Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a modular devices for passing cables, pipes, and the like through a partition, such as a floor, and in particular, to a modular cast in place device for forming through-penetrations in molded partitions.
- the present modular device can be used with or without a firestop material.
- Through-penetrations in molded partitions such as poured concrete partitions, may be formed by various techniques including knocking holes in the partition after it has been formed, or using a mold or form that is arranged on a concrete form before the concrete is poured. Due to the variety of sizes and shapes needed for through-penetrations, contractors typically need to stock a large number of different forms. When the correct form is not available, workers often “make do” with a form of the wrong shape and/or size, causing the need for extensive rework after the concrete cures.
- through-penetrations provide one mechanism by which fire and smoke may spread from one compartment of the building to another.
- Intumescent firestop materials that expand and close an opening in the partition in the event of a fire are often required to minimize the migration of fire and smoke between compartments.
- the intumescent material is typically attached to the through-penetration after the concrete cures, increasing labor costs. If the intumescent material is not correctly installed and fails during a fire, the consequences can be catastrophic.
- Cast-in-place devices for providing a through-penetration in a partition, typically with an intumescent material to close the passageway and prevent the spread of fire and smoke in the event of a fire, are known in the patented art.
- the Harbeke U.S. Pat. No. 4,669,759 discloses a firestop stack coupling including intumescent material which expands to close off a pipe passing through the coupling in the event of a fire.
- the Harbeke U.S. Pat. No. 4,888,925 discloses a fire retardant fluid coupling assembly having a metallic band wrapped about an intumescent collar.
- the Roth U.S. Pat. No. 5,347,767 discloses a smoke and fire protection device for providing a heat sealable raceway for running wires and cables through a concrete wall, ceiling, or floor.
- the device includes a thermally expansive material which, in the event of a fire, expands causing the raceway to collapse, thus preventing fire and/or smoke from passing through the wall, ceiling, or floor.
- the raceway slidably fits within a tubular housing allowing the raceway to extend through the sleeve to either side of the device, thereby allowing an installer to couple additional sections of the raceway at a convenient location remote from the device.
- the sleeve has a length sized to accommodate the thickness of the particular mounting location. Since the sleeve is sized to accommodate a particular partition thickness, the user must pre-select the appropriate size sleeve for a particular job, thereby requiring installers to keep a large number of different size devices on hand.
- the Rejecki U.S. Pat. No. 5,390,465 discloses a pass through firestop device for installation in a building wall or floor to provide a pass through opening for pipes, tubing, and the like.
- the device includes an axially open first end and a tubular body having a second end closed by a transverse wall. A ring of intumescent material fills the axially open first end.
- the device is installed during the formation of the building partitions by attaching the device to form elements and then pouring the floor or wall structure. After the floor is poured, the upper end section of the tubular body is removed by cutting it flush with the upper surface of the floor.
- the Münzenberger et al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,161,873 discloses a masonry lead-in fixture having a housing including an axially extending through bore, a radially protruding attachment flange provided at least at one end of the housing, an intumescent material which, in case of fire, closes the bore, and a disc-shaped partition located in the housing which extends over the inner diameter of the bore which is broken when pipe, cable, or the like is pushed through the fixture.
- the fixture includes a lengthening pipe formed of a plastic material that is cut-off to a desired length.
- the present invention is directed to a modular device for providing a passage through a partition in a structure.
- the modular device includes a riser housing comprising a chamber fluidly coupling a base opening in a base portion with a distal opening at a distal end.
- a shaped cavity housing comprising a shaped cavity with a primary opening and a secondary opening is provided.
- a connector assembly releasably couples the distal opening at the distal end of the riser housing to the secondary opening on the shaped cavity housing.
- a firestop material is located in the chamber and/or the base portion.
- a flame retardant char forming material can optionally be arranged within the chamber adjacent to the firestop material.
- the term firestop material refers generally to intumescent, endothermic, and ablative materials useful in resisting the spread of fire and smoke from one compartment of a structure to another.
- the flame retardant char forming material is an annular band arranged concentrically within the firestop material. The flame retardant char forming material serves to strengthen the expanded intumescent material such that the resulting mass forms a fire barrier that can pass the hose stream portion of ASTM E 814 Fire Test Standard.
- the connector assembly includes a plurality of flexible engagement members located on the shaped cavity housing adjacent to the secondary opening.
- the engagement members are adapted to releasably engage with ribs on the riser housing.
- the connector assembly can be integrally molded as part of the shaped cavity housing. Alternatively, the connector assembly can be a separate component.
- the connector assembly preferably provides a snap-fit relationship between the riser housing and the shaped cavity housing.
