Abstract:
A fire-rated angle piece and wall assemblies or other assemblies that incorporate the fire-rated angle piece, in which the angle piece can include an intumescent or other fire-resistant material strip. The angle can be attached adjacent to a corner of a framing member, such as metal tracks, headers, header tracks, sill plates, bottom tracks, metal studs, wood studs or wall partitions, and placed between the framing member and a wall board member at a perimeter of a wall assembly to create a fire block arrangement. A fire spray material can be applied over a portion of the angle piece.

Claim (Index 1):
A fire-rated assembly for sealing a linear wall gap along an overhead structure, the fire-rated assembly comprising:\n a bottom track comprising a web, a first flange and a second flange, the first and second flanges extending in an upward direction from opposing side edges of the web, the bottom track defining an interior space between the web and the inwardly-facing surfaces of the first and second flanges; a plurality of studs that are spaced from one another along the bottom track, each of the plurality of studs having a bottom end received within the interior space of the bottom track, each of the plurality of studs extending in a generally vertical direction from the bottom track; a top track attached to the overhead structure, the top track comprising a web, a first flange and a second flange, the first and second flanges extending in a downward direction from opposing side edges of the web, the top track defining an interior space between the web and the inwardly-facing surfaces of the first and second flanges, wherein upper ends of each of the plurality of studs are received within the interior space of the top track; an angle piece comprising a first flange and a second flange, the second flange oriented at an angle relative to the first flange, the first flange and the second flange being connected to one another along an edge thereby defining a corner, the first flange extending in a direction parallel with the overhead structure; the first and second flanges being formed from a non-metal material; a heat-expandable intumescent strip attached to at least one of the first and second flanges of the angle piece, the heat-expandable intumescent strip having an activation temperature that is lower than a melting temperature of the non-metal material; and a gasket attached to the first flange of the angle piece, wherein the gasket contacts the overhead structure to seal the linear wall gap.
