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 slotted coupling around the cables (again, maintaining polarity) and screw it down against the washers. The coupling should be hand tightened only. Repeat this procedure on the other side of the wall. |

Install a min. inch thickness of the supplied
intumescent fire stop putty in 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 bushings", 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 take a picture of your installed
system. NOW, BRING ON THE INSPECTOR! |
