Thermal Fire Pipe Sleeve - 67mm

A high percentage of the steel, copper and plastic pipes found in commercial and domestic buildings will penetrate through fire rated constructions such as ceilings, floors and walls. Once a hole is made in a fire rated construction for the passage of pipes or services the integrity of the compartment is compromised.

To solve this problem, the thermal fire pipe sleeve reinstates the fire rating of the construction and prevents fire spreading from one compartment to another. It also protects copper pipes from cement erosion.

These sleeves are a cost effective product for the fire stopping of pipe penetrations, (e.g. plumbing pipe and metallic pipes) whilst maintaining similar thermal and acoustic properties as standard mineral fibre insulation. These properties ensure compliance to water bye laws and building regulations for hot & cold water pipes and heating systems.

In a fire situation, the sleeve expands to fill the available space between the pipe and the penetration. In the case of plastic pipes the sleeve will crush and close off the pipe forming a solid char, preventing the passage of fire and smoke to the adjacent compartment.

Features:

• CE Marked.
• 4-in-1 solution – fire, acoustic, thermal and vapour seal.
• Up to EI120 minutes (2 hours) fire rating in gypsum walls and solid foors.
• Up to EI240 minutes (4 hours) fire rated in solid walls.
• Suitable for both metal and plastic pipes.
• Simple & quick to install, no fixings or sleeving required.
• Available to suit pipe diameters of 15mm to 169mm.
• 1 length of fire sleeve can replace two fire collars.
• Lubrizol approved.
• Cost effective, can be cut to length.

Installation:

• Cut sleeve to desired length which should be at least the wall thickness.
• On insulated pipes the sleeve should protrude from the wall to allow the taping of the insulated joint.
• Fit sleeve to pipe and slide into aperture.
• Tape joints with foil tape.
• Seal small gaps around the sleeve with intumescent sealant.
