Prior to Install3.0 Site/Floor InspectionItems Required: Paper, pen, camera3.1 A site inspection is required prior to the

installation of the 3M™ One Pass Fiber Pathway to ensure craftsmen have appropriate tools and materials onsite once installation begins.

3.2 Items to note include:

a. The number of living units per floor

b. The location of fiber distribution terminals (FDTs) within the building (i.e. on that floor, above or below installation closet, or open or closed stairwell)

c. The width of the hallways on each floor (Min. ~3 feet (91.4 cm))

d. The height of the reference surface on each floor (Max. 12 feet (3.7 m)) when using the 3M™ One Pass Application Tool

e. Ratio of height to width should be ≤ 3:1 (ex: 8-foot (2.4 m) ref. surface with 3-foot wide hallway is acceptable)

f. Reference surface type and construction. The installation tool uses a ceiling, crown molding, or the like with a solid, stable, ¼" (6 mm) minimum width to apply the duct while referencing that surface.

g. The distance around the perimeter of the hallways on each floor

h. The distance from the proposed fiber distribution unit that will be serving that floor

i. The number and type of corners found in the hallways and stairwells along the installation path of the 3M™ One Pass Fiber Pathway

j. Number of disruptions in the reference surface used to guide the installation tool

k. Disruptions in the wall surface itself

l. Open or closed stairwell or riser closet

m. Duct direction is relative to the way it will be installed in hallway once it enters the hallway (i.e. left or right)

n. Obstacles such as pipes, vents, electrical cords that must be avoided

o. Confirm wall surfaces have been tested for adhesive compatibility. If they have not been tested, install test plugs/bars (60-SM-T-KIT) where duct will be placed at inconspicuous locations in the hallway. If test plugs/bars remain adhered to the wall after 24 hours, the surface is suitable.

6.0 Determine Duct Offset• Duct can be placed from ¼" (6 mm) to 3½" (89 mm)

below the reference surface.

• Evaluate the installation surface and determine the correct offset distance.

• Offset distance may be determined based on various obstacles, wall surface conditions, interior living unit ceiling height, reach, etc.

• Choose an offset that will ease installation difficulty while maintaining aesthetics.

• Duct offset distances are set at ¼" (6 mm), ½" (13 mm), 1½" (38 mm), 2½" (64 mm) & 3½" (89 mm).

• The minimum recommended duct offset from the reference surface is 1/4" (6 mm).

• Grooves located on the side of the 3M™ One Pass Free Hand Tool act as guides for corner support placement for the 1/4" offset.

Note: Grooves in the free hand tool locate the bottom of the duct and corner accessories.

• When marking wall surfaces for accessory installation, the free hand tool, tape measure, or other template may be used.

7.0 3M™ One Pass Interior Corner Support Installation

7.1 Identify corner location based on duct offset from reference surface.

7.2 Mark the location for the bottom of the interior corner support using the free hand tool or equivalent. Measured distance is the preferred offset + ½" (13 mm) e.g., 1/4" offset + 1/2" = mark at 3/4".

7.3 Pinch ends of interior corner support together.

7.4 Align bottom edge of the 3M™ One Pass Interior Corner support with the marks made on the wall.

7.5 Place spine of the interior corner support snug into the interior corner, aligning the bottom edge with the marks made on the wall.

10.0 Free Form Corner Preparation Items Required: Measuring device, pen, ScotchBlue™ Painter's Tape 2090Definition: Corners where included angle is greater than 90 and less than 180 degrees and which are placed in a planar direction without support pieces.The minimum radius for a free form corner is 2-feet (61 cm). If the radius is tighter than 2 feet (61 cm), then anchoring in and out of the corner is required.

10.1 To determine the start and end location of a free form corner, measure 6" (152 mm) on either side from the center of the corner.

10.2 From the 6" (152 mm) marks, measure the offset distance.

10.3 Align a length of ScotchBlue Painter's Tape 2090 with the marks on either side of the corner.

Note: A mechanical anchor is required at the beginning and end of the free form corners if the length of the duct, including the free form corner, is greater than 10 feet (3 m) between locations where the duct is mechanically fastened.