- the connector assembly can be a variety of other structures, including bayonet connectors, threaded structures, mechanical fasteners, and the like.
- the modular device includes a cap that is attached to the shaped cavity housing to cover the primary opening.
- the cap includes cantilevers that snap onto the circumferential ribs, thereby securely attaching the cap to the shaped cavity housing.
- the cap is a breakable lid positioned substantially across the primary opening of the shaped cavity housing to prevent the molded material from filling the shaped cavity.
- a temporary insert can be located in the shaped cavity.
- the shaped cavity housing can include reinforcing portions adapted to be molded into the partition.
- the shaped cavity housing can also include mounting holes for attaching fixtures or structures external to the partition.
- the riser portion preferably includes a plurality of equally sized transverse bands each including a manually engagable pull tab to facilitate manual removal of the associated bands with or without the aid of a manually operated hand tool.
- a user can adjust the length of the device (i.e. shorten) in accordance with the thickness of the partition into which the device is installed. It will be recognized that providing more bands will increase the range of partition thicknesses that can be accommodated by the device, and increasing the number of bands per unit length will increase the ability of the device to more closely match the thickness of the partition.
- the pull tabs on each band may be provided with indicia indicating the length of the device at the band and corresponding to the thickness of the partition.
- Each band may also include one or more radially outwardly extending circumferential ribs that provide the bands and, consequently, the riser with added hoop strength, and also provide a projection for making snap connections with other components of the present modular device.
- frangible connections can be provided to facilitate removal of the transverse bands.
- the frangible connection can be formed in the riser housing by providing a line of weakness in the housing by, for example, scoring, notching, or creasing the housing, or by molding or machining the housing to have a thin region in the wall, thereby allowing a user to easily tear the housing along the line of weakness.
- the frangible connection defines a removable band that can be readily removed by a user, typically with the aid of a hand tool such as pliers, to shorten the length of the housing to accommodate the thickness of the partition into which the device is installed.
- the removable band preferably includes a pull tab that provides a grasping location for a user to remove the band from the housing along the frangible connection, thereby facilitating manual removal of the band.
- the modular device may also include an extension member adapted to connect with the riser portion to increase the length of the device and allow the device to be used with partitions having thicknesses greater than the standard length of the device.
- the outer diameter of the extension is preferably sized so that standard size plastic pipe can fit over and connect with the extension to provide additional extension for the device.
- the modular device preferably includes a retaining ring arranged within the base portion that serves to retain the firestop material in the base portion.
- the retaining ring may be coded with color or other indicia to indicate the quantity of firestop material provided in the device which, in turn, corresponds with the application of the modular device.
- An adapter may also be provided that connects with the base portion to allow the modular device to be coupled to a contoured surface such as a fluted or corrugated deck.

- the base portion 4 a preferably has a larger diameter than the riser portion 4 b giving the housing 4 a two-tiered tapered configuration in which the base portion 4 a has a greater cross-sectional area than the riser portion 4 b.
- Riser portion 4 b includes a plurality of circumferential bands 18 a , 18 b , 18 c , 18 d (referred to collectively as “ 18 ”) connected by frangible connections 20 a , 20 b , 20 c , 20 d (referred to collectively as “ 20 ”).
- the frangible connections 20 allow one or more bands 18 of the riser 4 b to be quickly, easily, accurately, and cleanly removed by a user, typically with the aid of a manually operated hand tool such as pliers, at pre-selected intervals so the modular device 2 can be used in partitions having a variety of thicknesses.

- a preferred firestop material 26 is INTERAM Ultra GS Graphite mat available from 3M Company, St. Paul, Minn.
- FIG. 6 illustrates the modular device 2 installed in a concrete floor 44 .
- the modular device 2 is installed by first securing the base portion 4 a to wooden concrete form 46 with fasteners 48 , and then pouring concrete into the form 46 , thereby embedding the device in the concrete.
- the cap 28 is then removed and any unnecessary bands 18 a - d are removed by grasping and pulling the pull tabs 22 a - d . It will also be recognized that if the thickness of the partition is known, excess bands can be removed prior to installation and pouring of the concrete.
- FIG. 7 illustrates the modular device 2 with fire stop material 26 is cast in place in a concrete floor 44 .
- a metal pipe 62 is shown passing through the modular device 2 .
- the modular device 2 in FIG. 7 is similar to the one shown in FIG. 6 except it further includes a flame retardant char forming insert 64 arranged between the intumescent firestop material 26 and the metal pipe 62 . It has been found that by providing a flame retardant char forming material between the intumescent material 26 and the pipe 62 , a fire barrier capable of passing the hose stream portion of the ASTM E814 test standard is created. Providing the char forming insert 64 is particularly useful when the modular device 2 is used as a firestop for a metal pipe passing through an opening in a floor.
