Descriptions:
The Insulated Thermal Fire Rated Pipe Sleeve are a range of passive fire protection penetration seals designed to fire-stop insulated metal and combustible plastic pipes.
The Fire Sleeves offer Fire, Acoustic, Thermal and Vapour seal performance to a range of pipes passing through various wall or floor constructions.
The CE Marked range are fire tested in accordance with EN 1366-3 with additional testing and assessments to BS 476 Part 20.
The Insulated Thermal Fire Rated Pipe Sleeve are manufactured from a unique, low smoke, zero halogen intumescent material. The Fire Sleeves are supplied pre-formed and ready to install to suit a variety of pipe diameters.
With a nominal thickness of 25mm, the compressible intumescent sleeve is supplied wrapped in a reinforced aluminium foil allowing it to be cut down its length and retro-fitted around the pipes. This provides an effective fire, smoke and acoustic seal whilst also allowing for some thermal movement. Fire Ratings of EI30, EI60, EI90, EI120 or even up to EI240 minutes are offered depending on the construction type.
Specification:
Length 300mm. Wall thickness 25mm.
Internal diameter size 17mm-169mm.
Maintenance:
All interested parties, designer, specifier, main contractor and specialist installers should provide access to allow the fire stopping seals to be regularly inspected and maintained, as well as records kept of such maintenance at minimum periods of 12 months, as required by the Regulatory Reform Order, and repaired if necessary. Reference should be made to ASFP TGD 17 Code of Practice for the Installation and Inspection of Fire Stopping.
Competency:
It is vital that those entrusted to design or install a fire stopping product have the necessary levels of competence to undertake the task professionally and thoroughly. The level of competency required will be commensurate with the expected complexity of the building. All designers must eliminate, reduce or control foreseeable risks that may arise during installation, construction or maintenance when preparing or modifying designs. Clients should ensure that the principal designer and principal contractor carry out their duties under CDM regulations. The ASFP foundation course in passive fire protection provides essential knowledge as part of demonstrating competency and understanding in this key fire protection specialism.
