The Fire Trak System has been developed to solve the problem
of firestopping the heads of fire rated partitions, while still
allowing for movement of roof or floor decks. It consists of the
Fire Trak ceiling runner, with a shoulder that is offset the
thickness of the wall material. A second piece of wall material is
fitted tight to the roof or floor deck and then is attached to the
shoulder. This allows the deck and the Fire Trak ceiling runner
to move in relation to the wall studs, and allows the piece of
wall material attached to the Fire Trak to slide over the primary
wall material.
Simplicity
The Fire Trak System uses standard materials that are
used to construct the wall. No special training of
installers is required.
Life Cycling
This issue seems to be a shortcoming of most systems, the Fire
Trak System is not affected by repeated movement of roof or floor
decks. It maintains its firestopping effectiveness
indefinitely. Life
cycling will be more important with new test standards under
development.
Sound Control
The Fire Trak System creates such a tight seal that its superior
sound control characteristics may have applications even when the
walls do not have to be firestopped.
Environmentally Friendly
The extra wall cladding material used in the Fire Trak System is
usually smaller pieces of wall material that normally have to be
hauled to a landfill as scrap.
Economy
The Fire Trak System can often be installed for a
fraction of the cost of other tested systems.
Building Code Compliance
The Fire Trak System meets the requirements of the
three model codes.
