EZ Path® Fire Rated Pathway Series provides complete self-contained cable penetration solutions designed to allow cables to penetrate fire-rated walls and floors without the need for traditional firestopping. Ready-to-install with built-in fire and smoke sealing systems that automatically adjust to cable loading, this innovative series allows cables to be easily added or removed at any time while maintaining fire ratings up to 4 hours.

Series Overview & Capacity Comparison

Key Features & Benefits

• No firestopping required – built-in intumescent sealing system eliminates additional materials
• Easy installation – simple wall/floor penetration with no complex firestopping procedures
• Firestopped at all stages – maintains fire rating from 0-100% cable fill across all models