- the insert 64 can be a continuous annular band that is secured within the modular device 2 using adhesive, mechanical fasteners, or the retaining ring 38 described above.

- the insert 64 is formed of a flame-retardant material (i.e. one that does not support combustion) that does not melt and which forms a char when exposed to high temperatures such as those encountered in a fire. In this manner, insert 64 works in combination with the expanded intumescent material 26 to provide a fire, smoke, and water barrier in the annular space around the metal pipe that enables the device to pass the hose stream portion of the ASTM E814 test standard.
- a flame-retardant material i.e. one that does not support combustion
- Suitable flame retardant materials that form a char include halogenated polymers such as polychloroprene, polyvinyl chloride and polyvinylidene fluoride; chlorine flame retardant compounds such as perchloropenta-cyclodecane and chlorinated paraffins; bromine flame retardant compounds such as decabromodiphenyl oxide, octabromodiphenyl oxide, and tetrabromodipentaerythritol; phosphorous compounds such as ammonium polyphosphate and tributylphosphate; compounds including both chlorine and phosphorous such as 1,3 dichloro-2-propanol phosphate and 2-chloroethanol phosphate; and nonhalogenated polymers such as hydrated zinc borate and boric oxide.
- a preferred flame retardant char forming material for the insert is polyvinyl chloride.

Description
- The present invention relates generally to a modular devices for passing cables, pipes, and the like through a partition, such as a floor, and in particular, to a modular cast in place device for forming through-penetrations in molded partitions. The present modular device can be used with or without a firestop material.
- During the construction of buildings, it is necessary to provide openings or passages through the building floors, walls, and ceilings to permit the running of wires, cables, pipes, and the like. Through-penetrations in molded partitions, such as poured concrete partitions, may be formed by various techniques including knocking holes in the partition after it has been formed, or using a mold or form that is arranged on a concrete form before the concrete is poured. Due to the variety of sizes and shapes needed for through-penetrations, contractors typically need to stock a large number of different forms. When the correct form is not available, workers often “make do” with a form of the wrong shape and/or size, causing the need for extensive rework after the concrete cures.
- Additionally, through-penetrations provide one mechanism by which fire and smoke may spread from one compartment of the building to another. Intumescent firestop materials that expand and close an opening in the partition in the event of a fire are often required to minimize the migration of fire and smoke between compartments. The intumescent material is typically attached to the through-penetration after the concrete cures, increasing labor costs. If the intumescent material is not correctly installed and fails during a fire, the consequences can be catastrophic.
- Cast-in-place devices for providing a through-penetration in a partition, typically with an intumescent material to close the passageway and prevent the spread of fire and smoke in the event of a fire, are known in the patented art. The Harbeke U.S. Pat. No. 4,669,759, for example, discloses a firestop stack coupling including intumescent material which expands to close off a pipe passing through the coupling in the event of a fire. The Harbeke U.S. Pat. No. 4,888,925 discloses a fire retardant fluid coupling assembly having a metallic band wrapped about an intumescent collar.
- The Roth U.S. Pat. No. 5,347,767 discloses a smoke and fire protection device for providing a heat sealable raceway for running wires and cables through a concrete wall, ceiling, or floor. The device includes a thermally expansive material which, in the event of a fire, expands causing the raceway to collapse, thus preventing fire and/or smoke from passing through the wall, ceiling, or floor. The raceway slidably fits within a tubular housing allowing the raceway to extend through the sleeve to either side of the device, thereby allowing an installer to couple additional sections of the raceway at a convenient location remote from the device. The sleeve has a length sized to accommodate the thickness of the particular mounting location. Since the sleeve is sized to accommodate a particular partition thickness, the user must pre-select the appropriate size sleeve for a particular job, thereby requiring installers to keep a large number of different size devices on hand.
- The Rejecki U.S. Pat. No. 5,390,465 discloses a pass through firestop device for installation in a building wall or floor to provide a pass through opening for pipes, tubing, and the like. The device includes an axially open first end and a tubular body having a second end closed by a transverse wall. A ring of intumescent material fills the axially open first end. The device is installed during the formation of the building partitions by attaching the device to form elements and then pouring the floor or wall structure. After the floor is poured, the upper end section of the tubular body is removed by cutting it flush with the upper surface of the floor.
- The Münzenberger et al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,161,873 discloses a masonry lead-in fixture having a housing including an axially extending through bore, a radially protruding attachment flange provided at least at one end of the housing, an intumescent material which, in case of fire, closes the bore, and a disc-shaped partition located in the housing which extends over the inner diameter of the bore which is broken when pipe, cable, or the like is pushed through the fixture. The fixture includes a lengthening pipe formed of a plastic material that is cut-off to a desired length.
