Introduction
When people think of Hilti, they think of industry-leading drilling and fastening
technology. Firestop has become a key focus within the company and has
helped us become the Number 1 manufacturer and supplier in both North
America and the World. With a clear commitment to this industry through
extensive product development, testing, market analysis and understanding
customer needs, Hilti has become the leading manufacturer in firestop
technology and product offering in the world.

Hiltis involvement in fire protection products is a core aspect of our contribution

to the construction industry. Hilti develops products to create openings in wall
and floor assemblies (drilling or core rigs), and products to secure the penetrating
items through these assemblies (installation systems, anchors). Providing a
product to seal-up these openings is a natural fit. The type of product used to
seal these openings will depend on the assembly penetrated. If fire-rated, then a
firestop product must be used. If a non-rated assembly is penetrated, then foam
may be utilized. Hilti can offer a variety of solutions for all of our customers
penetrating needs.

In order to maintain market leadership in North America, there are specific areas
that must be understood by Hilti employees and our partners installing firestop;

Introduction to Fire Protection

Even though it is important to us, firestop is a small portion of the overall concept
known as Fire Protection. It is essential to understand how and where firestop
fits inside the large picture when discussing the importance of firestop to anyone
within the building construction industry.

What is fire protection?

Fire protection is a combination of three primary strategies used to

mitigate damages and save lives when a fire occurs. Once a fire has
started, the first opportunity to reduce or limit the impact comes in the
selection of burnable items (i.e. the choice of materials contained in a
structure and the type of structure constructed). Both the growth of the fire
and its spread along vertical and horizontal surfaces may be slowed
through such design.

Active fire protection systems provide the next opportunity. Active fire
protection systems may be defined as a system that provides a service or
activates when a fire is detected. Automatic detection systems will tend to
activate first, followed by automatic water sprinklers or other automatic
suppression systems. The design and effect of these systems will vary
based upon the type of structure built, local building code enforced at the
time of construction and use of the building (occupancy type).

Passive fire protection provides the final opportunity to impede fire and
smoke, and plays an essential role in providing automatic suppression
systems with a manageable fire to act on. Passive fire protection is
designed to contain fire and smoke in zones or compartments. Passive
fire protection system may be defined as working or performing their role
of protection whether a fire has occurred or not.

It is important to remember that fire protection requires the development of

an integrated system involving all of the previously mentioned systems.
No one system should be considered disposable or better than the other.
It is important that all systems work together to provide the needed
protection of both people and property.

Why does fire protection exist?

There are several reasons why fire protection exists. First, to protect the
lives of individuals located in various occupancies. Whether they work,
play or live in these buildings, if a fire breaks out, they must be offered the
proper protection to escape unharmed.

5
 A second reason for fire protection is to contain a fire in its area of origin.
By containing the fire, several things can be accomplished. First it will
minimize the loss of property due to fire. The fire will only consume and/or
damage items found in the area of origin only. This savings could be
substantial when considering a high-rise building or plant facility with high-
dollar equipment used for production. Containing a fire is also the best
scenario for firefighters. The ability to extinguish a fire that has spread to
two or more floors is reduced dramatically versus one that is contained to
one zone on a single floor. This also means that fewer fire fighting
personnel are needed and the degree of risk decreased.

Insurance costs for owners/occupants are another reason for fire

protection. An occupancy without the proper fire protection may have a
policy written with higher premiums. These premiums over time may add
up to three times the amount than it would take to outfit the occupancy
with the correct fire protection systems. Even worse, an owner/occupant
may not find an insurance company willing to write them a policy, thus
risking their entire business on the hopes that a fire will not occur.

Building owners have three basic interests in relation to building

performance:

1. Preservation of safety
2. Preservation of capital
3. Preservation of function

What types of fire protection exist?

There are three areas of fire protection that exist in construction today:

Detection and Alarm

Automatic Suppression
Compartmentalization

Detection and Alarm (active protection) Fire detection systems are

needed so that automatic or manual fire suppression will be initiated; any
other fire protection systems will be activated (i.e. automatic fire doors,
notification of local fire department, internal alarm system); and occupants
will have time to move to safe locations, typically outside of the building.

Automatic Suppression (active protection) For nearly a half century,

automatic fire sprinklers have been an important single system for
automatic control of hostile fires in buildings. Some advantages of
automatic fire sprinklers include: operation directly over the fire itself; not
affected by smoke or toxic gases; visibility is not an issue for these
6
 systems. Other automatic extinguishing systems (i.e. carbon dioxide, dry
chemical, clean system agents (halon replacement), and high expansion
foam), may be used to provide protection for specific portions of a building
where they are particularly suited.

