A fire-rated angle piece and wall assemblies or other assemblies that incorporate the fire-rated angle piece, in which the angle piece can include an intumescent or other fire-resistant material strip. The angle can be attached adjacent to a corner of a framing member, such as metal tracks, headers, header tracks, sill plates, bottom tracks, metal studs, wood studs or wall partitions, and placed between the framing member and a wall board member at a perimeter of a wall assembly to create a fire block arrangement. A fire spray material can be applied over a portion of the angle piece.

1. A fire-rated assembly for a linear wall gap, comprising: a track that has a web, a first flange and a second flange, wherein the web is substantially planar and has a first side edge and a second side edge, the first flange and the second flange extend in the same direction from the first and sec
1. A fire-rated assembly for a linear wall gap, comprising: a track that has a web, a first flange and a second flange, wherein the web is substantially planar and has a first side edge and a second side edge, the first flange and the second flange extend in the same direction from the first and second side edges, respectively, wherein each of the first and second flanges is substantially planar such that the track defines a substantially U-shaped cross section;an angle that has a first flange and a second flange, wherein each of the first flange and the second flange is substantially planar such that the angle defines a substantially L-shaped cross section, each of the first and second flanges has a free end opposite a corner of the angle;a heat-expandable intumescent strip attached to the angle and extending lengthwise along an interior surface of the second flange;wherein, in use, the first flange of the angle is positioned between the web of the track and an overhead structure with the second flange of the angle being positioned adjacent one of the first or second flanges of the track such that the intumescent strip is between the second flange and the one of the first or second flanges of the track. 2. The assembly of claim 1, wherein an upper edge of the intumescent strip is spaced below an upper end of the second leg thereby defining an upper portion of the second leg that is not covered by the intumescent strip. 3. The assembly of claim 2, wherein a lower edge of the intumescent strip is spaced above a lower end of the second leg thereby defining a lower portion of the second leg that is not covered by the intumescent strip. 4. The assembly of claim 3, wherein a height of the intumescent strip is about twice a height of the upper portion of the second leg. 5. The assembly of claim 4, wherein a height of the lower portion of the second leg is about twice the height of the intumescent strip. 6. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the first flange of the angle is secured in place by compression between the web of the track and the overhead structure created by a plurality of fasteners that attach the track to the overhead structure and without the use of additional fasteners that pass through the first flange of the angle. 7. The assembly of claim 1, wherein a height of the intumescent strip is equal to or less than about one-half of a height of the second leg. 8. The assembly of claim 1, wherein a height of the intumescent strip is equal to or less than about one-third of a height of the second leg. 9. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the second flange of the angle is approximately the same height as the one of the first and second flange of the track. 10. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of slots on the first and second flanges of the track, wherein the slots extend in a direction perpendicular to a length of the first track and the second flange of the angle covers an entirety of the slots. 11. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of studs and a wall board, wherein an upper end of each of the studs is received within and secured to the track and the wall board is secured to the plurality of studs, wherein the second flange of the angle is positioned between the wall board and the one of the first and second flanges of the track. 12. The assembly of claim 11, wherein the wall assembly defines a maximum distance of relative movement between the track and the plurality and studs or the wall board, wherein a height of the intumescent strip is about one-half or less than the maximum distance. 13. The assembly of claim 11, further comprising a layer of an elastomeric fire spray material applied to the overhead structure and the angle. 14. The assembly of claim 13, wherein the layer of fire spray material is not applied to the wall board. 15. The assembly of claim 1, wherein an angle defined between the first flange and the second flange of the angle is less than 90 degrees such that a gap is created between an upper end of the second flange of the angle and an upper end of the one of the first and second flanges of the track. 16. The assembly of claim 15, wherein the angle is approximately 87 degrees. 17. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising a second intumescent strip that extends along and is attached to a portion of the first flange of the angle such than the portion contacts the overhead structure when the fire-rated assembly is assembled to the overhead structure. 18. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the track is a footer or header track. 19. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the track is a stud framing member made from wood or metal. 20. A method of assembling a fire-rated wall joint, comprising: securing a header track to a ceiling;positioning a horizontal leg of an elongated, generally L-shaped fire-rated angle piece between the header track and the ceiling such that at least a portion of an intumescent material strip located on a vertical leg of the angle piece faces toward the header track;positioning upper ends of a plurality of studs into the header track;securing at least one wall board member to the plurality of studs such that the vertical leg of the angle piece is positioned between the at least one wall board member and the header track. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein the positioning of the horizontal leg between the header track and the ceiling is done after the securing of the header track to the ceiling. 22. The method of claim 20, further comprising applying a layer of an elastomeric fire spray to the ceiling and the angle piece and not to the at least one wall board member.