- The present invention is directed to a modular device for providing a passage through a partition in a structure. The modular device includes a riser housing comprising a chamber fluidly coupling a base opening in a base portion with a distal opening at a distal end. A shaped cavity housing comprising a shaped cavity with a primary opening and a secondary opening is provided. A connector assembly releasably couples the distal opening at the distal end of the riser housing to the secondary opening on the shaped cavity housing.
- In one embodiment, a firestop material is located in the chamber and/or the base portion. A flame retardant char forming material can optionally be arranged within the chamber adjacent to the firestop material. The term firestop material refers generally to intumescent, endothermic, and ablative materials useful in resisting the spread of fire and smoke from one compartment of a structure to another. In one embodiment, the flame retardant char forming material is an annular band arranged concentrically within the firestop material. The flame retardant char forming material serves to strengthen the expanded intumescent material such that the resulting mass forms a fire barrier that can pass the hose stream portion of ASTM E 814 Fire Test Standard.
- In one embodiment, the connector assembly includes a plurality of flexible engagement members located on the shaped cavity housing adjacent to the secondary opening. The engagement members are adapted to releasably engage with ribs on the riser housing. The connector assembly can be integrally molded as part of the shaped cavity housing. Alternatively, the connector assembly can be a separate component. The connector assembly preferably provides a snap-fit relationship between the riser housing and the shaped cavity housing. The connector assembly can be a variety of other structures, including bayonet connectors, threaded structures, mechanical fasteners, and the like.
- The modular device includes a cap that is attached to the shaped cavity housing to cover the primary opening. In one embodiment, the cap includes cantilevers that snap onto the circumferential ribs, thereby securely attaching the cap to the shaped cavity housing. In one embodiment, the cap is a breakable lid positioned substantially across the primary opening of the shaped cavity housing to prevent the molded material from filling the shaped cavity. Alternatively, a temporary insert can be located in the shaped cavity.
- The shaped cavity housing can include reinforcing portions adapted to be molded into the partition. The shaped cavity housing can also include mounting holes for attaching fixtures or structures external to the partition.
- The riser portion preferably includes a plurality of equally sized transverse bands each including a manually engagable pull tab to facilitate manual removal of the associated bands with or without the aid of a manually operated hand tool. By removing successive bands, a user can adjust the length of the device (i.e. shorten) in accordance with the thickness of the partition into which the device is installed. It will be recognized that providing more bands will increase the range of partition thicknesses that can be accommodated by the device, and increasing the number of bands per unit length will increase the ability of the device to more closely match the thickness of the partition. In addition, the pull tabs on each band may be provided with indicia indicating the length of the device at the band and corresponding to the thickness of the partition. Each band may also include one or more radially outwardly extending circumferential ribs that provide the bands and, consequently, the riser with added hoop strength, and also provide a projection for making snap connections with other components of the present modular device.
- Frangible connections can be provided to facilitate removal of the transverse bands. The frangible connection can be formed in the riser housing by providing a line of weakness in the housing by, for example, scoring, notching, or creasing the housing, or by molding or machining the housing to have a thin region in the wall, thereby allowing a user to easily tear the housing along the line of weakness. The frangible connection defines a removable band that can be readily removed by a user, typically with the aid of a hand tool such as pliers, to shorten the length of the housing to accommodate the thickness of the partition into which the device is installed. The removable band preferably includes a pull tab that provides a grasping location for a user to remove the band from the housing along the frangible connection, thereby facilitating manual removal of the band.
- The modular device may also include an extension member adapted to connect with the riser portion to increase the length of the device and allow the device to be used with partitions having thicknesses greater than the standard length of the device. The outer diameter of the extension is preferably sized so that standard size plastic pipe can fit over and connect with the extension to provide additional extension for the device.
- The modular device preferably includes a retaining ring arranged within the base portion that serves to retain the firestop material in the base portion. The retaining ring may be coded with color or other indicia to indicate the quantity of firestop material provided in the device which, in turn, corresponds with the application of the modular device. An adapter may also be provided that connects with the base portion to allow the modular device to be coupled to a contoured surface such as a fluted or corrugated deck.

