A firestop system is a specific construction consisting of a fire-rated wall or floor assembly, the penetrating item(s) passing through an opening in the assembly, or a joint in the assembly, and the firestop products or devices used to prevent the spread of fire for the prescribed rating period.

A firestop system is a combination of products, either premanufactured or assembled in the field that, once installed correctly to a U.L. rated design, prevent the passage of flames, heat, or gases between compartments.

A firestop system consists of a fire rated wall or floor, a penetrating item (pipe, cable, conduit, etc.) and the firestop sealant. Only the total firestop system is tested and listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., (UL), Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC) and/or Warnock Hersey (WHI), not just the firestop product alone.
