Abstract
A fire resistant assembly, which may comprise a first layer having a lumen therein, a second layer adjacent the first layer, a first structural member disposed between the first and second layers, and a box having a cavity defined by a wall, a first opening in the wall, a flange proximate the first opening, and optionally a second opening in the wall, wherein the box is disposed between the first layer and the second layer and wherein the opening is disposed on the lumen of the first layer, the box comprising a further fire resistant feature such as an intumescent ring disposed about the second opening, a plenum wrap layer, or an intumescent layer, and various methods and apparatuses related thereto.
Claims42
A fire resistant assembly, comprising:
- a first layer having a lumen therein;
- a second layer adjacent the first layer;
- and
- a box having a cavity defined by a wall, a first opening in the wall, a flange proximate the first opening, a second opening in the wall, and an intumescent ring disposed about the second opening,
- wherein the box is disposed between the first layer and the second layer and wherein the first opening is disposed on the lumen of the first layer.
A method of providing a fire barrier in a building, the steps comprising:
- providing a first layer;
- providing a lumen in the first surface;
- providing a second layer;
- providing a box having a cavity defined by a wall, a first opening in the wall, and a flange proximate the opening disposed between the first surface and the second surface such that the opening in the box covers the lumen in the first surface;
- providing a second opening in the wall;
- providing an intumescent ring disposed around the second opening;
- disposing a device in the lumen and extending into the cavity of the box;
- and
- disposing conduit through the second opening.
A fire resistant assembly, comprising:
- a first layer having a lumen therein;
- a second layer adjacent the first layer;
- a first structural member disposed between the first and second layers;
- and
- a box having a cavity defined by a wall, a first opening in the wall, a flange proximate the first opening, and an intumescent layer disposed proximate the wall,
- wherein the box is disposed between the first layer and the second layer and wherein the opening is disposed on the lumen of the first layer.
A fire resistant assembly, comprising:
- a first layer having a lumen therein;
- a second layer adjacent the first layer;
- a first structural member disposed between the first and second layers;
- and
- a box having a cavity defined by a wall, a first opening in the wall, a flange proximate the first opening, and a plenum wrap layer disposed proximate the wall, the wall having an inside surface and an outside surface,
- wherein the box is disposed between the first layer and the second layer and wherein the opening is disposed on the lumen of the first layer.
A fire resisting sheath for use in fire barrier having a first layer, a second layer adjacent the first layer, a structural member therebetween, a box having a cavity defined by a wall, the cavity having an opening through the wall proximate the first layer, the box having a flange proximate the opening, the fire resisting sheath comprising a container formed of plenum wrap material having a cavity defined by a base wall and a perimeter wall attached to the base wall, the container having an opening opposite the base wall.
