a documentation/warning label, and a package of
Unique Putty.

 |
A common
penetration violation in a sheetrock firewall. A Sleeve will control
and direct the expansion of the fire rated intumescent putty. Without a sleeve,
this penetration may fail to restore the hourly rating of this wall. |
|
After you clean up the hole,
slide the bottom half of the threaded sleeve under the cables. |
|
Slide the top half over the
cables, maintaining sleeve polarity, until both halves protrude evenly. |
|
Work the cables through the slot
in the first washer and work the washer down the sleeve,
against the wall.
The first washers slot should be positioned
at the 6 o clock position. |
|
Install the second slotted
washer, inverting the slots 180 degrees from each other. (12 o clock) |
|
Work the cables through the
slotted coupling (again, maintaining polarity) and screw it down the two threaded sleeve
halves and against the washers. Repeat this procedure on the other side of the wall.
Coupling should be hand tightened only. |
|
Install a min. inch thickness of
the supplied intumescent fire stop putty to both ends of the Sleeve System.
See our U.L. Systems
page for Systems rated up to 4 hours. Intumescent putty is supplied
with the system. |
|
Install the
"split bushing", taking care not to open the bushing any more than is needed to
get the cables in. |
 |
Install the documentation label
provided with the system and photograph your installed system. NOW, BRING ON THE INSPECTOR! |