978-8140-6222-6-E March 2017

11.0 Bridge InstallationItems Required: 3M™ One Pass Bridge, Anchor Plate Kit, Bridge-100-4, level, pen

Bridges are used to span disruptions in wall surfaces such as columns, air conditioning vents, emergency lighting and door frame moldings. They could also be used to provide additional anchoring for duct in locations where the wall surface is poor (i.e. water damage).

Bridging an obstacle:11.1 Measure the approximate height of the disruption

from the wall surface.

11.2 Multiply the height by six, this is the minimum length of the bridge to be cut.

11.3 Pull approximate amount of bridge material required from supply box.

11.4 If calculated length falls between two holes in the bridge material, add the additional length to the section to leave a pre-punched hole at each end of the bridge piece.

11.5 Cut bridge section, leaving a pre-punched hole at each end. Each bridge must be supported by at least two anchor screws. (One screw recommended on each side for fastening security)

11.6 Measure and mark the surface at the chosen offset from the reference surface.

11.7 Align bottom edge of bridge with mark.

11.8 Center bridge material over obstruction.

11.9 Form bridge by hand, maintaining a gradual slope on both sides of the obstruction.

11.10 Mark first anchor hole location by using pre-punched hole in one end of bridge as template. Be sure to maintain form of bridge section while marking hole for accuracy.

10 78-8140-6222-6-EMarch 2017

11.11 Remove bridge material section and drill hole.

11.12 Insert anchor into hole until it is flush with wall surface.

11.13 Place #4 counter sink screw through hole and screw into anchor until flush with bridge material.

11.14 Rotate bridge section into place, and mark the hole(s) to be drilled.

11.15 Swing bridge plate down and let hang by first mounting screw while the remaining hole(s) are drilled.

11.16 Insert anchors and attach bridge to wall permanently with supplied screws.

11.17 The plastic liner on the metal bridge should be kept in place until shortly before the fiber pathway is applied, and the surface of the bridge must be kept free of contamination.

Note: For spanning flat sections of wall, skip the “forming” step in these instructions.

12.0 Fiber Distribution Terminal (FDT) Installation

Note: 3M™ One Pass Fiber Pathway Duct must be installed along the wall surface with the flange oriented DOWN.

12.1 A left hand-oriented duct has the fanout on the right end, and travels in a left-hand direction down the wall.

12.2 A right hand-oriented duct has the fanout on the left end, and travels in a right-hand direction down the wall.

12.3 Using a level, place a strip of ScotchBlue™ Painter's Tape 2090 on wall along the edge of where the duct is to be placed upon exit.

12.4 Approximate the distance from the wall to the duct exit of the box.

1178-8140-6222-6-E March 2017

12.5 Multiply this distance by three. Measure away from the edge of the box the calculated distance and place a mark on the ScotchBlue Painter's Tape 2090.

12.6 Drill an anchor hole 1/4" (6 mm) from the edge of the ScotchBlue Painter's Tape 2090 (in the installation path of the duct) and insert anchor.

12.7 Form the bridge to pass through center of hole upon final bridge installation.

12.8 Remove protective film from bridge strip and install the grommet.

12.9 Attach the bridge, top…

12.10 …and bottom.

12.11 Feed cables through grommet into box.

12 78-8140-6222-6-EMarch 2017

12.12 Secure duct to bridge using cable ties.

12.13 Remove liner at duct exit point from fiber distribution terminal.

12.14 Adhere duct to bridge.

12.15 Install grommet in position at the cable exit point.

13.0 MPO Terminated Duct Installation

13.1 The MPO-terminated duct and pull-eye may be pulled through conduit with a minimum inside diameter of one inch. The maximum pulling force must be 20 lb. or less, utilizing the molded pull-eye that is assembled over the MPO connector. Typically, the pulling force should be less than 10 lb.

Using thumbs, pry open at rear with equal force

13.2 To expose the MPO connector, the pull-eye should be removed by prying the two halves apart, as shown in the photo above.

Notes:

• Only the riser rated jacketed cable and MPO connector may be installed in a riser space.

• For optimal duct support and flammability performance, the white duct portion should always be attached to the wall or supported with metal bridge material Section 14.0 “Installation Between Floors.”

• The MPO connector should be cleaned per your company’s standard cleaning practice, before insertion into a standard MPO adapter using an IBCTM MPO Cleaning Tool (by US Conec), a CLETOP MPO Cleaner, or equivalent.

