Fire resistant connections embodying heat transfer means.

摘要

A fire resistant connection (16) having heat transfer means (46) cooperatively associated therewith and that embodies a U-like sealing means (44). The fire resistant connection (16) with heat transfer means (46) is operative for purposes of effectuating the establishment of a fire resistant seal between mating surfaces (22, 18). The heat transfer means (46) includes a first heat transfer element (58), and a second heat transfer element (60). The subject fire resistant connection (16) includes the aforementioned U-like sealing means (44) and the aforereference mating surfaces (22, 18).
