Fire Barrier Moldable Putty Pads MPP+ are typically used as a wall opening
protective to meet building requirements, for protection of membrane penetrations made by listed steel or non-metallic electrical boxes. It is also used to seal gaps
between cables in multiple penetrations (including fiber optic inner duct) and to firestop cable bundles, insulated pipe, electrical conduit and metal pipe. Larger
sized pads, 7 in. x 7 in. and 9.5 in x 9.5 in. (177.8mm x 177.8mm and 241.2mm x 241.2mm) are widely used to firestop metallic and non-metallic electrical outlet
boxes up to 14 in. x 4.5 in. by 2-1/2 in. (355.6mm x 114.3mm x 63.5mm) deep. For larger applications, pads can be molded together by hand.