1378-8140-6222-6-E March 2017

14.0 Installation Between Floors14.1 When the duct makes a transition (vertically) from

one floor to another it must be supported. The bridge material is used to add support to the duct.

14.2 Use the bridge to determine the length required.

14.3 Run the bridge (this is just the bridge, do not stick the duct to it at this point) from the upper floor to the lower floor.

14.4 Mark the bridge for cutting. Increase the length required to include a hole at each end. These holes will be used for mounting near each end within the FDT box and the transition point to horizontal cabling.

14.5 Tie a pull in line to the bridge before you retrieve it. This will place the pull line for you.

14.6 Pull the bridge back to the origination point and cut to length.

14.7 Determine the amount of slack required from the end of the fanout to store slack duct in the box (at least 3 – 4 feet (91.4 cm – 121.9 cm) are recommended). Mark this location. This is where you will begin to stick your duct to the bridge. Cut the red liner.

14.8 Remove the red liner in a direction away from the fanout. This will be the point that you start sticking the duct to the bridge. Remove the white liner from the bridge. This is the surface that will attach to the duct. Stick the duct to the bridge — do not cover the first or last hole of the bridge with duct. We will use these holes to anchor the duct at each floor.

14.9 Use a cable tie to reinforce the duct to the bridge.

14.10 Tape the unstuck end of the bridge to the duct to keep it from snagging as you pull it vertically between floors.

14 78-8140-6222-6-EMarch 2017

14.11 Pull the duct through the vertical pathway and adhere the bridge as you pull. Make sure not to cover the first and last holes on the bridge with duct.

14.12 Remove the tape. Fasten the bridge to the back wall inside the FDT box and at floor level of the horizontal cable.

14.13 Install the duct per practice.

Note: When transitioning through the riser, the 3M™ One Pass Fiber Pathway with bridge attached must be contained within a riser rated conduit as required by local ordinances or company practice. This is a requirement in the US to pass UL 1666 Riser Flammability Testing.

15.0 Funnel InstallationThe funnel is used to cover the holes that are drilled through firewalls. The funnel consists of four pieces, the main body, a small insert, screw and an anchor.At no time should the fiber pathway be routed through a wall without being inside a metal conduit.

15.1 Determine and mark hole location for passing duct through wall.

15.2 Drill 1" (25 mm) diameter hole at marked location.

15.3 Determine direction of travel of duct down the hallway. Check to make sure duct will be placed in the “flange down” position during installation.

15.4 Place funnel into hole to ensure fit, and locate the anchor hole of the funnel on the opposite side of the hole as the direction of travel of the duct.

15.5 Mark location of center of anchor hole on the wall using the funnel as template.

15.6 Remove the funnel from the wall and drill a 3/16" (5 mm) hole for the funnel anchor.

1578-8140-6222-6-E March 2017

15.7 Insert plastic screw anchor (provided) into wall to prepare for final mounting of funnel to wall.

15.8 Feed duct through hole and anchor properly using appropriate procedures.

15.9 Determine section of duct that will be placed inside the barrel of the thru wall funnel.

15.10 Remove approximately 2 inches (51 mm) of flange from the duct in this section, enabling it to fit properly within the barrel.

15.11 Slide the funnel onto the duct, using the opening in the side of the barrel to allow this action.

15.12 Test fit duct and funnel in wall to ensure that the section of duct with the flange removed is inside the barrel, and the flange start point is at or near the outer edge (outer diameter) of the funnel.

15.13 Slide and snap the funnel insert onto the funnel base, securing the duct within the funnel.

15.14 Insert the funnel/duct assembly into the hole and align anchor hole with pre-placed plastic anchor in wall.

16 78-8140-6222-6-EMarch 2017

15.15 Tighten the #6 screw (provided) to a snug fit to properly anchor funnel/duct assembly.

15.16 Remove the liner from the duct starting at the outer edge (outer diameter) of the funnel.

15.17 Place the duct onto the wall in the direction of travel, making sure the duct is located on the funnel insert as it exits the funnel.

