1. Section 078413 "Penetration Firestopping" for penetration firestopping installed in
fire-resistance-rated walls, horizontal assemblies, and smoke barriers, with and without penetrating items.
2. A firestop system consists of an item or items penetrating a fire rated structure,
the opening in the structure, the sealing materials, and assembly of the materials used to seal the penetrated structure. Firestop systems comprise an effective block for fire, heat, vapor and pressurized water stream. All penetrations through fire rated building structures (walls and floors) shall be sealed with an appropriate firestop system. This requirement applies to through penetrations (complete penetration) and membrane penetrations (through one side of a hollow fire rated structure). Any penetrating items i.e., riser slots and sleeves, cables, conduit, cable tray, and raceways, etc. shall be properly fire stopped using state approved fire-resistant materials installed in accordance with the manufacturer's tested methods. All penetrations through fire rated surfaces shall comply with the following: a. ASTM E 84: Standard Test Methods for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials b. ASTM E 119: Methods of Fire Tests of Building Construction Materials c. ASTM E 814: Standard Method of Fire Tests of Through-Penetration Firestops d. ASTM C 719: Adhesion and Cohesion of Elastomeric Joint Sealants under Cyclic Movement e. ASTM C 920: Standard Specification of Elastomeric Joint Sealants f. UL 263: Fire Tests of Building Construction Materials g. UL 723: Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 SLEEVE INSTALLATION FOR NON-FIRE-RATED ELECTRICAL PENETRATIONS
A. Comply with NECA 1.
B. Comply with NEMA VE 2 for cable tray and cable penetrations.
C. Sleeves for Conduits Penetrating Above-Grade Non-Fire-Rated Concrete and
Masonry-Unit Floors and Walls:
1. Interior Penetrations of Non-Fire-Rated Walls and Floors:
a. Seal annular space between sleeve and pathway or cable, using joint sealant appropriate for size, depth, and location of joint. Comply with requirements in Section 079200 "Joint Sealants." b. Seal space outside of sleeves with mortar or grout. Pack sealing material solidly between sleeve and wall so no voids remain. Tool exposed surfaces smooth; protect material while curing.
2. Use pipe sleeves unless penetration arrangement requires rectangular sleeved
opening. 3. Size pipe sleeves to provide 1/4-inch (6.4-mm) annular clear space between sleeve and pathway or cable unless sleeve seal is to be installed. 4. Install sleeves for wall penetrations unless core-drilled holes or formed openings are used. Install sleeves during erection of walls. Cut sleeves to length for mounting flush with both surfaces of walls. Deburr after cutting. 5. Install sleeves for floor penetrations. Extend sleeves installed in floors 2 inches (50 mm) above finished floor level. Install sleeves during erection of floors.
D. Sleeves for Conduits Penetrating Non-Fire-Rated Gypsum Board Assemblies:
