Abstract
A fireproof electrical wire housing (9) for routing electrical wires through a barrier wall, such as an aircraft bulkhead (21), without destroying the fireproof and hermetic functions of the bulkhead (21) is disclosed. The fireproof electrical wire housing (9) includes a sleeve (13) which surrounds a wire bundle (11) and a tubular housing (19). The tubular housing (19) includes a cover plate (17) that is mounted to the bulkhead(21). Thereafter, the sleeve (13) is inserted into the tubular housing (19). Holes (35) penetrating the wall of the sleeve (13) are used to inject a sealant into a cavity (39) in the sleeve (13) to prevent vapors and flames from passing through the fireproof electrical wire housing (9).
