A circular metal collar with an intumescent lining, giving 1 to 4 hours protection to pipes from 45mm to 650mm diameter. The fixing brackets can be twisted around to fix into different positions and can be pressed flat to fix to walls or ceilings. Extra holes are provided to move the fixing brackets to other positions.

• Acoustic version offers both airborne and impact sound protection
• Adjustable brackets allow for fitting in hard-to-access areas

FIRE TEST PERFORMANCE

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prior to fixing, please ensure:

• Access for fitting is available
• Correct area of risk is assessed (double-risk areas may require two collars
• Correct size of collar appropriate to the pipe or service being protected

(See also Envirograf® Product 110 for hollow wall fixing)

The product must be installed correctly. Fixing lugs are already fitted to WPCS collars. They can be fixed to solid structures with raw plugs with screws.  It is recommended that you pump a spot of Envirograf product 58 (Intumescent Mastic) into the previously drilled hole. For hollow plasterboard walls, fix with screws if there are timber noggins to fix to, otherwise use steel toggle fixings. If WPCS are to be fitted into an area where no noggins or blockwork to attach to, the lugs can be re-attached to another part of the WPCS by drilling 1.5mm holes into the side of the collar and screw into collar. WPCS’s MUST be securely fixed.

Please Note: WPCS/C for ceiling application is only available from 2 hours protection upwards.

WPCS/C comes with hinge and pin opening.

IMPORTANT

Please note that external pipe diameters may vary between different manufacturers and systems, and ambient temperature also affects dimensions. Please select the collar size most appropriate for your application, allowing a small clearance for ease of fitting. A close fitting between the collar and the pipe surface should be the aim, but the collar should not be unduly strained in order to close it around the pipe. A fireproof sponge filler strip can be provided upon request for special applications. Please enquire with details of your application for technical advice.
