STI EZ-Path 44+ Series Installation Sheet

EZPATH® Series 44+ can be installed in a variety of different applications through the use of different accessories. This sheet provides installation information
for wall applications. The pathway (device) consists of a heavy gauge galvanized steel channel with detachable lid. Other accessories such as multigang wall
brackets, floor plates, or multi-gang floor brackets must be ordered separately and are covered under separate installation sheets.

INSTALLING PATHWAY USING WALL PLATES

Pathway is installed through wall and attached using wall plates to sandwich the wall. Installation of single devices require no
attachment; however, pre-drilled holes are provided for optional attachment if desired.
1. If necessary, pre-install required set screws in wall plates.
2. Install a wall plate around pathway making sure that set screw flanges are facing towards the end of the device. NOTE: Position
plate so that the stamping on the plate aligns with the lid of the raceway. Adjust position of plate to accommodate for thickness of
wall (Fig. 3). This will center the pathway within the wall. When properly adjusted, tighten set screws to lock plate onto pathway.
3. Place one of two provided intumescent gaskets around opposite end of pathway and carefully slide it back to fit snugly against
back side (wall side) of plate.
4. Insert pathway through wall (with the stamping facing upwards) using previously installed wall plate and gasket as a stop (See Fig. 4).
5. Moving to the opposite side of the wall, install remaining gasket around pathway and slide toward wall.
6. Install remaining wall plate around pathway (with the stamping facing upwards) and slide it toward wall surface. While pulling
pathway toward you, push wall plate and gasket tightly to wall and tighten set screws. Check pathway for excessive play. If
pathway appears to be loose or can easily be moved, readjust wall plates as necessary to tighten pathway firmly against wall.

GENERAL - READ COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING

CREATING THE OPENING

Gypsum Board Walls
(Rectangular Openings)
1. Locate suitable area of the wall to penetrate making sure that there are no studs, wires, pipes, or other obstructions
located within the wall.
2. Mark a rectangular opening nominally 4-5/8" (118 mm) high by 4-1/8" (105 mm) wide. Make sure opening is square
and plumb. The inside of the wall plates may be used as a template (See Fig. 1).
3. Using a keyhole saw, cut gypsum wallboard (See Fig. 2). Cutting to the outside of the line will produce a slightly
oversized opening. Mark and cut opposite side of the wall, exercising care to align both openings. Insert path-
way and check for fit. Remove pathway.
4. Install pathway per instructions below.
Gypsum Board Walls
(Round Openings)
As an alternate to the rectangular opening, using a hole saw, cut a 6" (152 mm) diameter opening in both sides of the wall.
Concrete or Masonry Walls
Cut or form a rectangular opening nominally 4-5/8" (118 mm) high by 4-1/8" (105 mm) wide or core drill a 6" (152 mm)
diameter round opening.