- FIGS.1-6 show a
modular device 2 for providing a through-penetration in a floor, wall, ceiling, or the like. The term through-penetration or passage generally refers to an opening in a floor, wall, ceiling, or the like that is separate and distinct from the cables, wires, pipes, or other items that pass through it from one compartment of a structure to another. For example, plumbing refers to a system of pipes and fixtures concerned with the introduction, distribution and disposal of water in a building. The present through-penetration or passage provides an opening for plumbing to pass through a partition, but does not perform any of the plumbing functions. - The present
modular device 2 is particularly suited for forming a through-penetration or passage through a molded partition. As used herein, molded partition refers to a partition formed from a flowable material, such as for example concrete or structural foam, that sets or cures to create a more rigid structure. Themodular device 2 is located in a mold or form having the desired shape and the flowable material is delivered. Once the flowable material is set or cured, the mold or form is removed. In this embodiment, the moldeddevice 2 is cast in place. For example, themodular device 2 is secured to a wooden concrete form 46 (FIG. 6) or other surface, such as a fluted deck using an adapter 40 (FIG. 5), and concrete is poured into the form, thereby embedding themodular device 2 in the concrete forming the moldedpartition 44. - The
modular device 2 includes a generally cylindricalhollow housing 4 having abase opening 6, adistal opening 8, and achamber 10 extending longitudinally from thefirst end 6 to thedistal opening 8. An intumescent firestop material 26 (FIGS. 3b, 6 and 7) can optionally be arranged in themodular device 2, typically adjacent thebase opening 8. It will be recognized that thehousing 4 may have any shape. For example, the shape of thehousing 4 can change along its length. In some embodiments, thehousing 4 has a regular cross section along its length, such as a circle, an oval, a square, a rectangle, or any other polygonal. - In one embodiment,
base portion 4 a is attached to thehousing 4. Thebase portion 4 a can be integrally molded to thehousing 4 or can be a separate component to the present modular device. Thebase portion 4 a includes a longitudinally extendingannular side wall 14 extending from the openfirst end 6 toward the opensecond end 8, radially outwardly extendingflange portions 15 extending outwardly in opposite directions from thebase portion 4 a adjacent the opensecond end 8, a radially inwardly extendingshoulder portion 17 extending inwardly from thesidewall 14, and ariser portion 4 b having a longitudinally extendingannular side wall 16 extending from theshoulder portion 17 to thedistal opening 8. Thebase portion 4 a preferably has a larger diameter than theriser portion 4 b giving thehousing 4 a two-tiered tapered configuration in which thebase portion 4 a has a greater cross-sectional area than theriser portion 4 b. -
Riser portion 4 b includes a plurality ofcircumferential bands frangible connections more bands 18 of theriser 4 b to be quickly, easily, accurately, and cleanly removed by a user, typically with the aid of a manually operated hand tool such as pliers, at pre-selected intervals so themodular device 2 can be used in partitions having a variety of thicknesses. - Each frangible connection20 is preferably located adjacent to one of the
circumferential bands 18. After one of the frangible connections 20 is removed, acircumferential band 18 is preferably located neardistal end 8 a of theriser portion 4 b to facilitate attachment to other components of the present modular device, as will be discussed in detail below. - Each
circumferential band 18 preferably forms a continuous 360 degree loop which forms a section of theriser portion 4 b that can be readily removed by a user to shorten theriser portion 4 b and thereby match the thickness of the partition into which the device is installed. Eachband 18 includes a pair ofcircumferential ribs 18 a′ (FIG. 4) that provide hoop strength and provide a structure for attaching other components of themodular device 2. The frangible connections 20 are lines of weakness formed by, for example, molding or machining the riser to have thin areas of material connectingadjacent bands 18 that can be manually broken by a user to separate adjacent bands. - Each
band 18 includes apull tab bands 18. The pull tabs 22 facilitate removal of the associated frangible connection 20 by providing the user a location to grasp and pull, typically with the aid of a hand tool such as pliers, thereby tearing the associated frangible connection 20 to remove thecircumferential band 18 from theriser 4 b. Each pull tab 22 a-d may be marked with indicia indicating the length or height of the device at that pull tab. - In one embodiment, the
base portion 4 a contains anannular recess 24 for receiving an optional firestop material 26 (FIGS. 3b, 5, 6 and 7). Thefirestop material 26 is provided in the form of an annular ring as shown in FIG. 5 that extends along the inner surface of thesidewall portion 14 from thebase opening 8 to theshoulder portion 17. Thefirestop material 26 may be held in place in therecess 24 with adhesive, using mechanical fasteners, or by using a retaining ring 38 (FIG. 5) described more fully below. To facilitate the installation of a pipe through thedevice 2, the inner surface of thefirestop material 26 if preferably aligned with the inner surface of theriser portion 4 b, that is, the inner diameter of thefirestop material 26 and theriser 4 b are the same, whereby the diameter of thechamber 10 is generally the same along the entire length of thedevice 2. In some embodiments, manufacturing can be facilitated if the inner diameter of thefirestop material 26 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of theriser 4 b. - The
