clean metal and glass surfaces with a non-alcohol solvent.

INSTALLATION
.1

Install firestop material as indicated in accordance with design requirements and

manufacturers instructions.

.2

Seal all holes or voids made by penetrations to ensure an air, smoke and watertight seal.

.3

Firestopping may be required 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.

.4

Schedule installation of firestopping after completion of penetrating item

installation but prior to covering or concealing of openings.

.5

Do not proceed with installation of firestop materials when temperatures exceed

the manufacturers recommended limitations for installation.

.6

Firestop system do not re-establish the structural integrity of load bearing

partitions. Contractor shall consult Employers Representative prior to penetrating
