The Problem:A hospital's fire rated barrierthe day before a
JACHO inspection.
The Solution:A pair of bulkhead plates
for (3) 2" Split Sleeve Systems. A plate for each side of the wall that acts as
the inside washer for our Split Sleeve Systems.
Apply a 3/8 bead of firestop caulk behind each plate.
Pass the cables through the slots in the Bulkhead Plate and
press against the wall on each side.
(Large
Bulkhead
installations require the plates to be screwed to the wall studs for support.)
Install the (3) Split Sleeves. Refer
to the UL System for the rating of the wall to determine the thickness of intumescent putty and if packing material
should be used in the ends of thesleeves.

Sleeve Installation Pictorial)
Document the retrofit with the supplied warning labels.