Compartmentalization (passive protection) Barriers, such as walls,

partitions, and floors, that separate building spaces. These barriers also
delay or prevent fire from propagating from one space to another. The
effectiveness of a barrier is dependent upon its inherent fire resistance,
the details of construction, and the penetrations such as doors,
windows, ducts, pipe chases, and electrical raceways. Although the
hourly ratings of fire endurance do not always represent the actual time
the barrier can withstand a building fire, un-penetrated fire-rated barriers
seem to perform rather well. On the other hand, it is quite common for
fire-rated barriers to fail because of non or incorrectly firestopped
penetrations.

What is the leading killer in fires?

Smoke and toxic gases are the leading killers of fires victims. Roughly
70% of all building-related fire deaths are directly related to by products of
combustion. Death often results from oxygen deprivation in the
bloodstream, caused by the replacement of oxygen in the blood
hemoglobin by carbon monoxide. Smoke, besides oxygen deprivation,
indirectly contributes to the number of deaths. Dense smoke can obscure
the visibility, irritate the eyes, and cause fear in individuals caught in a fire.

occupants, aid in extinguishment, or limit the
spread of fire (e.g. sprinkler system or alarm
system).

contractors and suppliers. Shop drawings are
often marked-up contract drawings, but the
supplier or contractor can also generate them
from scratch. Shop drawings are part of the

Fundamentals in Firestopping
In order to truly understand the opportunities that firestop offers, it is important to
understand how firestop fits into the fire protection equation.

Why is Firestopping so Important?

As mentioned in the Introduction to Fire Protection chapter, Smoke and

Toxic Gases are the leading killers of fire victims. In order to reduce the
number of deaths associated with fires, smoke and toxic gases along with
fire must be contained (compartmentalization) in the area of origin.

In a study performed by The National Fire Protection Association,

locations of fire victims were plotted as shown below:

Locations of Fatal Victims of Structure Fires (1994-1998)

Victim Locations Structures
Intimate with ignition 16.3%
Not intimate, but in same room 24.6%
Same floor, but not same room of origin 30.7%
In building, but not same floor 26.4%
Outside building 1.0%
Unclassified 1.1%
Source: NFPA Fire Protection Handbook 19th Edition

More than half of all fatalities occurred outside the room of origin. These
statistics verify the need for fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings. When
they are penetrated, they need to be properly sealed with a firestop
material. During the time period of this study (1994-1998), there were a
total of 18,719 civilian deaths and 18.7 billion dollars in direct property
damage.

During a fire, smoke can travel a significant distance. In a developing fire,

smoke will travel 50 -100 feet per minute. In a fire that has developed,
smoke may travel as fast as 300 feet per minute. When survivors of fires
were interviewed, 47% stated that they could not see more than 12 feet.
When looking at the Life Safety Code (NFPA 101), the average
recommend maximum travel distance to an exit is 200 feet. Traveling 200
feet during a fire, when you could only see 12 feet at a time would be an
extremely difficult task.

15
Benefits of Compartmentalization

With the use of fire-rated walls/floors and firestop systems, we can

achieve the goals of compartmentalization. By achieving this goal we can:

Limit the spread of a fire once it begins

Minimize (or reduce) the risk of loss of an occupant and property
Protect others located in the same building as fire, but different area
Aid in the attempt to extinguish fire
Provide a protected means of access to fire department personnel
Protect in Place where it is difficult or impossible to move occupants
under fire conditions. (Hospitals, Jails, ect.)

The passage below is taken from the 19th Edition of The Fire Protection
Handbook.

The protection of vertical openings is one of the most significant factors in

the design of multi-story buildings, from the standpoint of life safety and
exit design. Because of the natural tendency of fire to spread upward in a
building, careful attention to details of design and construction are
required to minimize this effect. One of the greatest hazards to life safety
results from fires that start below the occupants and the means of egress.
Similarly, fires in multistory buildings may result in smoke spread into
enclosed exits before evacuation.

Large Fire Data:

Example #1: MGM Grand Hotel Las Vegas, NV

An example of the importance of firestop, one can examine the data from
the MGM Grand Hotel fire which occurred in Las Vegas. This fire occurred
on November 21, 1980. The fire was discovered by a hotel employee who
entered an unoccupied deli/restaurant located on the casino level of the
hotel. The fire quickly reached flash-over and spread through the casino
area. The heat and smoke rapidly extended from the casino area through
the seismic joints, elevator shafts, and plumbing chases throughout the 21
residential floors of the hotel. The heat was intense enough on the 26
floor, that the sprinkler heads were activated. The fire resulted in 85
deaths. Only 18 bodies recorded were on the casino level. The rest
were located on the 16 floor or above. In this example, roughly 80% of the
fatalities occurred outside the room of fire origin.

16
 Example #2: One Meridian Plaza Philadelphia, PA

On the night of February 23, 1991 a fire broke out in the 38-story Meridian
Bank Building in downtown Philadelphia. The fire was reported to the fire
department at 8:40 pm and burned for more than 19-hours. This fire is
one of the largest high-rise office building fires in American history,
completely consuming 8 floors of the building.

