B. Wood Joists Nom 2 by 10 in. lumber joists spaced 16 in. OC with nom 1 by 3 in. lumber bridging and with ends firestopped.
C. Furring Channels (Not Shown) — Resilient galv steel furring installed perpendicular to wood joists between first and second layers of wallboard (Item 1D) and spaced max 24 in. OC.
D. Gypsum Board* Nom 4 ft wide by 5/8 in. thick as specified in the individual Floor-Ceiling Design. First layer of wallboard nailed to wood joists. Second layer of walboard screw-attached to furring channels.
2. Chase Wall The through penetrant (Item 3) shall be routed through a 2 hr fire-rated single, double or staggered wood stud/gypsum wallboard chase wall constructed of the materials and in the manner specified in the individual U300 Series Wall and Partition Designs in the UL Fire Resistance Directory and shall include the following construction features:

Longitudinal joints sealed with metal fasteners or factory-applied self-sealing lap tape. Transverse joints secured with metal fasteners or with butt tape supplied with the product. The annular space shall be min 3/8 in. to max 1/2 in.See Pipe and Equipment Covering — Materials (BRGU) category in the Building Materials Directory for names of manufacturers. Any pipe covering material meeting the above specifications and bearing the UL Classification Marking with a Flame Spread Index of 25 or less and a Smoke Developed Index of 50 or less may be used.
5. Firestop System The firestop system shall consist of the following:
A. Packing Material Foam backer rod firmly packed into opening as a permanent form. Packing material to be recessed from top surface of subfloor and bottom surface of the lower top plate as required to accommodate the required thickness of fill material.
B. Fill, Void or Cavity Material* — Caulk Min 1/4 in. thickness of fill material applied within the annulus, flush with top surface of subfloor and min 3/4 in. thickness of fill material applied within the annulus, flush with bottom surface of lower top plate. RECTORSEAL — Biostop 500+
