Fire Barrier Wall Detail

The supporting construction for a fire barrier shall be protected to afford the required fire resistance rating of the fire barrier supported.

Fire barrier wall detail.

Usg provides resources here for our ul wall assemblies for seamless integration into any construction project. 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. To confine and isolate fire within a zone comprised of fire resistance rated walls ceiling. However the wall is not self sufficient because it does not extend below the structure or through the roof meaning that fire and smoke can quickly spread through these two areas.

These wall assembly files are used for planning and estimation purposes for many ul wall types such as fire rated wall assemblies. 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. 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. Fire resistance ratings are expressed in the number of minutes or hours a structure can withstand a fire simulation test.

Design details specify your system 70 standards and reports ul type designations. A complementary test to astm e 119 and a method of subjecting through penetration firestops to a standard temperature time curve and to a. Fire safety building assembly s the period of time the assembly will serve as a barrier to the spread of fire and how long. Such fire barriers shall be continuous through concealed space such as the space above a suspended ceiling 707 5 1 supporting construction.

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.
