Abstract: A barrier assembly for blocking the spread of fire and smoke includes a building partition having a partition outer face and having a substantially circular partition opening, the partition opening having a certain opening inner diameter, a plastic pipe having a pipe outer diameter and passing through the partition opening, a tube having a tube outer diameter sized to fit snugly through the partition opening and having a tube inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the pipe so that there is a substantially annular space between the pipe and the tube, flange means extending from a first end of the tube to abut the partition outer face around the opening, a substantially annular gasket fit into the tube for receiving the pipe acting as a smoke barrier around the pipe, the annular gasket having a gasket inner diameter substantially larger than the pipe outer diameter to permit non-concentric positioning of the pipe within the annular gasket during barrier installation and during pipe adjustment and repl
