Abstract
A fire-rated component for a fire-rated joint, such as a head-of-wall assembly, includes a fire-rated assembly that can include a fire-rated insert and a gasket profile. The fire-rated insert can be coupled to the gasket profile to form a single unit within the head-of-wall assembly. The fire-rated assembly can expand and break to form a top section and a bottom section in response to heat which can act as a seal or barrier to block a passage of heat or fire.
