Firestop Joint Spray (CFS-SP WB)

Darren Emery said:
Seen, reviewed, approved per listing. Problems encountered early on when no one bothered reading the installation guidelines, or took the time to do a quality job. Done correctly, its the best way I've seen to treat the top of wall or curtain wall area.
How thick did you normally see it to be required!!
 
CDA....depends on the rating....You have to get the actual listing on it.....They need to provide you with it....

Or they can do this:......................... 1704.12 Sprayed fire-resistant materials. Special inspections for sprayed fire-resistant materials applied to floor, roof and wall assemblies and structural members shall be in accordance with Sections 1704.12.1 through 1704.12.6. Special inspections shall be based on the fire-resistance design as designated in the approved construction documents. The tests set forth in this section shall be based on samplings from specific floor, roof and wall assemblies and structural members. Special inspections shall be performed after the rough installation of electrical, automatic sprinkler, mechanical and plumbing systems and suspension systems for ceilings, where applicable.
