conditions both during and after construction.
1. For piping penetrations for plumbing and wet-pipe sprinkler systems, provide moisture-
resistant through-penetration fire-stop systems.
2. For floor penetrations with annular spaces exceeding 4 inches in width and exposed to

not requiring removal of insulation.
D. For through-penetration fire-stop systems exposed to view, provide products with flame-spread
and smoke-developed indexes of less than 25 and 450, respectively, as determined per
ASTM E 84.

construction with a record of successful performance.
B. Installation Responsibility: Assign installation of through-penetration fire-stop systems in Project
to a single qualified Specialty Contractor installer.
C. Source Limitations: Obtain through-penetration fire-stop systems, for each kind of penetration
and construction condition indicated, through one source from a single manufacturer.
D. Fire-Test-Response Characteristics: Provide through-penetration fire-stop systems that comply
with the following requirements and those specified in Part 1 "Performance Requirements"
Article.
1.6 COORDINATION

2.2 FIRE-STOPPING, GENERAL
A. Compatibility: Provide through-penetration fire-stop systems that are compatible with one
another; with the substrates forming openings; and with the items, if any, penetrating through-
penetration fire-stop systems, under conditions of service and application, as demonstrated by
through-penetration fire-stop system manufacturer based on testing and field experience.
2.3 FILL MATERIALS
A. General: Provide through-penetration fire-stop systems containing the types of fill materials
indicated in the Through-Penetration Fire-stop System Schedule. Fill materials are those
referred to in directories of referenced testing and inspecting agencies as "fill," "void," or "cavity"
materials.
B. Cast-in-Place Fire-stop Devices: Factory-assembled devices for use in cast-in-place concrete
