Only EZ-Path® helps you avoid citations and costs associated with non-compliance. Other sleeves require constant upkeep, ongoing maintenance, and inspection to ensure compliance.You can never be certain that other sleeves have been activated, plugs and putty have been replaced, or that they have been properly sealed to meet codes. And now that The Joint Commission mandates 60 DAY RFIs (Requirements for Improvement) for survey deficiencies - ongoing code compliance is more important than ever.An Evaluation Service Report (ESR) was issued on May 20, 2016 by UL® for EZ-Path® Fire-Rated Pathways confirming code compliance with the International Building Code® (IBC), International Fire Code® (IFC), and NFPA 101, "Life Safety Code®" (LSC). The report goes on to confirm that, when properly installed - EZ-Path® Pathways are exempt from ongoing maintenance.
