I'd like to request an Engineering Judgement for a Fire Rated Wall-to-Wall Joint. The condition would be at a 2 hour fire rated wall. We have an HSS 12x12x1/2 Steel Column (coated with intumescent Fire Resistant Paint) IN-LINE with a 12" ground face CMU wall. While I can't find a UL Assembly for this condition, I believe an Engineering Judgement has been produced for this in the past based on discussions found in on-line forums. If an EJ exists, is there someone that could point me in the right direction?
Hi Ben, please see below on how to submit an EJ.
Thank you,
Chase Hellan
Sr. Fire Protection Engineer
We are proud to announce the launch of the HILTI CONSTRUCTION PLATFORM (HCP), our company’s new engineering service website. This platform will be the home for all of your Fire Protection Design needs. Instead of emailing a PDF form for a request, the platform enables you to create new Engineering Judgment (EJ) requests, submit revisions to previously completed EJs or connect with an FPE on a question. HCP also enables you to track the status of your request.
You can find more information on how to access this new platform here: http://www.hilti.com/ej (US) or http://www.hilti.ca/ej (Canada.) If you have any questions or require assistance navigating the platform, please call Customer Service for help at 1-800-879-8000 (US) or 1-800-363-4458 (Canada.)
Along with HCP, Hilti is excited to announce our new mobile app for all your firestop needs: Hilti Firestop Selector. Using the Firestop Selector app gives you easy access to the Hilti Fire Protection Design Team from the jobsite, on the road, or in the office to request a new EJ, an EJ Revision, or a Question anytime, anywhere. You can download the app using the appropriate link below.
