The industry’s most complete cable sealing solution for fire, smoke and acoustics
The EZ-Path family of solutions addresses cable penetrations through fire-rated floors and walls and non fire-rated smoke partitions. For 20 years, health care facilities have depended on EZ-Path to provide maintenance-free assurance of fire and life safety code compliance.
- EZ-Path Fire-Rated Pathways complete the cable pathway where data and communication cabling traverses fire resistance-rated assemblies, including smoke barriers. The self-sealing device allows for easy cable moves, adds and changes to keep up with technology upgrades while keeping facilities up to code.
- EZ-Path Smoke and Acoustical Pathways are used in non fire-rated smoke partitions. These devices also self-seal and help restrict smoke passage while also providing an acoustical seal to help provide patient privacy.
- EZ-Path Retrofit Devices help restore integrity of fire-rated wall assemblies where firestopping of existing cable sleeves or cable trays has been damaged over time due to cable moves, adds and changes.
EZ-Path Solutions are the gold standard for data and communication cable penetrations and often can pay for themselves with only a few cable changes. To learn more about these products, visit Specified Technologies Inc.
