2. Firestop system installations must meet requirements of ASTM E-814, UL
1479 or UL 2079 tested assemblies that provide a fire rating equal to that
of construction being penetrated. In addition, proposed firestop materials
and methods shall conform to applicable governing codes having
jurisdiction.
3. For those firestop applications that occur for which no UL tested system
is available through any manufacturer, a drawing representing the
manufacturer's engineering judgment, derived from similar UL system
designs or other tests, shall be submitted to local authorities having
jurisdiction for review and approval prior to installation. Engineer
judgment drawings must follow current requirements set forth by the
International Firestop Council.
E. Submittals:
1. Manufacturer's submittals shall include specifications and technical data
for each type of material including its composition and limitations,
documentation of UL firestop systems to be used and manufacturer's
installation instructions to comply with Section 1300. The submittal shall
also include material safety data sheets as well as any engineering
judgement drawings previously approved by local authorities.
F. Installer Qualifications:
1. The firestop system installer must be certified, licensed, or otherwise
qualified by the firestopping manufacturer as having the necessary
experience, staff, and training to install manufacturer's products per
specified requirements as previously stated in Quality Assurance.
G. Requirements:
1. All holes, voids, miscellaneous openings, etc., made by penetrations in
floor slabs (above grade) for systems provided under this section shall be
completely sealed to insure water tight integrity. Installation of
firestopping shall be scheduled after completion of penetrating item
installation but prior to covering or concealing of openings.
2. Provide firestopping utilizing components that are compatible with
adjacent surfaces, the substrates forming openings, and the items
penetrating the firestopping under conditions of service and application as
demonstrated by the firestopping manufacturer, based on testing and field
experience. Note that materials containing flammable solvents shall not
be used.
H. Materials:
1. Use only firestop products that have been UL 1479, ASTM E-814, or UL
2079 tested for specific fire-rated construction conditions conforming to
construction assembly type, penetrating item type, annular space
requirements, and fire-rating involved for each specific application.
2. For penetrations by combustible items (penetrants consumed by high heat
and flame) including insulated metal pipe that is PVC jacketed, flexible
cable or cable bundles and plastic pipe (closed piping systems), an
