standards.
Application of Firestop Blocks
2a.If no penetrations are located, build up Firestop 
Block CFS-BL, firmly seated, within opening.
2b.If penetrations are located, build up Firestop Block 
CFS-BL, firmly seated, while cutting blocks with a 
knife to suit the placed penetrations.
3.  Finish building up Firestop Blocks until entire 
opening is filled.
4.  Completely fill cable spaces, gaps between blocks 
and pipes, and joints with FS-ONE Firestop Sealant 
(as required).
5.  For maintenance reasons, a penetration seal could 
be permanently marked with an identification plate.  
In such a case, mark the identification plate and 
fasten it in a visible position next to the seal.
