A conduit sleeve through a rated corridor wall is installed, but the annular space is left open above the ceiling. What correction belongs on the punch list?

Correct Answer

B) Install the approved firestopping system for the rated-wall penetration

Electrical raceway penetrations through rated assemblies need the approved firestopping system to maintain the wall rating. Other choices do not restore the tested assembly or rely on the conduit material alone.

Answer Options
A
Handle electrical penetration firestopping by choosing to cover the opening with escutcheon paint only
B
Install the approved firestopping system for the rated-wall penetration
C
Stuff cardboard into the gap until inspection
D
Accept the installation after startup if no leak, trip, or alarm appears

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Electrical raceway penetrations through rated assemblies need the approved firestopping system to maintain the wall rating. Other choices do not restore the tested assembly or rely on the conduit material alone.
