Simply a Better Way to Firestop
Firestopping through concrete used to mean three things: pouring the concrete, core drilling holes, and firestopping later. 3M™ Fire Barrier Cast-In Devices for Plastic Pipes eliminate the time and expense of firestopping non-metallic penetrants using extra materials such as pipe devices, intumescent strips and caulk. This allows for a more secure, permanent firestop installation (PDF, 560 Kb) before concrete is poured. A series of built-in tear strips makes for fast, easy height adjustment in ½ inch increments: using only a pliers, installers can quickly adjust the height of the device from its maximum 8 inches (203.2 mm) to as low as 2-1/2 inches (57.2 mm). The device secures easily to floor decking, and its one-piece design withstands the everyday impact and wear of the construction site. Its white cap, easily visible after pour, signifies it as a pass-through device for non-metallic penetrants.