This fire claimed the lives of three Philadelphia firefighters and caused an
estimated $100 million in direct property loss. The litigation that resulted
from this fire toped $4 billion in civil damages.

The fire started in a vacant 22nd floor office where a pile of linseed oil-
soaked rags were left by a contractor. Due to incomplete fire detection,
the fire was well advanced before any notification was given. Unprotected
penetrations in fire-resistive rated assemblies and the absence of fire
dampers in ventilation shafts permitted the fire and smoke to spread
vertically and horizontally. Unprotected opening in the walls of the 22nd
floor electrical closet permitted the fire to impinge on the primary and
secondary electrical system causing the building to completely lose power.

Due to many factors, loss of electrical power, water supply, lack of proper
protection of openings, and lack of proper detection the fire burned for
more than 19-hours and extended up to the 30th floor before being
extinguished.

What is Firestopping?

A process whereby certain materials, some of them specially

manufactured, are used to resist (or stop) the spread of fire and its
byproducts through openings made to accommodate penetrations in fire-
rated walls, floors and floor/ceiling assemblies.

What is a Through-Penetration Firestop Systems?

A completely installed Through-Penetration Firestop System includes a

fire-rated assembly (wall, floor, floor/ceiling), an opening in the assembly,
penetrating item (or items), a firestop material, any required support or
installation items (such as a sleeve, mineral wool, ect.) and consideration
of annular space and hole size.

Common Penetrating Items

The following section is a list of common penetrating items found in the building
construction industry. Typical UL test reports and systems may be found for the
item listed below:

Metallic Pipe (Insulated and Non-Insulated)

Steel
Copper
Conduit
EMT
Insulation types (Glass fiber, AB/PVC)

Plastic Pipe (Closed and Open)

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
FRPP (Fire Retardant Polypropylene)
PEX (Cross-link Polyethylene)

Cables (Electrical and Telecommunication)

Power (Romex, SER)
Signaling and Control (Fire Alarm)
Telephone
Television (RG 59, 62A)
Computer
Fiber-optic

Ducts
Round and Rectangle
Non-Dampered
Dampered (consult damper manufacturer for correct installation)

Electrical Busways and Cable Trays

Open and closed ladder cable trays
Spine trays
Bus bars

Most common applications have single items penetrating the opening.

These are some of the most basic applications, and several tested
systems exist to solve these applications. However, there are instances
where applications consist of multiple penetrating items contained in one

20
 large opening. These applications are sometimes difficult to solve with a
UL System, and custom drawings are needed (Engineered Judgments).
These will be discussed in a later chapter.

Common Fire Rated Construction

Walls
Solid Concrete - Precast or Poured in Place
Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) - Concrete Block
Gypsum Wallboard over Steel or Wood Studs

Floors
Solid Concrete
Hollow-Core Concrete
Concrete over Steel Deck (Fluted)
Wood Frame Floor/Ceiling Assembly

The above mentioned are typical assemblies found in the UL Fire

Resistance Directory with fire ratings ranging from 1/2-hour to 4-hours.
There will be cases where penetrations are required to have firestop (by
the local fire marshal/inspector), and they pass through a non-rated or
non-tested assembly. In these cases, the best Hilti can provide is a
drawing showing how our products will perform when installed with rated
assemblies. A prime example of this situation is fire-rated gypsum wall
intersects with a non-rated roof assembly. In this case, an engineering
judgment may be supplied based upon review of the application. This
will demonstrate that 1/8 depth of CP 672 Speed Spray over 4 pcf.
mineral wool will last 1 or 2-hours.

Firestop Market Influences

Model/Local Building Codes

Federal Regulations
Local Building Inspectors
Plan Examiners
Fire Marshals and other Fire Officials
Testing Laboratories (UL)
Standard Organizations (ASTM, NFPA)
Insurance Underwriters
Specifying Architects
Specifying Engineers
Consultants and Inspection Services
Contractors/Installers
21
 Building Owners
Firestop manufacturers, Representatives and Distributors

All of the above have some influence whether firestop will or will not be
used and to what degree the UL listings will be followed. One key to
selling the firestop concept is to target these key decision makers in your
area. By introducing yourself and explaining your function - you are a
professional in the firestop arena. This will lead to the proper use of
firestop and additional sales.

