Fire-stopping addresses openings and penetrations in designated fire-resistance-rated assemblies. A suitable approach depends on the wall or floor system, the penetrating item and an applicable tested system; ordinary thermal insulation is not a universal substitute.
Provide CJM with your project drawings, assembly details and inspection requirements. Confirm which work is included, what documentation is needed and how it coordinates with other trades. Product selection and installation must follow the applicable listed system and project requirements.
What to discuss with CJM
- Review plans, penetrations and required assembly details.

Questions about fire stopping insulation
Does ordinary insulation make a wall fire rated?
No. A rating belongs to a complete tested assembly, not an isolated material.