recess 24 is defined by thesidewall portion 14 and theshoulder portion 17 of thebase portion 4 a. In accordance with another characterizing feature of the invention, the inner surfaces of thesidewall portion 14 and theshoulder portion 17 facing thechamber 10 includerib portions sidewall ribs 14 a extend radially inwardly from thesidewall 14 and extend longitudinally from adjacent theflange 15 to theshoulder portion 17. Theshoulder portion rib 17 a is an annular projection extending outwardly from theshoulder portion 17 in the direction of thefirst opening 6. The sidewall portion ribs 14 a maintain thefirestop material 26 in spaced relation from thesidewall portion 14 and create anair gap 27 between thefirestop material 26 and theside wall portion 14 which, in the event of a fire, allows the entire axial length of the firestop material to be exposed to heated air, thereby aiding rapid, complete, and uniform expansion of the firestop material which in turn closes the through-penetration. - Referring now to FIG. 5, the
modular device 2 is provided with acap 28 that attaches to theriser portion 4 b and covers thedistal opening 8. Thecap 28 prevents concrete being poured during the formation of a partition from entering thedevice 2. Thecap 28 includessnap connectors 30 that allow the cap to be manually snap fit onto theriser portion 4 b at any of the via any of thecircumferential bands 18. - The
modular device 2 may also be provided with anextension member 32 that attaches to the top of theriser portion 4 b adjacent the opensecond end 8. Theextension member 32 contains cut-outs 34 aligned with tabs 22 on theriser portion 4 b that allow theextension member 32 to be placed in overlapping relation with theriser portion 4 b.Snap connections 36 are provided that allow theextension member 32 to be attachedcircumferential bands 18 on theriser portion 4 b. - The
extension member 32 serves to increase the height of themodular device 2 for use in partitions in which the thickness of the partition is greater than the standard height of themodular device 2. Theextension member 32 is also preferably sized so that standard size plastic pipe can fit over the top of theextension member 32 to provide further extension. The outer diameter of theextension member 32 corresponds to the inner diameter of a standard size plastic pipe, such that the plastic pipe is adapted to fit over theextension member 32. In this embodiment, the extension member comprises an adapter for attaching other components to the presentmodular device 2. - The device includes an
annular gasket 37 arranged in therecess 24 between thefirestop material 26 and theshoulder portion 17. Thegasket 37 is formed of an elastomeric material and serves to form a smoke and water seal at ambient conditions with the pipe installed prior to expansion of the firestop material. Themodular device 2 is also provided with anannular retaining ring 38 that attaches to thebase portion 4 a of the device and retains thefirestop material 26. The retainingring 38 includestabs 39 to facilitate attachment of the retainingring 38 to thebase portion 4 a. Thetabs 39 are aligned with and extend throughslots 41 provided in thebase portion 4 a. Once the retainingring 38 is installed in themodular device 2, thetabs 39 are bent outwardly to secure the retainingring 38 in place and also anchor themodular device 2 in the partition. In embodiments where themodular device 2 is inserted into a molded partition, thetabs 39 are securely anchored in the concrete, for example. - Since the quantity of
firestop material 26 provided in themodular device 2 will vary depending on the type of installation (for example, more firestop material will be provided in the device when it is used with a plastic pipe than a metal pipe), the retainingring 38 may be provided with color coding to indicate the quantity of firestop material installed in the device and/or the type of pipe in the installation. This way, after themodular device 2 has been installed in a partition, the quantity of firestop material and the type of installation (i.e. a plastic pipe or a metal pipe installation) can be quickly and easily identified by visual inspection, eliminating the need to remove the retaining ring to make such a determination. - In addition, the
modular device 2 may be provided with anadapter 40 that attaches to thebase portion flange 15 and allows themodular device 2 to be used on contoured surfaces such as a fluted deck. Theadapter 40 includes a hollowtubular extension portion 40 a, an outwardly extendingflange portion 40 b, and snapconnectors 42 that snap connect with thebase portion 4 a of themodular device 2. - The present
