SpecSeal Series 22 EZ Path Device & Wall Plate Assembly

The EZ Path Series 22 Fire Rated Pathway is a pathway device designed to allow cables to penetrate fire-rated walls without the need for firestopping. This device features a built-in fire sealing system that automatically adjusts to the amount of cables installed. Once installed in a fire barrier, cables can be easily added or removed at any time without the need to remove or reinstall firestopping materials.

The EZ Path Series 22 Fire Rated Pathway consists of an enclosed heavy gauge galvanized steel pathway lined with intumescent material engineered for rapid expansion when exposed to fire or high temperatures, quickly sealing the pathway and preventing the passage of flames and smoke.

EZ Path Series 22 Fire Rated Pathway is painted safety orange for easy identification. Its compact square profile allows a maximum number of cables to be installed in a relatively small area. The pathway measures approximately 1.5” x 1.5” (37 mm) and is 10.5” (267 mm) long.

• No firestopping required
• Firestopped at all stages of use
• UL rested - low leakage
• UL Certified for the complete range of its capacity
• Match the capacity of a 2” (51 mm) conduit
• Acoustically tested

Applications

• Cables
• Cable Tray

EZ Path Series 22 Fire Rated Pathway is designed for easy installation inl walls. Tested and approved cable capacities range from 0 to 100% visual f ill. EZ Path Series 22 Fire Rated Pathway when installed with provided wall plates is designed for new cable installations. In these installations, the device does not require mechanical attachment to either the wall or the wall framing and may be installed after the wallboard has been installed. EZ Path Series 22’s split body design also allows the device to be easily disassembled and installed around previously installed cables in existing construction. EZ Path Series 22 Fire Rated Pathway provides exceptional cable capacity. A single unit installed in a wall has an equal cable carrying capacity of a 2” (51 mm) diam sleeve utilizing typical putty firestop systems (35% cable loading).

Specifications

All data, video, and communications cable bundles shall utilize an enclosed f ire-rated pathway device wherever said cables penetrate rated walls. The f ire-rated pathway shall contain a built-in fire sealing system sufficient to maintain the hourly fire rating of the barrier being penetrated. The selfcontained sealing system shall automatically adjust to the installed cable loading and shall permit cables to be installed, removed, or retrofitted without the need to remove or reinstall firestop materials. The pathway shall be UL Certified and tested to the requirements of ASTM E814 (UL1479) and CAN/ULC-S115.
