Membrane Penetration Firestop- Part Two 

I hope you liked the last post, that was just a warm up as we bring you to this new document by the International Firestop Council. This 7-page document offers valuable insights into Membrane Penetration Firestop and provides detailed information on this critical topic. I’ll cover it in my next blog series. It explains the necessary actions but doesn’t cover common installer mistakes or overlooked details. So please start with a read of this document and then come back and we expound on this a bit further in the next few series of posts. IFC Membrane Penetrations

Start by reading this document, and then return for a deeper dive in the upcoming posts. Consider other membrane penetrations based on the construction type. Although this list isn’t exhaustive, it complements the one in the article and highlights non-surface-mounted items to watch for. Items such as fire hose cabinets, fire extinguisher cabinets, time clocks, elevator call boxes, IT control panels, electrical panels, and shower diverter valves, when recessed or semi-recessed in a rated wall, are key examples of Membrane Penetration Firestop.

In the meantime,  let us know if you have any questions or concerns. 

See you next time!
