1. Wall Assembly – The 1, 2, 3 or 4 hr fire-rated gypsum board/stud wall assembly shall

be constructed of the materials and in the manner described within the individual U300, U400 or V400 Series Wall or Partition Designs in the UL Fire Resistance Directory and shall incorporate the following construction features:

A. Studs – Wall framing shall consist of either wood studs or steel channel studs. Wood studs to consist of nom 2 by 4 in. [51 by 102 mm] lumber spaced max 16 in. [406 mm] OC. Steel studs to be min 1-5/8 in. [41 mm] wide and spaced max 24 in. [610 mm] OC.

B. Gypsum Board* – Thickness, type, number of layers and fasteners as specified in the individual Wall and Partition Design. Diam of opening shall be 2-1/4 in. [57 mm] and 4-3/4 in. [121 mm] for the nom 2 in. [51 mm] and 4 in. [102 mm] sleeves (Item 2), respectively.

The hourly F Rating of the firestop system is dependent upon the hourly rating of the wall in which it is installed.

2. Metallic Sleeve – Nom 2 in. [51 mm] or 4 in. [102 mm] diam electrical metallic tubing

G. Max 8/C 12 AWG (or smaller) copper conductor steel Metal-Clad or Armored-Clad cable.

The hourly T Rating of the firestop system is equal to the F Rating when no cable fill is used or when cables A or B are used. The hourly T Rating is equal to the F Rating up to 3 hr when cable C is used. The hourly T Rating is 1 hr when cable D is installed in 2, 3 or 4 hr rated walls, 1/2 hr in 1 hr rated walls. The hourly T Rating is 1 hr when cable E is installed in 4 hr rated walls and 0 hr in 1, 2 or 3 hr rated walls. The hourly T Rating is 3/4 hr when cable F is installed in 2, 3 or 4 hr rated walls, 0 hr in 1 hr rated walls. The hourly T Rating is 1/4 hr when cable G is installed in 2, 3 or 4 hr rated walls, 0 hr in 1 hr rated walls.

The L Rating at ambient and 400°F with no cable fill is 2.6 CFM and 1.9 CFM, respectively. The L Rating at ambient and 400°F with cable fill is 2.8 CFM and 1.3 CFM, respectively.