modular device 2 is preferably formed of a synthetic plastic material such as polyethylene. Thefirestop material 26 may include an intumescent compound, an endothermic compound, or both an intumescent compound and an endothermic compound. Exemplary intumescent compounds include intumescent graphite such as intercalated graphite and acid treated graphite, hydrated alkali metal silicates, vermiculite, perlite, and NaBSi. Exemplary endothermic compounds include aluminum trihydrate (ATH), Al(OH)3 hydrated zinc borate (ZnB2O4.6H2O), calcium sulfate (CaSO4.2H2O) also known as gypsum, magnesium ammonium phosphate (MgNH4PO4.6H2O), magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), encapsulated H2O, and magnesium ammonium phosphate hexahydrate, MgO.2B2O3.9H2O. Apreferred firestop material 26 is INTERAM Ultra GS Graphite mat available from 3M Company, St. Paul, Minn. - FIG. 6 illustrates the
modular device 2 installed in aconcrete floor 44. Themodular device 2 is installed by first securing thebase portion 4 a to woodenconcrete form 46 withfasteners 48, and then pouring concrete into theform 46, thereby embedding the device in the concrete. Thecap 28 is then removed and anyunnecessary bands 18 a-d are removed by grasping and pulling the pull tabs 22 a-d. It will also be recognized that if the thickness of the partition is known, excess bands can be removed prior to installation and pouring of the concrete. - FIG. 7 illustrates the
modular device 2 withfire stop material 26 is cast in place in aconcrete floor 44. Ametal pipe 62 is shown passing through themodular device 2. Themodular device 2 in FIG. 7 is similar to the one shown in FIG. 6 except it further includes a flame retardantchar forming insert 64 arranged between theintumescent firestop material 26 and themetal pipe 62. It has been found that by providing a flame retardant char forming material between theintumescent material 26 and thepipe 62, a fire barrier capable of passing the hose stream portion of the ASTM E814 test standard is created. Providing thechar forming insert 64 is particularly useful when themodular device 2 is used as a firestop for a metal pipe passing through an opening in a floor. - The
insert 64 can be a continuous annular band that is secured within themodular device 2 using adhesive, mechanical fasteners, or the retainingring 38 described above. Alternatively, theinsert 64 can be a discontinuous arcuate band that can be compressed like a spring clip so that the insert can be positioned within theintumescent material 26 and held in place by the spring force. - The
insert 64 is formed of a flame-retardant material (i.e. one that does not support combustion) that does not melt and which forms a char when exposed to high temperatures such as those encountered in a fire. In this manner, insert 64 works in combination with the expandedintumescent material 26 to provide a fire, smoke, and water barrier in the annular space around the metal pipe that enables the device to pass the hose stream portion of the ASTM E814 test standard. - The particular material selected for the
insert 64 is not critical to the invention hereof, so long as it provides the desired function. Suitable flame retardant materials that form a char include halogenated polymers such as polychloroprene, polyvinyl chloride and polyvinylidene fluoride; chlorine flame retardant compounds such as perchloropenta-cyclodecane and chlorinated paraffins; bromine flame retardant compounds such as decabromodiphenyl oxide, octabromodiphenyl oxide, and tetrabromodipentaerythritol; phosphorous compounds such as ammonium polyphosphate and tributylphosphate; compounds including both chlorine and phosphorous such as 1,3 dichloro-2-propanol phosphate and 2-chloroethanol phosphate; and nonhalogenated polymers such as hydrated zinc borate and boric oxide. A preferred flame retardant char forming material for the insert is polyvinyl chloride. - FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate an alternate
modular device 100 in accordance with the present invention.Distal end 8 a ofriser housing 4 b is shown releasably attached to a shapedcavity housing 102. The shapedcavity housing 102 of FIG. 8 includes a series ofsidewalls 124 and awall 126 opposite theprimary opening 120. Thewall 126 includes thesecondary opening 104 that is aligned with the distal opening 8 (see FIG. 3a) on theriser housing 4 b.Chamber 10 of theriser housing 4 b (see FIG. 3a) is in fluid communication with shapedcavity 106 of the shapedcavity housing 102 and thebase opening 6 in thebase member 4 a. In some embodiments,base member 4 a may optionally include anintumescent material 128. - The shaped
cavity housing 102 includes aprimary opening 120 that provides access to the shapedcavity 106. The shapedcavity housing 102, however, can be any size or shape, depending on the application. It is not necessary for theprimary opening 120 to extend the full length of the horizontal cross section of the shapedcavity housing 102. In some embodiments, theprimary opening 120 may be smaller than the horizontal cross section of the shapedcavity 106. - A
temporary insert 122 may optionally be located in the shapedcavity 106 in lieu of thecap 28 illustrated in FIG. 5. Alternatively, a covering can be provided that extends across theprimary opening 120 to prevent concrete or other moldable material from entering into the shapedcavity 106 during the formation of the molded partition. - The size and shape of the shaped
