Abstract
A fire-rated component for a linear gap between a wall assembly and an adjacent structure. The component includes an elongate metal profile and a fire-rated board member. The elongate metal profile has a vertical leg, an upper leg and a lower leg. The upper leg extends in a first direction from an upper edge of the vertical leg. The lower leg extends in the first direction from a lower edge of the vertical leg. The fire-rated board member is positioned within a space defined by the vertical leg, the upper leg and the lower leg.