22
Test Standards Associated with Firestop
When considering firestop products, there are multiple test standards that may
be referenced. These include:

Test Standard Title

ASTM E 814 or UL Fire Tests of Through-penetration Firestops
1479
UL 2079 or ASTM E Tests for Fire-Resistance Joint Systems
1966
ASTM E 2307 Standard Test Method for Determining Fire
Resistance of Perimeter Fire Barrier Systems Using
Intermediate-Scale, Multi-story Test Apparatus
ASTM E 84, UL 723 or Surface Burning Characteristics of Building
NFPA 255 Materials
ASTM E 90 Standard Practice for Use of Sealants in Acoustical
Applications
ASTM E 119 or UL 263 Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials
ASTM E 136 Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at
750 oC (Combustibility)
ASTM E 1399 Tests for Cyclic Movement of Joints
ASTM E 595 Tests for Outgassing in a Vacuum Environment
ASTM G 21 Determining Resistance of Synthetic Polymeric
Materials to Fungi

Many of these test standards are only utilized in specific applications /

environments where firestop may be installed. As an example, ASTM E 814 is
the basic test standard where a firestop is evaluated for its performance under
fire conditions. This is the basis to determine if a product will achieve firestop
status. In contrast, ASTM E 595 is a test standard where all types of building
construction materials are evaluated for their ability to be used in a clean
environment. The need for this is found in high technology environments where
products are manufactured (i.e. computer chip plant).

The need for product testing to many of these standards , if applicable, will be
found in the Specification book created for each jobsite by the
Architect/Engineer.

23
ASTM E 814 (UL 1479)
Fire Tests of Through-Penetration Firestops

During this testing process, the firestop system (material) is evaluated using
three specific sets of criteria. These include:

Fire exposure
Temperature data
Hose stream test

Fire Exposure data is merely how long a firestop system can prevent fire from
passing through the system to the non-fireside of the test assembly. Once a
flame is discovered on the non-fireside, the test is stopped and then assigned an
F-rating by rounding down to the last completed hour (as long as the system
passes the hose stream part of the test see below). Common ratings include 1,
2, 3 or 4-hours.

During the tests, a standard time/temperature curve is followed:

1000 oF at 5 minutes

1300 oF at 10 minutes

1550 oF at 30 minutes

1700 oF at 1 hour

1850 oF at 2 hours

2000 oF at 4 hours

To put this into perspective, a group of fire marshals studied a fire that burned for
more than 19 hours at the One Meridian Plaza in Philadelphia, and the
temperature never exceeded 1500 F. This is an indication that the current
standard is adequate.

Temperature Data is taken throughout the test by thermocouple readings on the

non-fireside of the test assembly. These readings determine what the T-rating
of the system will be. The T-rating is the time for the temperature of the
unexposed surface of the firestop system or any penetrating item to rise 325 oF

24
above its initial temperature as measured at the beginning of the test. As an
example, at the start of the test the room temperature is 75 F. The target
temperature for the T-rating is 400 F.

Readings are taken at the following locations:

Legend:

A At a point on the surface of the firestop, 1 from one through-penetrating

item for each type of penetrating item
B At a point on the firestop surface at the periphery of the firestop.
C At a minimum of three points on the firestop surface applied equi-distant
from a penetrating item and the periphery.
D At one point on any frame that is installed about the perimeter of the
opening.
E At one point on the unexposed surface of the wall or floor that is a
minimum 12 from any opening.
F At one point on each type of through-penetrating item taken 1 over the
surface of the firestop system.

The rating is intended to represent how long it will take before a combustible item
on the non-fireside will catch on fire from heat transfer.

The Hose Stream section of the test is done after the fire exposure part of the
test is completed. It is often mis-understood that this part of the test is done to
represent what would happen if the fire department were to hit the firestop
system while trying to extinguish the fire. However, this was not the intent of the

25
hose stream. The hose stream test is conducted to represent the structural
integrity of the firestop system after its exposure to heat. Many things could
happen during a fire including increased pressures in the room of origin, as well
as items falling on the penetrating item or impacting the firestop system. The
firestop system must continue to work even under these conditions.

Below is a pressure and duration chart for the hose stream.

Hourly Fire Rating Time Duration of Hose
in Minutes Water Pressure (psi) Stream (sec./sq. ft.)
240 < time < 480 45 3.00
120 < time < 240 30 1.50
90 < time < 120 30 0.90
time < 90 30 0.60

In order for a system to be listed by UL, it must pass both the fire endurance (F-
rating) and hose stream part of the test. The temperature data is only relevant
where building codes require the T to equal the F-rating.

Other UL Ratings:

Two other ratings found in the UL 1479 Test Standard are the L and W-rating.
Each of these ratings are optional and are designed to provide greater
information about the product / system performance under fire conditions.

The L rating is short for the Leakage Rating, and represents a relative
measure of air leakage through a firestop system prior to the fire testing. There
is little comparative data to support the L-Ratings implications as far as a firestop
system is concerned. There is no pass/fail criteria, just a number assigned to the
UL listing based upon test performance.

During this test, air movement is measured as it moves through the firestop
system at normal, ambient temperature. The firestop system is then subjected to
exposure of 400 oF for 30 minutes. A new reading takes place measuring air
leakage. This data is provided in CFM/ft2 for penetrations or CFM/lin ft for joints.

