About This Program

Does your specified joint protection perform as it is intended to perform? This presentation will address these issues as well as present what you need to know about how intumescent material provides joint protection and updates to UL 2079 testing.

This course will also provide information on steel shapes with intumescent fire stopping. It will help you to understand what information UL head-of-wall and other perimeter fire assemblies provide.
