Drawings and general provisions of the Contract, including General and Supplementary Conditions and <br />Division 01 Specification Sections, apply to this Section. <br />1.2 SUMMARY <br />A. This Section includes through-penetration firestop systems for penetrations through fire-resistance-rated <br />constructions, including both empty openings and openings containing penetrating items. <br />B. Related Sections include the following: <br />1. Division 07 Section "Fire-Resistive Joint Systems." <br />2. Division 22 and 23 Sections specifying duct and piping penetrations. <br />3. Division 26, 27, and 28 Sections specifying cable and conduit penetrations. <br />1.3 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS <br />A. General: For penetrations through fire-resistance-rated constructions, including both empty openings and <br />openings containing penetrating items, provide through-penetration firestop systems that are produced <br />and installed to resist spread of fire according to requirements indicated, resist passage of smoke and <br />other gases, and maintain original fire-resistance rating of construction penetrated. <br />1.

For through-penetration firestop systems exposed to view, traffic, moisture, and physical damage, provide <br />products that, after curing, do not deteriorate when exposed to these conditions both during and after <br />construction. <br />1. For piping penetrations for plumbing and wet-pipe sprinkler systems, provide moisture-resistant <br />through-penetration firestop systems. <br />2. For penetrations involving insulated piping, provide through-penetration firestop systems not <br />requiring removal of insulation. <br />3. For through-penetration firestop systems exposed to view, provide products with flame-spread and <br />smoke-developed indexes of less than 25 and 450, respectively, as determined per ASTM E 84. <br />1.4 SUBMITTALS <br />A.