15.18 The flange ends at the entry of the funnel.

15.19 Begin/resume normal installation of duct using approved installation procedures.

16.0 3M™ One Pass Surface Mount Multipurpose Box Installation (Wall Penetration)

The 3M™ One Pass Surface Multipurpose Box is used to cover the penetration from the hallway into the telco closet, or house a set of fusion splices for a repair or other special cases. For instructions regarding fusion splices, refer to section 34.0 “Fusion Splicing with the 3M™ One Pass Surface-Mount Multipurpose Box.”

16.1 Select location for the multipurpose box that will cover the cable exit hole(s). If possible, position the exit location of each duct to match the selected duct offset for that floor.

16.2 Mark hole locations for mounting the multipurpose box, and for anchoring each duct before exiting the box. Ensure duct will not be placed in a position that interferes with the box placement flat onto wall.

1778-8140-6222-6-E March 2017

16.3 Drill holes and insert plastic screw anchors into marked locations. Drill additional anchoring locations through box if necessary to create adequate anchoring to wall.

16.4 Insert and pull the duct fanout pulleye(s) into the fiber distribution terminal, and anchor fanout(s) using standard practice.

16.5 Place ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape 2090 onto wall surface beginning at exit point of box to create a reference edge at the desired offset from reference surface.

16.6 Mark locations of duct anchors to locate screw location after duct is installed over the anchors.

16.7 Begin peeling liner from duct at wall exit and apply, taking care to place duct so that the flange will pass over the anchor location, as well as exit the side of the box with minimal bending stress.

16.8 Use painter's tape reference edge and free hand tool to ensure straightness, and follow standard installation practice for duct.

16.9 Insert #4 countersink screw through flange into anchor within box to secure.

16.10 Place multipurpose box over pass-through location and duct(s), and insert anchoring screws for box. Base of multipurpose box should sit flat on wall after installation.

17.0 Liner Sheet Installation and RemovalItems Required: Common wax paper to be used as liner sheets, measuring device, ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape 2090

Note: Liner sheets prevent the duct from bonding permanently to the wall surface so it can later be repositioned by hand ensuring a straight installation. For use where known inconsistencies or disruptions in the reference surface (ceiling) are present.

17.1 Place edge of liner sheet ½" (13 mm) prior to disruption in reference surface, snug up against reference surface/ceiling.

17.2 Apply a strip of ScotchBlue Painter's Tape 2090, slightly longer than the length of the liner sheet, just below installation height of duct.

17.3 Leave in place during installation.

17.4 After duct installation, the liner sheet is removed by gently pulling it out from under the duct.

17.5 The duct is then placed in a straight line by hand or with the free hand tool depending on the offset.

17.6 Apply pressure and smooth duct in place.

18.0 Terminate Connectorized End of Duct in Fiber Distribution Terminal (FDT)Items Required: Reel of 3M™ One Pass Fiber Pathway Duct

18.1 One end of the reel of 3M™ One Pass Fiber Pathway Duct can be pre-connectorized at a 3M factory with SC connectors (optional). This end is plugged into a fiber distribution terminal.

18.2 Use company approved method for anchoring duct and routing pigtails.

1978-8140-6222-6-E March 2017

19.0 Duct Placement on WallItems Required: 3M™ One Pass Installation Tool Kit (20-I-T-Kit), 3M™ One Pass Installation Pole, ladder, 3M™ One Pass One Pass Fiber Pathway Duct and 3M™ One Pass Utility Cart Assembly Kit (800-U-C-Kit)

Note: A two-person crew is recommended.

19.1 The adhesive selected for the One Pass Fiber Pathway is a permanent adhesive. 3M does not recommend moving or repositioning the duct once installed. If, for some reason the duct does need to be moved, a mechanical fastener is required to secure the duct to wall. Use the 3M™ One Pass Free Hand Tool Template or measure down from reference surface. Mark the wall at the pre-determined offset distance in two places at least 6" (152 mm) apart. A leveling device can be used to ensure duct is placed straight.

19.2 Place top edge of the tape along the marks.

Note: Recommended air and duct temperature for install is 60°F–100°F (16°C–38°C).

19.3 Apply the first 18" (457 mm) of duct (flange down) on the wall using the Free Hand Tool along top edge of tape placed temporarily on the wall as a guide.

19.4 Drop the duct into the tool lead in ramp (A), positioning the liner removal post (B) behind the duct. Slide the tool into position with the grooves of the installation wheels over barrel of the duct (C).

