The 4FFTC Series Poke-Thru Devices are UL Listed and Classified to U.S. and Canadian safety
standards to the following conditions:
The AV3STC poke-thru stem with the 4FFCTC service head fitting, the 4FFATC factory assembled poke-thru device are for use with
1, 1-1/2, and 2 hr rated unprotected reinforced concrete floors and 1, 1-1/2 or 2 hr rated floors employing unprotected steel floor
units and concrete topping (D900-Series Designs), or concrete floors with suspended ceilings. (Fire resistive designs with suspended
ceilings should have provisions for accessibility in the ceiling area below the poke-thru fittings).
The assembled poke-thru stem and service fitting will not reduce the ratings of the floor assembly when the thickness and type of
concrete(required for the specific rating) are within the specified limits and the fittings are installed as specified:
1. – Spacing – Minimum of 2' [610mm] OC and not more than one unit per 65 sq ft [6 sq. m] of floor area in each span.
2. – Concrete – Minimum thickness of structural concrete topping of 2 1/4 in. [57mm] over metal deck or a minimum
3 in. thick reinforced concrete slab. Unit weight of concrete to be 110 to 155 pcf.
3. – Installation – Mounted in a 4 in. diameter core-drilled hole in concrete per installation instructions accompanying the
fittings or abandonment fittings. For use with power circuits, date and/or telephone cables as tabulated below:
The “TC” suffix letters indicate that device may be installed on tile or carpet covered concrete floors. The “LJB” suffix letters
indicate units supplied without a junction box.
(A) Maximum number of No. 12 AWG Type THHN conductors in power compartment of Poke-Thru fitting.
(B) Maximum number of 22 AWG conductors in low-voltage compartment of Poke-Thru fitting (4 pair cables have
8 conductors). When conductors larger than No. 22 AWG are used, the aggregate cross-sectional area of
the copper conductors shall not exceed the aggregate cross-sectional area of the 22 AWG conductors
permitted in the low-voltage compartment.
FLOOR COVERINGS: The poke-thru device is fire rated for carpet or wood covered floors, tile floor coverings up to 3/4" [19.1 mm]
maximum thickness, and linoleum floor coverings up to a maximum 1/8" [3.2 mm] thickness. For other floor coverings not listed
above, consult factory.
