3. Fit all pathways side by side through opening.
4. Slide wall plate over pathways. With the ends of all pathways evenly aligned, set the wall plate to the correct wall thickness
Pre position and fasten wall plate to one side of pathway (fig. 3) roughly centering pathway within barrier.
5. Carefully tighten all set screws (See Fig 4).
6. Slide plate with mounted pathways tight against wall surface.
7. Fasten wall plate to wall as required (See Table A), (Fig 5).
8. Moving to the opposite side of the wall, install remaining plate making sure to tighten all set screws. Fasten plate to wall if required.
GENERAL - READ COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING
This product allows for several optional installation methods.
The pathway (device) consists of an enclosed heavy
gauge galvanized steel channel with a detachable lid.
Pathways (devices) are ordered separately. Gang plates
are designed to accommodate up to four or seven device
installations. Component requirements will vary according
to the method of installation chosen.
NOTE:
Wall installations require this device to be installed with
the top (lid) facing upward. The lid may be identified by the
EZ-Path
®
logo stamped onto the face of the steel lid. Gang plates
are asymmetrical with the stencil marking the top.

Option 1 – Installation in Finished Walls
1. Determine a suitable location for installation. Plates are
designed to allow either 4 pathways (studs 16” , 406 mm OC)
or 7 pathways (studs 24”, 610 mm OC) to be installed hori-
zontally in a row. Installation requires an opening to be cut or
formed completely through the wall (both sides) per the dimen-
sions listed in Table A. In hollow walls, care must be exer-
cised to assure that slots on both sides are properly aligned
(See Fig. 1).
2. Install gasket tape to the flat side of both plates (See Fig 2).
Apply by aligning tape to the inside edge of the framed
opening. Remove release liner and adhere tape.
Option 2 – Installing Devices Prior to Wallboard (New Wall Construction)
1. Invert gang plates such that flanges project into stud cavity and fasten directly to studs using four 5/8” (16 mm) Type S
screws on each side of stud cavity (See Fig. 6).
2. Install devices and tighten set screws provided with device using Allen wrench supplied (See Fig. 3 & 4).
3. Complete wall construction as required by design. Opening in wallboard facing shall be cut so that clearance between
devices and wallboard does not exceed 1/8” (3 mm).
4. Resulting gap shall be filled with joint compound or SpecSeal
®
brand firestop sealant at the option of the installer (See Fig. 7 & 8).
