    Cable tray sealing and concealment

    Cable trays and busways at floor level or at slab penetrations shall have a waterstop no less than 50 mm in height. At slab penetrations, provide 20–30 mm of firestopping and install a fire-support plate at the top. Sealing shall be tight and reliable, without visible cracks or. maintain spacing or to keep cables in place when the tray is ect the minimum bend ra-dius for cables as they exit the bottom of the cable tray. A rung spacing of 6 to 9 inches (150 to 230 mm) is preferable when the cable tray cont d for instrumentation and control applications that require. The cable tray sealing system provides robust solutions for managing cable and pipe penetrations in fire-rated installations. FIRSTO fire stops are developed as a modular system which is simple to assemble around the cable run against the wall or on the floor.
