The Fire-Rated 093V Expansion Bead is an innovative firestopping solution that simplifies the installation of fire-rated expansion joints in drywall wall assemblies. Unlike traditional methods that require mineral wool, fire sealants, and additional backing materials, this expansion bead features a factory-integrated intumescent tape that expands when exposed to heat, helping to block the passage of fire and smoke while maintaining the assembly’s fire rating. It is rated for 1-hour and 2-hour wall assemblies, accommodates up to 3/8″ of building movement, and is UL GREENGUARD Gold Certified.
