3.2 PREPARATION
A. Surface Cleaning: Before installing joint firestopping systems, clean joints immediately to
comply with fire-resistive joint system manufacturer's written instructions and the following
requirements:
1. Remove from surfaces of joint substrates foreign materials that could interfere with
adhesion of elastomeric fill materials or compromise fire-resistive rating.
2. Clean joint substrates to produce clean, sound surfaces capable of developing optimum
bond with elastomeric fill materials. Remove loose particles remaining from cleaning
operation.
3. Remove laitance and form-release agents from concrete.
B. Prime substrates where recommended in writing by joint firestopping system manufacturer
using that manufacturer's recommended products and methods. Confine primers to areas of
bond; do not allow spillage and migration onto exposed surfaces.
3.3 INSTALLATION
A. General: Install joint firestopping systems to comply with manufacturer's written installation
instructions and published drawings for products and applications indicated.
B. Install forming materials and other accessories of types required to support elastomeric fill
materials during their application and in position needed to produce cross-sectional shapes and
depths required to achieve fire ratings indicated.
1. After installing elastomeric fill materials and allowing them to fully cure, remove
combustible forming materials and other accessories not indicated as permanent
components of fire-resistive joint system.
C. Install elastomeric fill materials for joint firestopping systems by proven techniques to produce
the following results:
1. Elastomeric fill voids and cavities formed by joints and forming materials as required to
achieve fire-resistance ratings indicated.
2. Apply elastomeric fill materials so they contact and adhere to substrates formed by joints.
3. For elastomeric fill materials that will remain exposed after completing the Work, finish to
produce smooth, uniform surfaces that are flush with adjoining finishes.
3.4 IDENTIFICATION
A. Wall Identification: Permanent wall identification is specified in Section 10 1423.19 “Smoke-
And Fire-Rated Partition Signage."
B. Joint Identification: Identify joint firestopping systems with legible metal or plastic labels. Attach
labels permanently to surfaces adjacent to and within 6 inches of joint edge so labels are visible
to anyone seeking to remove or joint firestopping system. Use mechanical fasteners or self-
adhering-type labels with adhesives capable of permanently bonding labels to surfaces on
which labels are placed. Include the following information on labels:
1. The words "Warning - Joint Firestopping - Do Not Disturb. Notify Building Management
of Any Damage."
2. Designation of applicable testing agency.
3. Date of installation.
4. Manufacturer's name.
5. Installer's name.

B. Where deficiencies are found or joint firestopping systems are damaged or removed due to
testing, repair or replace joint firestopping systems so they comply with requirements.
C. Proceed with enclosing joint firestopping systems with other construction only after inspection
reports are issued and installations comply with requirements.
3.6 CLEANING AND PROTECTION
A. Clean off excess elastomeric fill materials adjacent to joints as the Work progresses by methods
and with cleaning materials that are approved in writing by joint firestopping system
manufacturers and that do not damage materials in which joints occur.
B. Provide final protection and maintain conditions during and after installation that ensure joint
firestopping systems are without damage or deterioration at time of Substantial Completion. If
damage or deterioration occurs despite such protection, cut out and remove damaged or
deteriorated joint firestopping systems immediately and install new materials to produce joint
firestopping systems complying with specified requirements.
