Abstract:
A fire barrier box for placement within a fixture membrane in a fire barrier wall provides a metallic side panel box of multiple box sides, each side having a slot, and a selectively attached back panel. An intumescent liner attaches to the inner side panel walls and to the interior surface of the back panel. When a fixture is received within the side panel box, the intumescent liner, and the slots cooperatively receive fixture supply lines enabling their connection with the fixture. The selective attachment of the back panel occurs once rear access to the side panel box interior is no longer required. The completed fire barrier box attaches to the stud framing, maintaining the rating protection of the fire barrier wall.

Claim (Index 1):
A fire barrier box configured for receipt within a fixture membrane penetration in a fire barrier wall, comprising:\n a side panel box having inner side walls defining an interior space adapted to receive the fixture of the fixture membrane penetration, wherein said side panel box is metallic and wherein said side panel box comprises a plurality of box sides, each of the plurality of box sides having a slot formed therein; an intumescent liner attached to and extending over an entirety of the inner side walls of the side panel box, wherein the intumescent liner and at least one of the slots formed in each of the plurality of box sides are adapted to cooperatively receive in a thermally-sealing manner a fixture supply line extending from a location outside of the side panel box to a connection with a fixture located within the interior space; a back panel selectively attached to the side panel box in a manner defining a closed bottom to the interior space and an interior surface of the back panel; and an intumescent back panel piece attached to and covering the interior surface of the back panel.
