OCM, Inc’s Concrete Sleeves are a great choice for high rise structures. They're used to create vertical pass - through voids for piping and conduit. These sleeves are injection - molded from high - strength yet flexible polyethylene. Their tapered design saves labor as they can be easily removed after the forms are stripped. You can telescope or cut them to fit any slab thickness, and it's a breeze to cut them with a utility knife. Features include easy removal from the slab because of the tapered design, always creating a smooth round hole, being dent and bend - resistant, and having a 1' increment taper for easy on - site removal and cutting. Here are some product details:

Using these concrete sleeves is quite simple. First, choose the right size for your project from the available options in the product details. Place the sleeve in the desired location on the high - rise structure where you need to create a vertical pass - through void for piping and conduit. After the concrete has set and the forms are stripped, you can easily remove the sleeve due to its tapered design. When handling the sleeves, be careful not to apply excessive force that could cause accidental damage, although they are resistant to dents and bends. If you need to adjust the length to fit your slab thickness, you can use a utility knife to cut them. To keep the sleeves in good condition, store them in a dry place away from sharp objects that could puncture or damage them. Also, avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures for long periods as this might affect the material properties.