The W rating (Water Leakage Test) is designed to represent the water

tightness of a firestop system. In order to evaluate this, a test sample is
constructed and the firestop system is installed. A water tight cylinder (test
chamber) is then installed around the firestop system and penetrating item(s).
Water, with a permanent dye, is then placed in the test chamber until 3 feet of
water column is created (1.3 psig). A white indicating medium is then placed
below the firestop system and the test is run for 72-hours. A firestop system
passes if the dyed water does not come in contact with the white medium or the
underside of the test sample.

ASTM E 84 (UL 723 & NFPA 255)
Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials

Surface burn tests establish relative flame spread and smoke development
ratings of various products used in todays construction. Items tested include
building materials, as well as contents located within a building. The lower the
rating classification, the better the products provide some form of fire protection.

The classifications for flame spread and smoke develop involve a broad range of
values. These include:

Classification Flame Spread Smoke Development

A 0 25 0 450
B 26 75 0 450
C 76 200 0 450

As an example, a product with a flame spread rating of 20, and a smoke

development rating of 25 would be ranked as a Class A building material and
would be considered low in combustibility. When looking at Codes and
Specifications, many require that only products with Flame Spread Ratings of 25
or under and Smoke Ratings of 50 and under are acceptable. ALL of the Hilti
firestop products meet these requirements.

27
UL 2079
Tests for Fire Resistance of Building Joint Systems

This standard is designed for fire resistive building joint systems that do not
contain other unprotected openings such as windows. The standard is used to
evaluate floor to floor, floor to wall, wall to wall, and top-of-wall (head-of-wall)
joints for fire-rated construction.

This standard is very similar to ASTM E 814 (UL 1479) in the way the systems
are tested. The same time/temperature curve is used in both standards. There
are three main differences for those joint assemblies tested to the 2079 standard:

Assembly rating vs. F and T ratings

Cycle requirements
Hose stream requirements

Firestop joint systems are tested are assigned an Assembly Rating instead of F
and T Ratings. An assembly rating combines both the F and T into one rating.
The rating with the lowest time will be used for the assembly rating. The T-rating
is the major factor in this case, because a failure due to flame passage to the
non-fireside, will have caused the temperature to rise well above the 325 + mark.
This differs from the through-penetrations in that a system may have a F-rating of
3-hours but a T-rating of 0 (i.e. steel pipe). This system is still listed, where a
joint would not.

The second difference is the Cycle Requirements. All joint system are cycled
through their intended range of movement prior to fire exposure. This is
designed to demonstrate the firestop systems range of movement and the impact
it may have on the system to perform under fire conditions. The cycle
requirements are defined by ASTM Standard E 1399, Standard Test Method for
Cyclic Movement and Measuring the Minimum and Maximum Joint Widths of
Architectural Joint Systems. The percentage of movement for the joint system is
determined by the firestop manufacturer.

The following table illustrates the amount of cycles and timing based upon
movement classifications.

Movement Minimum number Minimum cycling rate

classification of cycles (cycles per minute)
Class I 500 1
Class II 500 10
Class III 100 30

28
The final difference for firestop joint systems is the requirement of the Hose
stream test. The only two applications that require the hose stream test after the
fire endurance is wall-to-wall and top-of-wall (head-of-wall) joints. The calculation
of time and water pressure is the same as the requirements for ASTM E 814 / UL
1479.

29
ASTM E 2307
Standard Test Method for Determining Fire Resistance of
Perimeter Fire Barrier Systems Using Intermediate-Scale, Multi-
story Test Apparatus

This standard is designed for the testing of perimeter fire barrier systems. A
perimeter fire barrier system is the perimeter joint protection installed in the
space between an exterior wall assembly (typically non-rated) and a rated floor
assembly. A perimeter fire barrier system is designed to impede the vertical
spread of fire from the floor of origin to the floor above through the perimeter
joint. Spread of fire via the exterior of the wall (leapfrog) is not considered
failure.

The test method utilizes the Intermediate-Scale, Multi-Story Test Apparatus

which is a two story test structure consisting of a test room and an observation
room. The perimeter joint and exterior wall assembly are exposed to an interior
compartment fire as well as a flame plume emitted from an exterior burner.

The following ratings can be obtained through testing of ASTM E 2307:

F-rating (Integrity Rating) measures the time at which flames

penetrates through the perimeter fire barrier system or around its
boundaries

T-Rating (Insulation Rating) measures the time of any TC on the

unexposed face of the perimeter fire barrier system or adjacent supporting
construction to reach more than 325F above its initial temperature.

In addition to the above perimeter fire barrier systems may be cycled prior to the
fire test. Joints are typically cycled either by moving the floor up and down in
relation to the wall (Shear) or left and right (horizontal). After the joint is cycled,
the joint is stabilized and tested at its extended width.

