1. Wall Assembly — The 1 or 2 hr fire-rated gypsum board/stud wall assembly shall be constructed of the materials and in the manner specified
in the individual U400 or V400 Series Wall and Partition Designs in the UL Fire Resistance Directory and shall include the following
construction features:
A. Studs — Wall framing shall consist of steel channel studs. Steel studs to be min 3-5/8 in. (92 mm) wide and spaced max 24 in. (610 mm)
OC. Additional framing members shall be used to completely frame around opening.
B. Gypsum Board* — Min 5/8 in. (16 mm) thick, 4 ft (121 cm) wide with square or tapered edges. The gypsum board type, thickness,
number of layers and orientation shall be as specified in the individual U400 or V400 Wall and Partition Design. Max area of opening is
676 sq in. (4362 sq cm) with a max dimension of 26 in. (660 mm).
The hourly F Rating of the firestop system is equal to the hourly fire rating of the wall assembly in which it is installed. The hourly T,
FT and FTH Rating of the firestop system is 0 hr when installed in 1 hr rated walls and ¼ hr when installed in 2 hr rated walls.
2. Steel Duct — Max 24 by 24 in. (610 by 610 mm) No. 22 gauge (or heavier) steel duct to be installed either concentrically or eccentrically
within the opening. The annular space shall be min 1/2 in. (19 mm) to max 1-1/2 in (38 mm). Duct to be rigidly supported on both sides of
wall assembly.
3. Firestop System — The firestop system shall consist of the following:
Gypsum
A. Packing Material — Min 3-5/8 in. (92 mm) or 5 in. (127 mm) thickness of min 4 pcf (64 kg/m3) mineral wool batt insulation for 1 or 2 hr
rated walls, respectively. Mineral wool to be firmly packed into opening as a permanent form and recessed from both surfaces of wall to
accommodate the required thickness of fill material.
A1. Forming Material* — As an alternate to the packing material in Item 3A, nom 4 in. (102 mm) wide strips of min 1/2 in. (13 mm)
thick compressible mat to be stacked to a thickness greater than the width of the annular space and compression-fitted, edge-first, to
fill the annular space to a min 3-5/8 in. (92 mm) or 5 in. (127 mm) depth for 1 hr and 2 hr rated walls respectively. Forming material
to be recessed from both surfaces of wall as necessary to accommodate the required thickness of fill material.
3M COMPANY 3M FIRE PROTECTION PRODUCTS — Fire Barrier Packing Material
B. Fill Void or Cavity Material* — Caulk — Min 5/8 in. (16 mm) thickness of fill material applied within annular space, flush with both
sides of wall.
