  The Smooth Penetrator

Installation Instructions

Determine Penetrator size and penetration point that you want to make in the fire wall. See the Fill Chart at www.uniquefirestop.com

Up to 48 % of the aggregate cross sectional area of the Sleeve System may be filled with cables in walls rated up to 2 hours.  The remaining void to be filled with Unique Putty,  supplied within the Sleeve System.  Find the applicable U. L. Listing for your Installation.

Disassemble the Penetrator and remove one ends bushing by loosening the sliding lock couplings and using the hardware to "slide hammer" the bushing off of one end of the Sleeve. This will prevent damage to the bushing.  Be careful when installing the bushing after the Sleeve System is in the wall (it will shatter !).

If you are installing more than a few Sleeve Systems, for sheetrock, you might consider a cordless drill (with level). Use the proper sized hole saws on 6 inch bit extensions. See the cable load charts for Systems O. D..  Block walls should be core drilled.

After the penetration is made, reassemble one side and slide the Penetrator through the wall, seating the first washer against the wall.  Adjust the sliding set screw lock to equalize the length of protrusion.  As long as the hole is the same as the O D of the sleeve, no caulk is required behind the washers. 

Go to the other side of the fire wall, slide the washer over the Penetrator and seat it against the wall.  Slide the second sliding lock coupling up to the second washer. While pulling on the Penetrator, push the second  lock coupling against the washer/wall until it seats.  Lock down the sliding lock couplings and carefully install the plastic bushing on the end.

The Sleeve can now be used to pull your cables through the wall and on to their destination. Intumescent "Unique putty" for the sealing of our Systems are packaged with the Sleeve.  For the Fill, Void or Cavity Material, refer to the applicable U. L. Listing.
