EZ-PATH® Four & Seven Ganga Mounting Plates
ZIS1005 - 3345
Option 3 – Large Block Outs in Concrete Floors and Walls
1. Form or cut opening to allow gang plate to overlap a minimum 1” (25 mm) on both sides. Fasten
gang plates to concrete using 1” long by 1/8” (25 mm x 3 mm) diameter steel masonry screws
(See Fig. 9).
2. Center desired number of devices within floor or wall assembly and tighten set screws provided
with device using Allen wrench supplied.
3. Install SpecSeal® Firestop Mortar, mortar or hydraulic cement into void between periphery of
opening and device(s) to a minimum depth of 4-1/2” (114 mm) in floors and 6” (152 mm) in walls.
INSTALLING or PULLING CABLES
A resilient liner provides an adjustable seal within the pathway device. Liner must be protected from
damage while adding or removing cables. Wrap cable ends with a suitable low friction tape before
inserting into the pathway. Where cable lubricants are used, low solids, water-based products are
recommended. This device is designed to be fully functional at all cable loadings from completely
empty to visually filled, and cables should easily slide through the pathway using minimal effort. IF
RESISTANCE IS ENCOUNTERED, DO NOT FORCE CABLES OR CABLE BUNDLES THROUGH
THE PATHWAY. DAMAGE MAY RESULT. Upper curved liner may be depressed when inserting
cables, if necessary, using a flat, smooth implement and then removing it after cables are installed.
The rectangular shape of the loading area coupled with gentle pressure exerted by resilient liners
will naturally distribute the cables at a relatively uniform height across the width of the device. The
use of a cable dressing/combing instrument to straighten and organize cables may help to maximize
usable space within the pathway device.
GROUNDING
At the option of the installer, this device may be grounded. After device(s) has been installed, insert
ground screws where indicated (See Fig. 10). For installations using single, double, or triple wall plates,
or optional positioning clamps, two ground screws are required and are included in these kits.
LABELING
Labels are provided with the device as well as wall plate kits. Larger orange colored label is intended
to be used to identify the device’s installer as well as to provide applicable UL System information.
Smaller secondary labels are included with double, triple, four and seven gang mounting plates
plates as an optional method for identifying or marking cable types, uses, or trades. Two sets of
labels are provided for marking both sides of wall or floor.

MAINTENANCE
No maintenance of the device is normally required. Interior of device should be inspected before
and after any modifications to cable bundle. If any damage to intumescent pads lining top and
bottom of the device is found, contact the factory to determine if replacement is required.
