3M Fire Barrier Moldable Putty Pads MPP+

3MTM Fire Barrier Moldable Putty Pads MPP+ are a one-part, ready-to-use, intumescent wall-opening protective. When properly applied to the back of electrical outlet boxes, 3MTM Fire Barrier Moldable Putty Pads MPP+ are a one-part, ready-to-use, intumescent wall-opening protective Fire and Acoustic rated Putty Pads for residential and commercial construction. They are designed to maintain the performance of acoustically rated walls with penetrations such as electrical outlets, HVAC ducts, water hookups, and cables. Putty Pads provide an acoustical sealant noise barrier for wall penetrations in the form of a Moldable pad in order to maintain the highest STC ratings.
Available in 7″ x 7″ and 9.5″ x 9.5″ sizes.

Applications:

4 in. x 8 in. (101.6mm x 203mm) 3M™ 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 nonmetallic 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.
