Guides for
Developing a Specification
When Construction System is Not Yet
Known
If you are developing a specification
and do not yet know the construction system, you can use the
guidelines and documents available on this page, in conjunction with
free, personal consultation at ProSet Systems, to develop a
specification. If you do know the construction system that will be
used, you can go back to the
ProSet Product
Information page to access the information you need to develop a
specification.
Sleeves
and Firestopping
Use ProSet "Firestop Penetrators",
Warnock Hersey classified and listed in the building materials
directory. They have been tested in accordance with the ASTM E-814
standards and can be used for all applicable pipe penetrations and
plumbing fixture floor openings through Fire-Rated floors, walls or
floor/ceiling assemblies, in accordance with the Manufacturer's
instructions.
You can download a pdf (Adobe Acrobat)