Air Leakage (L-Rating) can also be measured through the perimeter fire barrier
system. The L-rating is a measurement of the rate of air leakage through the test
sample resulting from a specified air pressure difference applied across the
surface of the test sample.

30
ASTM E 136
Behavior of Materials in a Vertical tube Furnace at 750 degree C
This standard is referenced in the building codes and in other documents to
define what can or cannot be considered non-combustible.

This standard involves a small oven acting as an incinerator. The materials must
not lose any weight (other than water weight) and must not exhibit any flaming. In
other words, you should not be able to incinerate the material.

The pass/fail criteria relates to how much weight the specimen loses and whether
its fuel content raises the air temperature in the oven.

31
ASTM E 90 04
Standard Test Method for Laboratory Measurement of Airborne
Sound Transmission Loss of Building Partitions and Elements

Sound transmission testing simulates the same difficult test parameters used to
determine the performance of firestopping products.

Standard outlines the method and procedures for measuring sound loss through
assemblies and calculating the overall STC rating. Much like a fire test, the
standard evaluates the performance of the whole system (including the assembly
itself, joints, gaps and penetrations within the assembly) to measure and
determine the Sound Transmission Loss (STL) and the resulting Sound
Transmission Classification (STC) rating.

The method defined by ASTM E90 utilizes two separate rooms that are divided
by a partition. The assembly to be tested is installed within the dividing partition.
One of the rooms is designated as the source room and the other room is
designated as the terminating room. The test apparatus is designed so that
sound is only transmitted through the test specimen.
Typical ASTM E-90 Configuration

TERMINATING ROOM SOURCE ROOM

In regards to firestop products, the results are given with an STC for the wall or
floor assembly itself, the assembly with the particular penetration unprotected,
and a result with the penetration sealed with the firestop material. The higher the
STC number the better acoustical properties the material has.

32
ASTM G 21
Standard Practice for Determining Resistance of Synthetic
Polymeric Materials to Fungi
ASTM G-21 Determining Resistance of Synthetic Polymeric Materials to Fungi
is the test method used to determine the effect of fungi on materials. The test is
conducted by placing a sample of material on a surface of agar and sprayed with
fungi spore. The sample is then covered and incubated at 82 to 86F (28 to 30C)
and not less then 85% relative humidity for minimum 28 days. The only potential
nutrient is the sample itself. If the sample is not attacked by fungi then the
material is considered mold and mildew resistant. The material is then given a
rating of 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 with 0 being the best rating (See Table Below).

Rating Observed Growth on Specimen

No Growth
0*
Material does not serve as nutrient for micro organism, its fungi static
Traces of Growth (less than 10%)

33
ASTM E 119
Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials
This test standard is used to measure the performance of assemblies such as
walls, floors, columns and other building members under fire conditions. The test
standard evaluates the ability of the assembly to prevent the passage of fire and
hot gasses from one side of the assembly to the other. For load-bearing
assemblies and elements, the test also evaluates load-bearing ability under fire
conditions. Upon successful completion of the requirements below an assembly
is given a 1, 2, 3, or 4-hour assembly rating.

Fire Endurance Test

Fire tests are carried out with furnace temperatures following the standard time-
temperature curve. During the fire test the assembly must resist the passage of
flame for the desired time period. Time and temperature points within the test
furnace are as follows:

1000F (538C) at 5 min

1300F (704C) at 10 min
1550F (843C) at 30 min
1700F (927C) at 1 hour
1850F (1010C) at 2 hours
2000F (1093C) at 4 hours

Temperatures of Unexposed Surfaces

The assembly is not only required to resist fire it must also resist the transfer of
heat. Temperature data is recorded during the test by thermocouples placed on
the non-fireside of the assembly. The assembly must resist the transfer of heat
such that the temperature on the non-fireside does not rise 250F (139C) above
ambient temperature.

34
Hose Stream
A hose stream test is also conducted to ensure that the assembly retains
sufficient mechanical integrity after being exposed to fire conditions. The
assembly must be able to withstand the impact, erosion and cooling effects of the
hose stream. The duration and pressure of the hose stream test are as follows:

Duration of Application
Resistance Period Water Pressure (psi)
(Sec. /sq. ft.)
4 hour and over if less
45 3.00
than 8 hour
2 hour and over if less
30 1.50
than 4 hour
1-1/2 hour and over is
30 0.90
less than 2 hour
1 hour and over is less
30 0.60
than 1-1/2 hour

UL Fire Resistance Directory Overview

With the advancement of technology, using the UL Fire Resistance Directory has
become easier. The introduction of ULs website now allows users to enter
specific UL Systems in order to view a detailed firestop, wall or floor systems.

