INTRODUCTION
Firewise Pipe Collars are designed to prevent the spread of fire from one compartment to another where plastic pipes penetrate separating walls and floors and provide up to 4 hours fire resistance.
Firewise Pipe Collars consist of a split hinged powder coated steel shell, which contains the heat reactive intumescent material. The unit is held closed around the pipe by a toggle and latch for ease of closure by the installer. |
|
PERFORMANCE
When exposed to the heat of a fire, the intumescent material contained within the Pipe Collar expands and exerts pressure on the melting plastic pipe, causing the opening to be closed off and thus preventing the spread of fire from one compartment to another.
Firewise Pipe Collars have been
comprehensively tested and assessed in accordance with BS 476: part 20: 1997 for up to 4 hours fire resistance and have certification for a wide range of plastic pipes including PVCu, HDPE, MDPE, PP, ABS. They are available in the widest range of sizes for standard and non-standard pipe diameters, have been tested for use in plasterboard partitions and timber floors and are unaffected by moisture or atmospheric Carbon Dioxide. |
