Fire Barrier Wall Detail

This is a type of fire rated wall assembly.

Fire barrier wall detail.

To confine and isolate fire within a zone comprised of fire resistance rated walls ceiling. Fire barrier walls are typically continuous from an exterior wall to an exterior wall or from a floor below to a floor or roof above or from one fire barrier wall to another fire barrier wall having a fire resistance rating equal to or greater than the required rating for the application. According to the engineered wood association a one hour rating indicates that a wall constructed in a manner similar to the one tested will contain flames and high temperatures and support its full load for at least one hour after the fire begins. A complementary test to astm e 119 and a method of subjecting through penetration firestops to a standard temperature time curve and to a.

Design details specify your system 70 standards and reports ul type designations. 3m fire and water barrier tape and 3m smoke and sound barrier tape introduced 1990 3m develops water based 3m fire barrier cp25wb caulk which is easier to clean and less environmentally impactful than most solvent based caulks. Evaluate the ability of a fire resistive floor or wall assembly to perform its barrier function resisting the passage of flame heat hot gases and smoke in a fire situation. Usg provides resources here for our ul wall assemblies for seamless integration into any construction project.

The supporting construction for a fire barrier shall be protected to afford the required fire resistance rating of the fire barrier supported. Such fire barriers shall be continuous through concealed space such as the space above a suspended ceiling 707 5 1 supporting construction. Fire barriers are continuous through concealed spaces. Fire safety building assembly s the period of time the assembly will serve as a barrier to the spread of fire and how long.

This standard prescribes requirements for the design and construction of high challenge fire walls fire walls and fire barrier walls including protection of openings and penetrations for use in protecting lives and property from fire.
