and uted decks without spray over mineral wool
(for both standard walls and shaft walls) and is
sound tested according to ASTM E90, tested up
to a STC 68. HOTROD TYPE-X has a rectangular
prole and is easily compressed into the deection
gap between the edge of the drywall and adjoining
structure. It is red in color and is easily identied
by the inspector. HOTROD TYPE-X is non-
wicking as it does not wick water, and is non-
hygroscopic. It will not absorb water readily under
eld conditions and it takes the place of BOTH re

or harden over time. HOTROD TYPE-X can be
installed by itself or can be covered with tape and
joint compound for exposed walls. It provides an

SMOKE AND SOUND STOP
Trim-Tex® SMOKE AND SOUND STOP is a
compressible rectangular foam that provides a
exible backing for smoke and sound abatement
at interior building joints and is sound tested
according to ASTM E90. SMOKE AND SOUND
STOP is continuous lengths of exible, fabricated
open cell polyurethane in a yellow color. SMOKE
AND SOUND STOP should be installed at interior
perimeter building joints only, free from all loose
materials, dry and free from frost, not recommended
for wet areas. The rectangular prole is easily
compressed into the gap between the edge of
the drywall and adjoining structure. The open cell
composition provides a exible backing capable of
receiving nishing materials such as drywall joint
compound and tape or sealant. Exposed surface
shall be covered with tape and joint compound, or
sealant, or decorative trim. SMOKE AND SOUND
STOP maintains exibility for the life of the interior
building joint and will not shrink or pull away or
harden over time. It will resist oil, gasoline and most
solvents, the material is odorless, will not stain, and
the open cell composition prevents out-gassing.
