approved firestop system and U.L. system number.

1.04 QUALITY ASSURANCE

A. Fire system installation shall conform to requirements of qualified designs or manufacturer

approved modifications, as supported by engineering reports.

B. Install firestop materials and systems as required by these Tender Documents and meet and be
accepted for use by applicable design building and construction codes.

C. Submit manufacturer’s product data, letter of certified laboratory test report that the material or
combination of materials (firestop system) meets the requirements specified in accordance with
the applicable referenced standards.

D. The firestop compound shall not contain any solvents of inorganic fibers. The penetration seal
material must be unaffected by moisture and must maintain the integrity of the floor or wall
assembly for its rated time period when tested in accordance with ASTM E814 (UL1479). The
system shall be U.L. classified for up to and including 3 hours.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS

2.01 FIRESTOPPING

A. Provide firestop compound of in tumescent expandable nature for collar or strip application.

B. Provide firestop compounds for caulk application. Material must be capable of sealing openings
around single or multiple ducts, pipes cables, wire or conduits against fire, smoke and toxic
gases, and maintaining rating with a thickness no greater than the structure.

C. Provide a board material, where required as per manufacturer’s recommendations and/or shown
on the drawings.

D. Provide a firestop system consisting of a material or combination of materials, to retain the

integrity of fire-rated construction by maintaining an effective barrier against the spread of flame,
smoke and toxic gases through penetrations in fire-rated barriers. It shall be used in specific
locations as follows:

1. Penetrations for the passage of duct piping cable, tray conduit, and electrical busways and
raceways through fire-rated vertical barriers (walls and partitions), horizontal barriers (floor
slabs and floor/ceiling assemblies), and vertical service shafts.
2. Provide FS Boards at the typical floor plant rooms.

2.02 MATERIALS

A. Firestopping materials/system shall be flexible to allow for normal movement of building structure
and penetrating item(s) without effecting the adhesion or integrity of the system.

B. Firestopping materials shall not require hazardous waste disposal of used containers/packages.

C. Provide firestopping materials free of solvents which will not experience shrinkage while curing.

D. Provide Fire Rated boards to provide 2 or 4 hour fire resistance as specified compliance with FSD
and Building Requirements.

E. The fire resistant board cladding material shall be non-combustible to BS476 Part 4, Class 1
surface spread of flame to BS476 Class 7, and class 0 to UK Building Regulations. The fire
resistant board shall be of monolithic asbestos-free calcium silicate material. The performance
shall not be affected by moisture absorption Mechanical strength shall be maintained and the
board shall not delaminate or the fire resisting properties shall not deteriorate even under 100%
water saturation. The fire resistant board shall be not attracts pests and shall not rot or support
the growth of mould.

F. Fire resistant coating over life emergency and security system cables crossing different fire
compartments than intended for cable use. This coating shall provide minimum 3 hour protection.
Such space include basement, car park, kitchen and similar areas.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

A. Deliver material to site in original unopened containers or packages bearing the manufacturer’s
name, brand designation, product description and U.L. Classification Mark.

B. Coordinate delivery of materials with scheduled installation date to allow minimum storage time at
job site.

C. Store materials under cover and protect from weather and damage in compliance with
manufacturer’s requirements.

D. Comply with recommended procedures, precautions or remedies described in Material Safety

Data Sheets a applicable.

3.01 EXAMINATION

A. Examine areas and conditions under which work is to be performed and notify the Engineer in
writing of conditions detrimental to proper and timely completion of the work.

B. Verify that openings are properly sized and in suitable condition to receive the work of this
section.

3.02 PREPARATION

A. Clean substrate of dirt, dust, grease, oil, loose materials, rust or other matter that may effect the
proper fitting or adhesion of the firestopping.

B. Clean metal and glass surfaces with a non-alcohol solvent.

3.03 INSTALLATION

A. Install firestop materials as indicated in accordance with design requirements and manufacturer’s
instruction.

B. Seal all holes or voids made by penetrations to ensure an air, smoke and water-tight seal.

C. Firestopping may be required by other Contractors under related sections of the project
specifications. Identify all locations requiring firestopping and coordinate the work of this section
with work performed under other sections of the project to provide a uniform system of
firestopping.

D. Schedule installation of firestopping after completion of penetrating item installation but prior to
covering or concealing of openings.

E. Do not proceed with installation of firestop materials when temperature’s exceed the
manufacturer’s recommended limitations for installation.

F. Horizontal Cables

1. Install a cable sleeve with an inside diameter large enough to pass the cable through.
2. Install firestop in tumescent sealant material between the sleeve and the cable as per
manufacturers.

G. Fire Rated Board

Provide the Fire Rated Boards (2) between the top of the Hardy Wall and the underside of the floor
slab between the core walls forming the typical floor plant room. Provide the openings in the board for
ducts, trunking, conduits and cables. Seal the space around all penetrations with Fire Rated Caulking.

H. Fire Resistant Coating

Provide 4-hour fire protection coating for cables of life safety, security and emergency system
crossing hazardous zones of Car Parking, generator room, kitchen and alike.
