Unique fire Stop Products Threaded End Caps
UNIQUE Threaded Endcaps are designed for sealing the ends of abandoned threaded sleeve systems in firewalls. Firestop sleeve systems in firewalls are not allowed by ANY jurisdiction to be left open or unattended overnight, on weekends or EVER. The National Electric Code requires that abandoned cables be removed from sleeves to reduce the fuel load in a fire. As abandoned cables are harvested, sleeves are left empty and must be firestopped and sealed.
Any unprotected penetration can affect the integrity of a fire-rated barrier. Threaded endcaps for empty sleeves provide a way to address that opening as part of the building’s overall firestop protection. This helps contractors maintain the wall’s intended protection even when a cable pathway is out of service.
The reusable design also gives installers flexibility when building systems change over time. Installation is simple and requires only a few steps, as outlined in our installation pictorial. After removing the abandoned cables and cleaning the sleeve ends, screw each endcap on by hand until it seats. Threaded endcaps for empty sleeves provide a practical way to maintain a firewall’s integrity.
Our Threaded Endcaps are available in 3 sizes to fit our (IMC-rigid) 1”, 2”, and 4” diameter Threaded Firestop Sleeve Systems or any threaded sleeve made to IMC specs. Endcaps come in sets of two. The required intumescent putty is included with our Threaded Endcap Systems.
