Product details
Part 761455 is Hayden's fire barrier fitting for central vacuum runs, installed at any spot where built-in tubing crosses a rated wall, floor, or ceiling assembly. It is listed for the Hayden 0694 system.
Vacuum tubing gets buried the moment drywall goes up, which turns the rough-in stage into the last convenient chance to handle a fire-rated crossing correctly. Skip a barrier at one of those crossings, or use the wrong one, and the fix later means opening a finished wall, exactly the spot an inspector checks first at framing. That gap is also what the rest of the assembly depends on to hold its rating, so treating the crossing as optional is not a safe shortcut.
Follow the assembly instructions that came with your specific wall, floor, or ceiling configuration, and match the barrier to the fire code governing your construction type, since a rated assembly only performs as tested when every component goes in the way it was tested. Plan for a barrier at each fire-separated crossing the tubing run makes, not only the ones that are easy to spot.
Log where each barrier lands as the rough-in proceeds, since these crossings are hard to verify once insulation and drywall cover them. A photo taken before the wall closes gives an inspector, and any future service call, a clear reference for what sits behind that section.
