Is there any article anyone knows about in the NEC or any other code that limits conduit fill on data\comm (Network\phone) cabling in a 4" EMT sleeve that is approximately 12" long and is being used as a penetration in a fire or smoke rated wall?
Firestopping caulk and glass wool are being used to fill out any voids in the sleeves after the cabling is installed.
I am being told by a building engineer that the sleeves cannot be filled beyond 50%.
I am under the assumption that they can be filled to 100% because the fill ratio does not apply to communications cabling.
BTW this is in NYC and thanks in advance for any insight into this issue.
