OS1 |
Objective | OS1 Fire Safety |
Attribution | |
Application | Application 1: Fire protection for openings in cold-formed steel
stud wall framing that accommodate fire dampers in
non-loadbearing exterior and interior walls required
to have a fire-resistance rating, in buildings to
which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application
of Part 9]. |

Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of an inadequate resistance to
the conduction of heat from a fire damper casing to wall framing, which could
lead to the distortion of the framing, which could lead to the premature failure
of the damper, which could lead to the premature failure of fire-rated assemblies,
which could lead to harm to persons. |
