          2.2SHOWER VALVE MEMBRANE PENETRATIONS
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Barri-Ring solves the existing problem for the protection of the membrane penetrations created in a fire rated wall by shower valves. This is perhaps the most overlooked firestop required item due to the complexities of a moving valve, numerous supply lines, and most times a non-metallic escutcheon plate. Barri-Ring is inserted into the valve access hole cut into the gypsum, thus eliminating any labor associated with the valve protection. Delete if not required.
 
          A.Basis of Design: Barri-Ring; as manufactured by FireShield, LLC. Installs into a 4-1/2 to 5 inch (108 to 127 mm) hole in the gypsum.

          2.Center opening allows access to line shut-off screws.
          3.Tested in back to back configurations.
          4.Minimum 2-1/2 inch shaft wall included.
          5.Metal and wood stud framing.
          6.Non-metallic and metallic escutcheon plates.

          7)FTH Rating: 1 hour.
          8)FTH Rating: 2 hour.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** BarriBox solves the existing problem of protecting the membrane penetrations created in fire rated wall by shower valves. This is perhaps the most overlooked firestop item due to the complexities of a moving valve, numerous supply lines, and often a non-metallic escutcheon plate. BarriBox can be inserted into a wall for new construction, or slipped over existing pipes in a retrofit application. Delete if not required.
