Metacaulk® Cast-In-Place Device (CID)

Metacaulk® Cast-In-Place Devices (CIDs) offer a proactive and efficient method for firestopping through-penetrations in concrete floors. By installing these devices during the concrete pouring process, contractors can save significant time and labor costs associated with post-pour core drilling and firestopping

Key Features

• Integral Intumescent Firestop: Each CID unit contains a built-in intumescent material that reacts to heat by expanding and forming a fire-resistant char, effectively sealing the opening.
• Eliminates Concrete Drilling: By creating the penetration opening during the pour, the need for noisy, time-consuming, and potentially structurally compromising core drilling is eliminated.
• Reduces Labor Time: Installing the lightweight CIDs before the pour is typically faster and less labor-intensive than drilling and then installing firestop materials.
• UL Classified Systems: Tested and UL Classified for fire ratings up to 3 hours in accordance with ASTM E814 (UL 1479) and CAN/ULC-S115 standards. Specific ratings depend on the CID size and the penetrating item.
• Versatile Application: Approved for use with a multitude of penetrating items, including:
  • Combustible plastic pipes (PVC, CPVC, ABS)
  • Metal pipes (steel, copper)
  • Electrical cables and cable bundles
  • Communication cables
• Easy Installation: CIDs are installed using temporary wood or metal forms that are removed after the concrete has cured.
• Tub Box Kits Available: Metacaulk CID Tub Box kits provide a convenient all-in-one solution for specific pipe sizes, including the CID and a protective tub to prevent concrete ingress during the pour.
• Deck Adapter Kits Available: For use with concrete or corrugated steel deck assemblies, adapter kits ensure proper sealing and firestopping at the deck interface.
• Height Extension Kits Available: Allow for adjustment of the CID height to accommodate different slab thicknesses.
• Certified Clean Air GOLD: Indicates the product meets stringent indoor air quality standards.

Types of Metacaulk® Cast-In-Place Devices

• Standard CIDs: Available in various diameters (e.g., 2", 3", 4", 6") to accommodate different penetration sizes.
• CID Tub Box Kits: Pre-packaged kits containing a CID and a protective tub for specific pipe diameters.
• CID Deck Adapter Kits: Designed for use with concrete or corrugated steel deck assemblies.
• CID Height Extension Kits: Used to extend the height of the CID for thicker slabs.

Materials Used

• Outer Shell: Typically made of durable galvanized steel or other robust materials.
• Intumescent Material: A specially formulated material that expands upon exposure to heat.

Applications

• Multi-story concrete construction
• Commercial buildings
• Hospitals
• Schools
• Data centers
• Any application where through-floor penetrations in concrete are required for pipes and cables.
• Ideal for projects where pre-planning of penetrations is possible.
