Sprinkler branch pipe through-penetration with plastic sleeve - missing firestop in concrete fire separation. The space between the sleeve and the pipe is the annulus or annular space
The annulus, or annular space, is the space between a penetrant and anything that surrounds it, such as the sides of an opening or a sleeve, as the case may be.[1] It is named after the corresponding geometric concept due to its shape.
