<p>Added some thoughts of mine + shared some related concepts/material</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Learned about this a bit in electrical, i&#039;ll eventually get around to making pages on it. I &#039;&#039;think&#039;&#039; it was moreso a commercial thing, but basically you will have a Firewall (not the software kind), and that will be rated for X amount of hours burn time. Then any time you make a [[Wall Penetration]] (Run a cable through, add an [[HVAC Duct]] etc), you have to use the right materials (if i remember correctly), then the outside needs to be filled in.<br /> <br /> They have all sorts of products, like [[User: Marcin]] was posting on the non-talk section of this page, but mainly:<br /> *[[Fire Pillows]] (Used in a similar manner to [[Concrete Masonry Units]] / [[Earthbag Construction]] for large gaps, but often squished around cable trays/runs etc<br /> **These &#039;&#039;may&#039;&#039; need to be sealed with [[Fire Sealant]] but i am not too knowledgable on this topic (yet), and that also may vary with [[Local Codes]]<br /> *[[Fire Sealant]] (Essentially like any [[Silicone Caulk]] etc, but with [[Fire Retardants]] / [[Intumescent Materials]]] added in<br /> *[[Firestop Putty]] (Similar concept to [[Fire Sealant]] but it behaves like [[PlahDoh]] / [[Molding Clay]] )<br /> *[[Firestop Mortar]] / Cement<br /> <br /> I need to check my notes section on my phone, i forget if any of these were a &quot;[[Pain to Work With]]&quot; from his experience, or if any had major Staining issues for Clothes and/or Skin (Firestop materials must be red and left visible iirc)<br /> <br /> It is interesting once you know they are a thing you can see them if looking at the ceilings at various commercial/industrial places you go to. I might have a picture from the &quot;Hands on Lab&quot; at FSCJ somewhere showing where they either used Putty or Sealant around some [[IMC]] / [[RMC]] and hydronic heating/cooling pipes if i remember correctly. My phone is filling up again, so it may be a good time to get the photos from phone to computer to on wiki perhaps (at least on-discord)<br /> <br /> Anywho, that&#039;s the rant of what i know / a groundwork of what pages i could make + places i can dig for info in, i&#039;ll keep you posted<br /> <br /> --[[User:Eric|Eric]] ([[User talk:Eric|talk]]) 03:56, 4 June 2023 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ----</div>