cavity 106 is designed to accommodate plumbing required to connect the drain and overflow of a bathtub. Bathtubs require two connections: a drain under the tub and an overflow at one end of the tub. The piping for these two locations must come together for a common connection at the end of the tub and at floor level for passing through the partition. The drain location under a bathtub must have a cavity in the concrete floor in order to allow room for the installer to reach in and make the necessary piping connections. Bathtub installation typically requires a tub box about 8 inches by 10 inches by 2 inches deep and slightly off to one side molded in the concrete floor. Themodular device 100 of FIGS. 8 and 9 permits the generally cylindricalhollow housing 4 of FIG. 1 to be used in combination with a variety of shaped cavities, such as the tub box illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9. - As best illustrated in FIG. 9,
lower surface 108 of the shapedcavity housing 102 includes aconnector assembly 110 for releasably coupling withdistal end 8 a of theriser housing 4 b. In the illustrated embodiment, thelower surface 108 includes a plurality ofsnap connections 112 that engage with one of thecircumferential bands 18 on theriser housing 4 b. Any releasable connection between theriser housing 4 b and thelower surface 108 of the shapedcavity housing 102 can be used, such as for example bayonet connectors, threaded members, mechanical fasteners, and the like. - Depending on the size and shape of the shaped
cavity housing 102,additional support members 114 may optionally be used. In the illustrated embodiment, thesupport members 114 are configured to engage withrecess 116 on the shapedcavity housing 102. Thesupport members 114 preferably includecutouts 118 that facilitate shortening to accommodate riser housings of different heights. Alternatively, thesupport members 114 can include frangible connections 20 such as are used on theriser housing 4 b. - FIGS. 10, 11 and12 illustrate an alternate
modular device 140 in accordance with the present invention. Commercially available shower drains have flanges that may protrude below the floor level after installation. A cavity in the concrete floor is required to provide the space for this flange.Shaped cavity housing 142 is designed to receive commercially available shower drains. - As best illustrated in FIG. 11, the shaped
cavity housing 142 includesengagement members 144 that form a snap fit relationship with thecircumferential bands 18 on theriser housing 4 b. Theengagement members 144 are preferably constructed as a portion ofsupport ribs 146 located onlower surface 148 of the shapedcavity housing 142. -
Chamber 10 in theriser member 4 b is in fluid communication with thesecondary opening 152 to shapedcavity 156 and thebase opening 6 on thebase member 4 a. Thebase opening 6 and thedistal opening 8 on theriser housing 4 b are preferably arranged generally alonglongitudinal axis 158. Anintumescent material 160 can optionally be located in thechamber 10, and in particular, in thebase member 4 a. Atemporary insert 154 may optionally be located in the shapedcavity 156 in lieu of thecap 28 illustrated in FIG. 5. Alternatively, a covering over theprimary opening 150 can be used. - FIGS. 13, 14 and15 illustrate an alternate
modular device 170 in accordance with the present invention.Shaped cavity housing 172 is releasably attached to theriser housing 4 b byengagement numbers 174 in a snap fit relationship withcircumferential bands 18.Breakable cap 176 extends acrossprimary opening 178 of the shapedcavity housing 172. As best illustrated in FIG. 14, shapedcavity 180 located below thebreakable cap 178 is in fluid communication withchamber 10 of theriser housing 4 b and thebase opening 6 in thebase member 4 a. Anintumescent material 190 can be optionally located in thechamber 10, and in particular, in thebase member 4 a. - The shaped
cavity housing 172 includes a reinforcingportion 182 that increases the overall structural integrity of the component, but also is preferably imbedded in the molded partition 44 (see FIG. 14). For example, FIG. 14 illustrates themodular device 170 cast in place in a concrete floor. The reinforcingportion 182 acts to secure the shapedcavity housing 172 within the molded material (e.g., concrete) of the moldedpartition 44. - The shaped
cavity housing 172 also includes a plurality of mountingholes 184 adapted to secure fixtures and other devices to themodular device 170. For example, commercially available water closets can be bolted to the mountingholes 184 of the shapedcavity housing 172. Securing the water closet directly to the shapedcavity housing 172 has the added benefit of centering the water closet over the passage formed by themodular device 170. Themodular device 170 provides the conduit through which the plumbing for the water closet passes, but is not intended to replace the plumbing. - In one embodiment, threaded inserts188 can be located in the mounting holes 184. The threaded inserts can be constructed of a variety of materials, such as steel, brass, copper, high-density polymeric materials and the like. Although the typical water closet only requires two mounting holes, the present shaped
cavity housing 172 includes eight mountingholes 184. This feature permits the water closet to be rotated to a variety of positions, permitting a more flexible installation options. - All of the patents and patent applications disclosed herein, including those set forth in the Background of the Invention, are hereby incorporated by reference. Although specific embodiments of this invention have been shown and described herein, it is to be understood that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the many possible specific arrangements that can be devised in application of the principles of the invention.
