  3. Fire Rated Product Specialties Corp ABOUT US FRPS is the premier manufacturer of code compliant fire-rated enclosures and related products for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and low voltage devices in one hour and two hour rated assemblies.

  4. Fire Rated Product Specialties Corp • WHY TODAY? WHY NOW? • Several recent events this decade have brought passive fire protection to the forefront: • Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana • 9-11, The Twin Towers, New York City • MGM Grand Hotel Fire, Las Vegas

  5. Fire Rated Product Specialties Corp CODE REQUIREMENTS The 2009 International Building Code (IBC) Chapter 7 for membrane penetrations in fire-resistance ratings states: “The fire-resistance rating of building elements shall be determined on accordance with the test procedures set forth in ASTM E-119 or in accordance with Section 703.3. Where materials, systems or devices that have not been tested as part of a fire-resistance-rated assembly are incorporated into the assembly, sufficient data shall be made available to the building official to show that the required fire-resistance rating is not reduced. Materials and methods of construction used to protect joints and penetrations in fire-resistance-rated building elements shall not reduce the required fire-resistance rating.”

  6. Fire Rated Product Specialties Corp FIRE DRAFTING DETAIL NO! YES!

  7. Fire Rated Product Specialties Corp • FAQ’s • Why FRPS enclosures? • Fire Compliance is the law.  The 2009 IBC Chapter 7 for membrane penetrations in fire-resistance ratings states: • “Penetrations of membranes that are part of a fire-resistance-rated horizontal or vertical assembly shall comply with • section 712.1.1.1 or 712.4.1.1.2. Where assemblies are required to have a minimum 1-hour fire-resistance rating, all • fixtures or devices shall be installed such that the required fire resistance of these assemblies will not be reduced.” • 2.  Why can’t I use a drywall enclosure? • Site-constructed drywall enclosures are subject to the widest variations in quality of installation and consequently • performance.  Those who build these drywall versions may not understand or appreciate the importance of the function • of the required enclosure.  The drywall option DOES NOT perform, and it is NOT a tested and listed configuration. • 3.  How do FRPS products provide cost savings? • FRPS enclosures not only keep you in compliance of the fire code requirements, but they provide substantial cost savings.  • When using FRPS enclosures, contractors avoid the stacking of trades and the retracing of their steps 3-4 times on a job • site.  This gives them full control of their labor costs and secures bottom line profits. • 4.  How do FRPS enclosures differ from other enclosures? • FRPS enclosures have all been FIRE TESTED.  Always ask your wholesaler or manufacturer for the fire test listing number.  • This will ensure that the product has been FIRE TESTED and is APPROVED to be used in the qualified fire rated assembly.   • "Classified"  IS NOT equivalent to  "Tested and Approved, Listing # 12345“ (i.e. W/N Listing No. 20182 for FRPS products).

  12. Fire Rated Product Specialties Corp CLASSIFIED vs. LISTED & LABELED Many manufacturers state that their products are “UL Classified”.  Be cautious when you see this statement. “UL Classified” only implies that the product QUALIFIES to be listed, and that it is “eligible for listing”.    “UL Classified”  DOES NOT mean that the product has been  FIRE-TESTED in SUCH ASSEMBLIES. Always ask your wholesaler or manufacturer for the fire test listing number.  This will ensure that the product has been FIRE TESTED and is APPROVED to be used in the qualified fire rated assembly.
