NSi Industries Metacaulk Fire-Rated Putty Pad
The NSi Industries Metacaulk Fire-Rated Putty Pad is engineered to maintain the hourly fire rating of rated walls that contain electrical outlet boxes, while also reducing sound transmission between adjoining spaces. Sized 7" x 7" x 1/8", this single pad thickness is all that is required to achieve a 1 or 2-hour fire rating, so electricians do not need to add extra putty to plug the end of each electrical metallic tube (EMT) or conduit at its connection to the box. The pad also carries an STC rating of 60, tested in a UL 411 wall assembly/section to ASTM E90, making it a practical choice wherever fire-stopping and acoustic performance both matter. Applied by hand, the pad adheres to common interior building surfaces and installs quickly around outlet boxes during rough-in or retrofit work.
Key Features
- Pad Size: 7" x 7" x 1/8" thickness, sized to fully cover standard electrical outlet boxes in rated wall assemblies.
- Single-Layer Fire Rating: Only one pad thickness (1/8") is required to achieve a 1 or 2-hour fire rating, simplifying installation and inspection.
- Sound Attenuation: Delivers an STC rating of 60, tested in a UL 411 wall assembly/section to ASTM E90 for documented acoustic performance.
- No Additional Putty Required: Seals the end of each EMT or conduit at its connection to the box without the need for supplemental fire-stop material.
- Asbestos-Free Formula: Manufactured with no asbestos fillers, supporting safer handling on the job site.