26.0 3M™ One Pass “T” Cover Installation

The 3M™ One Pass T Cover allows the installer to redirect a fiber from the main duct. One application would be to accommodate a lower ceiling height in a living unit.

The T cover requires a piece of empty duct. Cut the desired length of duct from an extra spool, and remove the fiber from this duct.

If a 3M™ One Pass Point-of-Entry Box is located in the location where the T cover is to be installed, remove the current box, and uncoil the stored fiber.

Note: Do not remove the adhesive liners from the T cover at this step. The T cover is used as a template first.

26.1 Place the T cover (liner intact) centered over the window cut making sure it covers the entire cut. Mark the wall to locate the flange edge of the duct. The flange can face either right or left.

26.2 Remove the T cover.

26.3 If no window cut exists, determine and mark the location of the edge of the flange for the vertical section of duct.

26.4 Using a level, transfer the mark you made to create a straight line with a pencil or blue painter’s tape as a reference.

26.5 Place a small mark on the duct at the estimated location where the round portion of the new duct will exit the T cover. Center the window cut template over this mark, and create the window cut (See next section).

26.6 Pull back the desired fiber using standard procedures until enough length has been obtained, and cut excess fiber away. There must be enough slack fiber to reach the new location, install a connector on the end, and store it properly.

26.7 Apply the empty piece of duct beginning at a point approximately ¼" (6 mm) below the horizontal duct run. Do not exceed ½" (13 mm) offset. Remove the liner of the duct and apply to the wall following the reference line.

26 78-8140-6222-6-EMarch 2017

26.8 If the fiber is connectorized, remove the connector from the fiber. If it is a spliced pigtail, cut before the splice. Thread the fiber through the empty duct. Do not pull the fiber tight. Maintain a gentle bend on the fiber as it transitions into the vertically aligned duct. Do not allow the fiber to cross the window cut except as it transitions into the new duct.

26.9 Remove the adhesive liners from the T cover and press it into place. Take care not to trap the fiber under the adhesive, or between the duct and the top flange of the T cover.

26.10 If placing a 3M™ One Pass Point-of-Entry Box, mount it at the new location over the added section of duct. Put a connector on using company practice. Store the fiber in the box and put the connector in the adapter. If using a through wall funnel, follow standard instructions for this process.

27.0 End of RunNote: 3M recommendation is to always end the run

at an internal corner. Duct should appear to run into the wall. If you are unable to do so, follow this procedure.

27.1 Locate, drill, and insert screw anchor at location where duct will terminate on wall.

27.2 Once the end of the hallway is reached, using snips, the duct is cut (with fibers inside), square.

Note: At least 28" (1 m) of fiber are needed beyond last point-of- entry location.

27.3 If end of run is less than 28" (1 m) from last point-of-entry location, the installer must pay off a minimum of 28" (1 m) of duct from reel before cutting the duct.

2778-8140-6222-6-E March 2017

27.4 Identify upstream point-of-entry location, make window cut and mark hole locations (See section 28).

27.5 Snip end of duct to length, ensuring a square cut of the duct.

27.6 Screw flange.

27.7 Using the fiber pick tool, pull all fibers back to be later stored in Point-of-Entry Box.

28.0 Sealing End of DuctItems Required: Caulk, filler (i.e., small piece of paper, tissue, paper towel, etc.)

28.1 Insert filler material into end of duct.

28.2 With filler material inside duct, apply caulk over the end of the duct opening.

Steps for Accessing Fiber and Installing 3M™ One Pass Surface-Mount Point-of- Entry Box29.0 Window Cut PlacementItems Required: 3M™ One Pass Window Cut Template, 3M™ One Pass Window Cut Tool, snips, 3M™ Crimplok™+ Connectors & Termination Kit or 3M™ No Polish Connectors & Termination Kit

29.1 Place the Window Cut Template over duct at desired point-of-entry locations. Point-of-entry locations are typically located outside each living unit.

Note: Begin at the location closest to the end of the run and work back to the fiber distribution terminal.

29.2 Mark holes for mounting a 3M™ One Pass Point-of-Entry Box.

29.3 Using The 3M™ One Pass Window Cut Template as a guide, make a window cut in the 3M™ One Pass Fiber Pathway Duct using the window cut tool.

m Safety Note: Make window cut by cutting away from hand that is holding window cut template.

