PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Examine substrates and conditions, with Installer present, for compliance with requirements for
opening configurations, penetrating items, substrates, and other conditions affecting
performance of work.
1. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3.2 PREPARATION
A. Surface Cleaning: Clean out openings immediately before installing through-penetration fire-
stop systems to comply with fire-stop system manufacturer's written instructions and with the
following requirements:
1. Remove from surfaces of opening substrates and from penetrating items foreign
materials that could interfere with adhesion of through-penetration fire-stop systems.
2. Clean opening substrates and penetrating items to produce clean, sound surfaces
capable of developing optimum bond with through-penetration fire-stop systems.
Remove loose particles remaining from cleaning operation.
3. Remove laitance and form-release agents from concrete.
B. Priming: Prime substrates where recommended in writing by through-penetration fire-stop
system manufacturer using that manufacturer's recommended products and methods. Confine
primers to areas of bond; do not allow spillage and migration onto exposed surfaces.
C. Masking Tape: Use masking tape to prevent through-penetration fire-stop systems from
contacting adjoining surfaces that will remain exposed on completion of Work and that would
otherwise be permanently stained or damaged by such contact or by cleaning methods used to
remove smears from fire-stop system materials. Remove tape as soon as possible without
disturbing fire-stop system's seal with substrates.
3.3 THROUGH-PENETRATION FIRESTOP SYSTEM INSTALLATION
A. General: Install through-penetration fire-stop systems to comply with Part 1 "Performance
Requirements" Article and with fire-stop system manufacturer's written installation instructions
and published drawings for products and applications indicated.
B. Install forming/damming/backing materials and other accessories of types required to support fill
materials during their application and in the position needed to produce cross-sectional shapes
and depths required to achieve fire ratings indicated.
1. After installing fill materials and allowing them to fully cure, remove combustible forming
materials and other accessories not indicated as permanent components of fire-stop
systems.
C. Install fill materials for fire-stop systems by proven techniques to produce the following results:
1. Fill voids and cavities formed by openings, forming materials, accessories, and
penetrating items as required to achieve fire-resistance ratings indicated.
2. Apply materials so they contact and adhere to substrates formed by openings and
penetrating items.

3. For fill materials that will remain exposed after completing Work, finish to produce
smooth, uniform surfaces that are flush with adjoining finishes.
3.4 IDENTIFICATION
A. Identify through-penetration fire-stop systems with preprinted metal or plastic labels. Attach
labels permanently to surfaces adjacent to and within 6 inches (150 mm) of edge of the fire-stop
systems so that labels will be visible to anyone seeking to remove penetrating items or fire-stop
systems. Use mechanical fasteners for metal labels. For plastic labels, use self-adhering type
with adhesives capable of permanently bonding labels to surfaces on which labels are placed
and, in combination with label material, will result in partial destruction of label if removal is
attempted. Include the following information on labels:
1. The words "Warning - Through-Penetration Fire-stop System - Do Not Disturb. Notify
Building Management of Any Damage."
2. Contractor's name, address, and phone number.
3. Through-penetration fire-stop system designation of applicable testing and inspecting
agency.
4. Date of installation.
5. Through-penetration fire-stop system manufacturer's name.
6. Installer's name.
3.5 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Where deficiencies are found, repair or replace through-penetration fire-stop systems so they
comply with requirements.
B. Proceed with enclosing through-penetration fire-stop systems with other construction only after
inspection reports are issued and fire-stop installations comply with requirements and
installation has been inspected by a building inspector.
3.6 CLEANING AND PROTECTING
A. Clean off excess fill materials adjacent to openings as Work progresses by methods and with
cleaning materials that are approved in writing by through-penetration fire-stop system
manufacturers and that do not damage materials in which openings occur.
B. Provide final protection and maintain conditions during and after installation that ensure that
through-penetration fire-stop systems are without damage or deterioration at time of Substantial
Completion. If, despite such protection, damage or deterioration occurs, cut out and remove
damaged or deteriorated through-penetration fire-stop systems immediately and install new
materials to produce systems complying with specified requirements.
