum board.
First, score the line…

…then break the board along the scored line.

Finish cutting the back side.
The finished size of the Firestop Board shall not be more than ¼ “ less
in width (1/8” preferred), and shall be about ¼” larger in height than
opening size to compress Fire Blocks during Board installation.

Place the spacers along the edges of the first Firestop Board at
maximum 8” center to center spacing around perimeter. These
spacers maintain the separation of the two Firestop Boards, one at the
front and one at the back spaced at 5”.

Insert bottom edge of the first Firestop Board (inside piece) into
opening against back flange of T-Bar. Then press top of Board into
opening and push flush with back edge of Z-Frame.
Note that it is just a ‘friction fit’ installation.

Apply 1” depth of Firestop Putty at any gaps around Firestop Board
exceeding 1/8” in width.

Position the second Firestop Board into opening against the spacers,
flush with front surface of wall. After installation, apply 1” depth of
Firestop Putty at any gaps around outside Firestop Board exceeding
1/8” in width.

Attach the latches to the
Z-Frame at 8” center to center
(every other latch hole). Turn
and lock latches in place so
they extend over the Firestop
Board and each end of T-Bar.

Apply 1/8” thick x 1” wide Firestop Putty in between Z-Frame latches
around periphery of Firestop Board. Firestop Putty to be centered
over seam between Firestop Board and Z-Frame. Firestop Putty is
not required under latches.

Install T-Bar Latches along T-Bar at max. 10” center to center spacing
such that the sliding latch extends equally over the Fire Blocks and
Firestop Board. Apply Putty Roll over T-Bar and Latches once
installed.

As an additional smoke seal, apply ½” dome of Putty around
cables at Fire Block interface.

Note the extra spacer is bent
and used in upper right hand
corner of the opening. This can
be installed when the outside
Board is put in place.
This can act as a ‘handle’

to help remove the
Firestop Board when
accessing the opening.