Note: Window cut can be shorter than length of template but not longer, otherwise it will not be concealed by the point-of-entry box or window cut cover.

29.4 Locate and snip fiber to be used at upstream access location, one up from the assigned current living unit using the fiber pick. Leave snipped fiber in duct.

29.5 Locate and pull back fiber to be prepositioned outside the current living unit.

Note: Fibers should not be pulled back through more than two 90°corners.

29.6 If the fiber path between two access locations includes more then two 90° corners, an additional window cut must be made between the two locations. This location is covered with a window cut cover.

34.0 Fusion Splicing with the 3M™ One Pass Surface-mount Multipurpose Box

The 3M™ One Pass Surface-Mounts Multipurpose Box can be used to house a set of fusion splices for a repair or special case. For instructions regarding wall pass through, refer to section 16.0, Multipurpose Box Installation (Wall Penetration).

34.1 Select location for the multipurpose box that will hold the fusion splice(s).

34.2 Create window cut #1 (see section 25.0) and mark hole locations for multipurpose box using window cut template.

34.3 Drill holes and insert plastic screw anchors into marked locations.

34.4 Approximately 24" (61 cm) away from this location on the duct to be removed, make window cut #2 to access the fiber.

3378-8140-6222-6-E March 2017

34.5 Cut all 12 fibers at window cut #2, and pull excess fiber back through window #1.

34.6 Pull excess fiber out of the way, and cut the duct at the edge of window cut #1 with a sheath knife, or other sharp cutter.

34.7 If removing damaged duct section, initiate and peel that section starting with window cut #1 to the desired location. Wall can be scribed on top and bottom edges of duct to reduce the amount of damage done to the wall during removal if necessary.

34.8 Discard duct that has been removed from wall.

34.9 Insert the 12 fiber tails from window cut #1 into multipurpose box from the backside of the box, and mount multipurpose box onto duct with supplied screws.

34.10 Wrap fiber tails into 3M™ One Pass Surface-Mount Multipurpose Box for storage.

34.11 Snap lid onto multipurpose box.

34.12 Wall repair can now be completed per normal practice. Any material that the duct removes should be filled back in to create a flat surface before painting and new duct installation.

34.13 After wall repair is complete, remove the Multipurpose Box lid at end of installed duct and uncoil fiber tails. Tape fiber tails to wall away from working area.

34.14 Remove multipurpose anchor screws and box from wall. Store box, lid, and screws for later use.

34.15 Install new section of duct using standard procedures. Apply duct to a location even with the closest multipurpose box anchor to that side.

34.16 Cut duct with 24" (61 cm) excess length to obtain fiber slack.

34 78-8140-6222-6-EMarch 2017

34.17 Make a window cut, aligning the outer edge of the cut with the Multipurpose Box anchor. Make sure window cut will be within the footprint of the multipurpose box.

34.18 Pull back excess fiber tails, and cut excess duct away without damaging fibers.

34.19 Place and hold the fusion splice holder and template behind the Multipurpose Box, aligning the screw holes. Thread all fibers through back of multipurpose box on each side of splice base.

34.20 Mount multipurpose box and fusion holder template to wall.

34.21 Fiber is ready for splicing. Complete per company practice, or store excess fiber in multipurpose box.

34.22 Upon completion of splicing and storing fiber, snap lid into place.

35.0 Fiber Maintenance35.1 Option 1: Use a spare fiber. Each floor should

be engineered with fiber counts that exceed the number that are required for each floor. In the event of a fiber cut, one of the spare fibers can be put into service.

35.2 Option 2: If the break is near the connector there is enough stored slack in the 3M™ One Pass Point-of-Entry (POE) Box to do additional terminations.

35.3 Option 3: If an additional length of fiber is required, splice to one of the unused ends (colors) and gain the additional fiber needed. For example: In the system when the blue fiber is used (the first apartment on the floor coming from the fiber distribution terminal). The blue fiber is cut dead to the field at the second POE. The blue fiber from the cut point to the end is left unused. Splice the broken fiber to the unused blue fiber to reach the living unit desired. This splice can be done along the length of the duct and concealed by a window cut cover.
