I have an existing 1-hour fire barrier wall that I need to install a Head of Wall joint in at the metal deck location, but I have a steel beam in place that is just offset from the fire barrier top of wall condition. This beam is blocking access to the head of wall and I cant install the joint. Does Hilti offer a firestop HOW joint product that I can install from one side for a partition that is already in place?
