Steps
Identify which manufacturer's systems are specified or already installed on the project to use the matching selector tool.
Use the manufacturer's selector (e.g., Hilti Firestop Selector web/app, STI's Firestop System Search & Submittals) to filter by penetrant, substrate, and construction type.
Cross-verify the selector's result against the corresponding UL Product iQ listing or manufacturer's published listing documentation, since the selector is a convenience index rather than the listing of record.
Export or print the specific system data page — not just the search result summary — for the submittal package.
If no system matches the field condition, escalate to the manufacturer's technical services for an engineering judgment rather than approximating with the nearest listed system.
Known gotchas
A manufacturer's selector reflects only that manufacturer's own listed systems — it will not surface a competitor's system that might actually fit the condition better.
Selector-tool databases can lag behind a manufacturer's latest listing filings; confirm the system is still current and listed before submitting it.
These are proprietary vendor tools without a documented public API for automated queries — treat results as needing manual verification, not machine-to-machine integration.
