3M FB-249 Fire Barrier Pillow, Small, 2 in x 4 in x 9 in

The 3M FB-249 Fire Barrier Pillow is a small-size firestop pillow measuring 2 in x 4 in x 9 in, designed to seal openings and penetrations where cables, conduit, cable trays, and other building service lines pass through fire-rated walls and floors. Sized for tighter openings and smaller cable bundles, this compact pillow is easy to position by hand and does not require mixing, curing, or special tools to install. Each case ships with 24 pillows, giving contractors and facility teams a ready supply for firestopping projects in office buildings, data centers, and industrial facilities. Backed by the 3M name, the FB-249 pillow is built to support code-driven compartmentalization strategies in commercial and industrial construction.

3M FB-249 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size opening does the 3M FB-249 fire barrier pillow fit?
The FB-249 is the small pillow in 3M's Fire Barrier Pillow line, measuring 2 x 4 x 9 inches. That footprint suits tight openings, small cable clusters, and hard-to-reach penetrations where a larger pillow won't seat. For a wide sleeve or a full cable tray opening you'd be stacking a lot of these, so a larger pillow size is the better choice there.
2) Can firestop pillows be removed and put back when cables are added later?
Yes, and that is the main reason to choose pillows over a cured sealant. The FB-249 pillows are hand-placed and repositionable, so you can pull them, run the new cable or conduit through the opening, and pack them back in. In data centers and telecom rooms where cable counts change constantly, that beats cutting out and re-caulking a sealed penetration.
3) How many 3M FB-249 pillows come in a case?
Each case holds 24 pillows. For planning, that is the ordering unit, so a job with several small cable penetrations is usually one case rather than a count of loose pillows.
4) Do I need any mixing, caulk gun, or special tools to install 3M FB-249 fire barrier pillows?
No. The pillows go in by hand with no mixing, no cure time, and no special equipment. Nothing has to set up before the opening is considered packed, which is why crews use them for retrofit and renovation work in occupied buildings where you cannot wait on a sealant to cure.
5) Should I use firestop pillows or firestop sealant for a cable penetration?
Pick pillows when the penetration will change. The FB-249 pillows pack into openings around cables, conduit, and cable trays by hand and come back out when the cable count changes. A sealant or putty makes more sense on a penetration you expect to leave alone, since it has to be cut out and reapplied to modify. Blank or rarely touched openings are also candidates for a block or sealant instead.
6) What is the 3M part number for the small fire barrier pillow, and where is it made?
The manufacturer part number is FB-249, the 2 x 4 x 9 inch small pillow, and it is made in the United States. Distributors ordering to a spec should call it out as 3M FB-249 to separate it from the larger pillow sizes in the same family.
7) Where do contractors typically use the 3M FB-249 pillow?
Commercial and industrial construction, mainly at cable and conduit penetrations through fire-rated walls and floors: data centers, telecom rooms, multi-tenant and office buildings, and retrofit or renovation work where existing openings need to be packed. The small 2 x 4 x 9 inch format targets the smaller bundles and clusters in those spaces.
