Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability that penetrations of fire stopping materials will not be sealed with fire stopping material, which could lead to the passage of fire through openings at these penetrations, which could lead to the spread of fire within spaces that are fire stopped, which could lead to damage to the building.