Where computers are not available, using the printed UL Fire Resistance
Directory is critical. The Fire Resistance Directory consists of the following three
volumes:

Volume I:
Contains listings for fire rated beams, columns, floors, roofs, walls and
partitions. You will use this volume when determining specifics about what
hourly rated assemblies are being penetrated on-site. Details about the
assembly design may drive the need for a custom drawing (engineering
judgment) if changes take place.

36
 Volume IIA and IIB:
Contains tested systems for joint systems, through-penetration firestop
systems and electrical circuit protective systems and duct assemblies.
This is where you will find all of the listed firestop systems from all
manufacturers. Located in the back of Volume IIB is an alphabetical
listing of all the manufacturers and their firestop systems.

Volume III:
Contains tested systems for dampers, fire doors, glazing materials and
related equipment. This volume is rarely if ever used in our business.

Omega Point (OPL) Directory of Listed Building Products, Materials and

Assemblies Overview

To view the curtain wall assemblies that have been tested and listed, you will
utilize Volume II of the Omega Point Directory. These systems are located under
the Fire-Resistive Joint Systems section of the book.

Here you will find all design aspects of the firestop system including exterior wall,
floor assembly and perimeter joint protection.

37
Using the UL Fire Resistive Directory: Actual Systems

Shown below is UL System Number CAJ 1226 taken from the UL Fire Resistive
Directory. When reading through the text, you will gain an understanding of how
UL describes each individual component of the systems. All of the listings are
created with the same format (i.e. floor/wall assembly first, sleeve options if
applicable, penetrating item, etc.).

It is worth noting that any deviation from the below system would fall outside the
means of this particular system. In that case, a different UL system would be
required or if nothing is found, an Engineering Judgment request should be
submitted to the Hilti Fire Protection Engineers.

Using the UL Fire Resistive Directory: Numbering and Nomenclature

UL Numbering System Through-Penetrations

When looking through the Fire Resistance Directory, you will find thousands of
systems designed for specific applications. These systems are categorized
using an Alpha-Alpha-Numeric system. It is important for involved to understand
the system and how to quickly identify the difference between a CAJ and WL
system

The first part of the system designation is the Alpha-Alpha section. This
represents the type of assembly that the firestop system was designed and
tested with.

The first letter represents what type of structure (assembly) is being

penetrated.
F - Floor
W - Wall
C - Floor and/or Wall (combined)

The second (or third) letter(s) provides more information about the
assembly.
A - Concrete floors 5-inches thick or less
B - Concrete floors greater than 5-inches thick
C - Framed floors - floor/ceiling assemblies
D - Deck construction
E through I - Not used
J - Concrete or masonry walls 8-inches thick or less
K - Concrete walls greater than 8-inches thick
L - Framed walls - gypsum wallboard assemblies
M - Bulkheads
N through Z - Not used

The second part of the system designation is the Numeric section. This
represents the type of penetration that the firestop system was designed and
tested with.

40
 The four digit number describes the type of penetrating item.

0000 - 0999 Blank openings

1000 - 1999 Metal pipe, conduit or tubing
2000 - 2999 Plastic pipe
3000 - 3999 Cables
4000 - 4999 Cable tray
5000 - 5999 Insulated pipe
6000 - 6999 Miscellaneous electrical
7000 - 7999 Miscellaneous mechanical
8000 - 8999 Mixed penetrating items
9000 - 9999 Reserved

As an example, lets look at UL System CAJ 1150:

EXAMPLE: CAJ 1150

C - Floor or Wall penetration

A - Concrete Floor 5-inch or less

J - Concrete or Masonry Walls

1150 - Metal pipe, conduit or tubing

UL Numbering System Joint Systems

These systems are categorized similarly using an Alpha-Alpha-Numeric system.

The first two letters represents what type of joint is listed.

FF Floor to floor
FW Floor to wall
WW Wall to wall
HW Head of wall (Top of wall)
CG Wall to wall intended as corner guards
BW Bottom of wall

41
 The third letter signifies the movement capabilities of the joint system.
S No movement (static)
D Dynamic

The second part of the system designation is the Numeric section. This
represents the size of joint that the firestop system was designed and tested with.

The four digit number describes the nominal joint width.

0000 - 0999 Less than of equal to 2

1000 - 1999 Greater than 2 and less than or
equal to 6
2000 - 2999 Greater than 6 and less than or
equal to 12
3000 - 3999 Greater than 12 and less than or
equal to 24
4000 - 4999 Greater than 24

As an example, lets look at UL System HWD 0042:

EXAMPLE: HWD 0042

HW Head of wall joint

D Dynamic (movement)

0042 Joint width less than of equal to 2

Omega Point Numbering System Joint Systems

These systems are categorized utilizing a systematic number system. As an

example, CEJ 307P is a typical Hilti edge of slab listing. In the case of all OPL
listings, the CEJ stands for Construction Expansion Joint. The numbers
represent the number of the system listed. This is just an order established by
OPL. The P stands for Perimeter. The key to their listing system is the letter
used at the end of every system. This will designate what type of firestop joint
system is listed. The chart below explains their nomenclature:

Construction Project Specifications
An Overview

Specifications are generated for virtually every construction project. They may be
very simple and brief, or very long and complex. Please note that the numbers
for a given spec section sometimes vary slightly, some specs are out of date or
just plain wrong. Most specifications for projects containing firestop are written in
the AIA Masterformat. The AIA Masterformat outlines where specific
information should be contained in the specification book for each project.

