Hilti FE asking on behalf of my specifier....
My architect has a CW mechanical attachment on the face of the slab and it bends to attach underneath the slab as well. They plan to use one of our Zero spandrel firestop systems. If any of the mechanical attachment is below the floor slab, does it need to be protected with mineral wool? If not, how can approx. 5" deep of mineral wool backing for the FS system be enough to protect the mechanical attachment of the curtain wall itself?
Hi Elaine,
This is a great question that I'm going to have to do a bit of research on before forming an answer. I'll answer on this same thread to let you know what I find out.
Thanks,
Stephen S.
Hi Stephen S., did you do any research to get an answer? My specifier is asking.
