If anyone can refer me to the code-book-page on this subject I would
appreciate it. The purpose for filling these top plate penetrations is for
fire stop. Different counties are stating different types of foam and or
caulk for this. One county says the yellow foam from Home Depot in the can
is acceptable.  While another county wants foam or caulk to have a fire
rating label on the label. Question is does the caulking have to be fire
rated and if so where is that in the code?(the penetrations are from
electric wiring and vent stacks) Thanks in advance for your help.
