Specified Technologies EZ-PATH MAX EZD44 Installation Sheet

GENERAL – READ COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING
EZPATH ® MAX 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 multi-
gang wall brackets, floor plates, or multi-gang floor brackets must be ordered separately and are covered under separate installation sheets.

CREATING THE OPENING

This device may be installed through either rectangular or round openings.
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 pathway 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) diame-
ter opening in both sides of the wall.
Concrete or Masonry Walls (Round or Rectangular Openings)
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.

ASSEMBLING A PATHWAY GROUP

A double hook and eye attachment is provided to secure pathways into a single group. Optional accessories including EZP544W Multi-Gang Wall
Brackets may be used to support a pathway group (sold separately).
1. Align devices on a solid, flat surface and insert hook into eye window. Press down firmly to connect devices. (See Fig. 3)
2. Connect one to five devices together dependent upon project requirements.
3. Insert ganged devices through wall opening (with the stamping) and center within the wall assembly.
COVERING HOOK & EYE WINDOW ATTACHMENT OPENINGS
NOTE: UL Classified Systems require unused attachment hook and eye windows to be covered to attain published
air/smoke leakage ratings. Orange stickers are provided for sealing these openings on the right and left side of
single installed pathways and on the end units of pathway groups. (See Fig. 4)
When casting or grouting pathway, in accordance with appropriate UL design, cover hook & eye window attachment
openings and exercise care not to restrict the travel of retainer plates.

INSTALLING THE PATHWAY USING WALL PLATES

Pathway is installed through wall and attached using wall plates to sandwich the wall. No mechanical attachment to the wall
itself is required; however, predrilled holes are provided for optional attachment if desired.
1. 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. Use gauge marks
located on lid of pathway to adjust plate to thickness of wall (See Fig. 5). This will center the pathway within the
wall. When properly adjusted, tighten set screws to lock plate onto pathway.
