Intumescent Protection Sleeve System for Cables

Description

A complete unit giving fire and smoke protection for fire barrier brick, block, and concrete walls, where electrical and plumbing services penetrate. The unit is in two sections:

• A semi flexible tube 200mm and 600mm long that can be cut to the right size to suit the wall or floor. In the case of a fire, this will intumesce, filling the hole, therefore preventing the spread of fire. (Add /2 or /6 to the reference accordingly).
• A smoke protection unit that allows the maintenance of services but in a fire prevents the spread of smoke — a unit is placed at each end of the tube.
  Fire Barrier for use in walls and floors, where cables can be easily installed or removed. Other lengths are available.

ADVANTAGES

• A complete unit providing up to 130 minutes fire and smoke protection for electrical and plumbing services passing through fire barrier walls made from block, brick, concrete, and hollow plasterboard
• Easily removed to allow the maintenance of services. Cables can be easily installed or removed once the unit is fitted

FIRE TEST PERFORMANCE

Tested to BS476 Part 22 (1987), achieving 130 minutes integrity in solid walls and 67 minutes in hollow plasterboard walls.

Tested at VNE to European Standard EN1363-1 (2000).

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

The semi-flexible tube is pushed into the hole for the services – cut to the right size to suit depth of wall or floor. The smoke protection unit is then screwed to the face of the substrate either side of the hole where your services are to pass through. The units contain a fireproof sponge smoke seal which can be easily cut to allow cables etc. to pass through.  The Intumescent Protection Sleeve System can be fitted over existing services.  The semi flexible tube can be cut and fitted around the cables etc. and adhered with the self-adhesive tag then pushed into the wall. The smoke protection units come in two parts and can be screwed around the exiting services either side of the opening.  Once the system is in place, cables and services can be removed and replaced easily.