It is important to review the specification book and read the relevant specification
sections EARLY in the project. The specification book is a legally binding part of
the contract between a contractor and an owner, or a sub-contractor and a
contractor. Anytime you can help our customer meet the terms of the contract,
painlessly and accurately, you are providing a value-added service. The following
pages provide an outline of Masterformat section numbers.

Before looking for the specification section which calls for FIRESTOP, read the
sections that explain the requirements for submittals and substitutions. This
explains WHAT needs to be submitted to gain project-specific approvals
and WHEN these submittals need to be made. Most contractors dislike the
submittal process and are often late filing the submittals. This is where you can
add value to your services by helping your customer make an accurate and
timely submittal.

The actual product specifications can be found in several different locations,

most commonly in Section 07840, 07841, or 07842. If the mechanical and/or
electrical engineer is specifying firestop materials, it will be found in Division 15 or
16, unfortunately there is no specific section within these divisions that is
designated for firestop. The specification generator may assign a section number
which makes sense for his or her project. Many times, the firestopping verbiage
in Division 15 and 16 refers back to section 07840, 07841, or 07842. The
different spec sections often contain conflicting information. The information
found in section 07840, 07841 or 07842 often overrides information found in the
specific divisions because it is more complete. However, if the mechanical and
electrical trades are contracted to firestop the penetrations they create, they may
stick with the specs in Div. 15 and Div. 16 as these sections are the basis of their
contract. If you only review the Division 7 spec (Thermal and Moisture Protection)
you may be unpleasantly surprised when the decision concerning firestop is
finalized. If youre not sure, ask your customer!

Finally, firestop may be specified via the drawings instead of the spec book.
Architectural drawings usually begin with the letter A while Mechanical drawings
begin with M and Electrical with E. Review the Architectural Detail sheets for
firestop details; this is where the project architect will place the details that they

44
pull from the Hilti website or CD. A Hilti-specific detail is a GREAT opportunity!
Additionally, you may find reference to firestop on the project plans under
Architectural General Notes, as well as the Firestopping Schedule. Schedules
are generally in tabular form, and show which UL system(s) are to be used for
combinations of penetrating items, and floor/ wall construction.

The key to success is to review the construction documents EARLY in the

process and read all relevant sectionsthis is how you provide expertise and
added value to your customers!

Section 07840 (07270) Format Outline

After locating this section in the specification book, you can then find the specific
information related to firestop and the project.

Related sections will often be called out where firestop information can be found.
Some examples of these related applications include:

Top-of-wall joints
Perimeter safing slots for curtain walls
Expansion joints in fire-rated floors/walls

Submittals
Those products specified in Section 2 Products, must have product data
sheets, material safety data sheets, and shop drawings submitted 30-60 days
prior to the start of work. All of this information is located in the Hilti Firestop
Manual or on the Hilti website.

Quality Assurance
Most design firms require either an experienced specialty firestop contractor or a
contractor that has received training from the manufacturer to perform the actual
installation of the firestop. This is a great opportunity to promote the on-site
training that is available from Hilti.

References to UL
There is a growing trend in specs to require a product that is listed in the UL
Directory, but not call out a specific product manufacturer. In this case, Hilti can
easily be submitted and used for these projects.

Building Codes
The main driver of firestop and its installation in the building construction industry
depends on the local and National Building Codes. These codes are written by
National organizations and then adopted on the state and local level of
government. Local building officials then enforce plan design and the actual
building process based upon these codes.

Up until the late 1990s, three major building codes were utilized throughout the
United States. These included the Uniform Building Code, Standard Building
Code and the National Building Code (BOCA). In 1996, these three
organizations agreed to work together to develop one national building code
forming the ICC (International Code Council).

All of the codes listed below have adopted the use of firestop for through-
penetrations within specific sections of the code.

IBC International Building Code (sponsored by ICC)

UBC Uniform Building Code (Sponsored by ICBO)
SBC Standard Building Code (Sponsored by SBCCI)
BOCA National Building Code (Sponsored by BOCA)
NFPA 101 Life Safety Code (Sponsored by the National Fire Protection
Association)
NFPA 70 National Electrical Code (Sponsored by the National Fire
Protection Association)

Within each of these codes, there are specific sections that specifically relate to
firestop and the installation requirements. These are included in the following
table.
