This is a Request for Information (RFI No. 001) dated 12.11.24 regarding a Medication Dispensing Unit Installation project, specifically addressing fire stopping methods. The RFI was submitted by James Netz of DSH-Atascadero to Duncan Hixon of JC Chang & Associates, Inc. The inquiry requests immediate response (ASAP) regarding the possibility of using Hilti Firestop Speed Sleeves or equivalent products as the preferred fire-stopping method in concealed, non-public, and patient areas where ligature issues can be appropriately mitigated.

The accompanying product information sheet details the Hilti Speed Sleeve CP 653, which is a cable pass-through device designed for fire protection in rated wall and floor assemblies. The product features include quick installation, ability to be opened and closed for new/existing cable installations, unique smoke fabric for air flow control, and low air leakage ratings. The device is UL listed, FM approved, and can be used in concrete floors (rated up to 3 hours) and gypsum walls (rated up to 4 hours). The response to the RFI indicates approval for using Hilti Fire Stop Speed Sleeves where applicable, with the stipulation that installation shall not be used in areas where it presents a ligature risk.
