New EZ-Path Cable Pathway Requires NO Firestopping

The EZ Solution for Cables and Wires Penetrating Fire Rated Walls

     SOMERVILLE, NJ, March 14, 2003--Specified Technologies, Inc. (STI) has introduced the EZ-Path cable pathway, an innovative, yet simple, solution for cables and wires penetrating fire rated walls. Quick and economical, EZ-Path installs in minutes and there is nothing else to buy. Now cabling can be easily increased, decreased, and repositioned without removing and re-installing firestopping. It offers zero-100% visual cable fill and the self-enclosed firestopping automatically adjusts to the cable load. Whether empty or full, EZ-Path remains firestopped 100% of the time. EZ-Path is UL® Classified and meets code requirements. It features STIs fast-acting intumescent technology and carries a 2-hour UL® system rating. Painted safety orange, EZ-Path provides a professional engineered appearance. It is the perfect solution for new or retrofit applications. Actual outside dimensions are 3" x 3" x 10.5" and single, duplex, or triplex wall plates are available for additional capacity, segregation of cables, and cable management.
