Fire Resistance Ratings - ANSI/UL 263

This document provides details on Design No. U314, which allows for a 1-hour fire resistance rating for bearing walls and 26 minutes for finish ratings using specific materials. The design calls for wood studs spaced 24 inches apart with 5/8 inch thick gypsum boards or 3/4 inch thick boards nailed to the framing. Joints and nail heads must be covered, and insulation is optionally allowed in the stud cavities.
