The Administrator from a local hospital calls your office. He is concerned about some cables penetrating fire-rated walls and saw you listed as a Certified Installer on the UNIQUE Fire Stop Products Map of Certified Installers on our website. The Joint Commission will pay him a visit soon and he is about to panic. He is interested in our Split Sleeve System. Can you help him? They have (50) Cat 5 UTP cables that are routed through a firewall with (4) sheets of 5/8" fire rated gypsum. The cables are .20" in diameter.

The hospital is calling again. Now they are installing new cables and would like for you to install sleeve systems for their job. They are running (100) Cat 5E cables measuring .25" each, through a cinder block wall. The wall is not reinforced with concrete or steel rebar. When you've decided which UNIQUE Fire Stop product to use, go to that product page and use the information there plus the article, Firestopping by the Numbers, to answer the following questions.

Your new client is now expanding their offices to include running cables between floors. You must core drill and route (175) Cat 5 cables vertically between floors. The cables are .20" in diameter. This is a metal pan, poured with a 3" slab of concrete.

Engineering is perplexed about routing cables inside his fire-rated walls from above the ceiling grid. He has on many occasions seen contractors just pop a hole in the drywall with a screw driver and drop the cables in and fish them out. NOW, the State Fire Marshal will require the membrane penetration be done with an acceptable "tested" System. He wants the existing membrane penetration violations retrofitted to restore the rating of the wall and has once again hired you. Think about this for a moment and answer the questions below.

Hospital administration loves your work and is once again calling with a new problem. There are seven (7) abandoned core bores on the 3rd floor and the Inspector is demanding something be done about them. They pose a fire hazard. All 7 of them are 4.5" holes in a 6" slab. Five (5) of the holes will be left unused for the foreseeable future. The other two (2) holes will be reused for (110) count (.20) cables, one immediately and the other one in a few months. What should you recommend for the hospital going forward?

A new building is being built at the hospital. You are responsible for "future proofing" all cable penetrations for the life of the building. No small task. It is a 5 story building and Admin wants all pathways in the firewalls to be alpha/numerically ID'd for designated crafts to use when they get there. The functions will include the nurse call system, CATV, security, voice, data, and more. What to do? Life of the building? NO STRESS!
