The System consist of a 6 inch square metal plate
with a 1or 2 inch sleeve (6 inches
long) welded at a 45 degree angle to
the 6 inch square plate.
A plastic
bushing and a pair of expanding wall anchors for use in 5/8 thick fire
rated dry wall. A small amount of Unique putty is
included.

Determine the cable wall outlets location and place the pointed leading
edge of the sleeve plate directly above your cable outlet (above the grid).

sure plate fits flush against the wall. Now, remove the plate and go on to the next
step.
(Be sure to clean out the back of the wall where the hole
was made by the sleeve.) |

Apply
a small bead of (non intumescent) firestop caulk to the back of the plate and around the
sleeve to seal the Membrane Penetrator to the wall.
Re-insert the system in to the hole you made. |

Now,
carefully drive the expanding anchors through the face of the system and
in the drywall. |

There
are small slots in the holes for the anchor to grab, allowing you to fully expand the
anchor while securing the plate flush to the wall. Note: The Membrane
Penetrator is now permanently installed. Don't forget to carefully
push the bushing back on.
Drop your cables through the
sleeve and down to the wall outlet. |
