3. Firestop Device* — Firestop device consists of a corrugated steel tube with an inner plastic housing, intumescent
material rings and twisted inner fabric smoke seal. Firestop device to be installed in accordance with the
accompanying installation instructions. As an option, the inner fabric seal may remain open except that, to attain the
L Rating, the inner fabric seal shall be twisted to completely close off the opening within device. Device slid into wall
such that ends project an equal distance from the approximate centerline of the wall assembly. Device provided with
flanges that are spun clockwise onto device threads, butting tightly to both sides of wall. The annular space between
the device and the periphery of the opening shall be min 0 in. (point contact). Device flanges are to be secured to
wall with min two 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) long drywall screws.
