Description:
The EZ Path Series 84+ Fire‑Rated Pathway is an engineered passive fire‑protection device designed to accommodate high‑density cable installations passing through fire‑rated wall assemblies. The pathway utilizes integrated, self‑adjusting intumescent pads that maintain a constant seal around cables by automatically conforming to variations in cable fill, eliminating the need for manual maintenance or re‑packing. Under elevated temperatures or direct fire exposure, the intumescent materials expand, forming a dense char, generating a tight seal that mitigates the transmission of smoke, hot gases, and flame through the penetration. This automatic activation ensures the preservation of the barrier’s fire‑resistance rating while supporting continuous cable management operations, including moves, adds, and changes, without compromising system integrity.
Device Dimensions: Nom. 7-1/4” W x 4-5/8” H x 14” L
Advantages:
- Compatible with EZ Path® Series 44+ Pathway Device
- Maximizes usable cavity area in 16” and 24” stud layouts
- Modular design enables alignment with standard cable trays
- Multiple ganged pathways utilizing available wall bracket kits provide additional capacity or segregation of cables by use, type, installer, or vendor as desired.
Disadvantages
- Cost, competitors attempt to displace EZ Path by selling on price direct to contractors. This conversion negatively impacts the facility owner leaving them with long-term maintenance issues and reccurring costs.
