Fireplug
FPC Pipe Closers are made using Firefly 101/102 and are designed
to surface mount around the pipe penetration. They can be
used on either solid walls/floors or partition type hollow walls/floors
suject to adequate approved fixings being incorporated. The
steel canister is 56mm deep and filled with intumescent.
ACTION
Under
the action of heat approved plastic pipes soften as the intumescent
expands, sealing the void left by the disappearing pipe.
PERFORMANCE
Fireplug
FPC has been tested up to 4 hours and at the Building Test Centre
to British Standards BS476: Part 22: 1987: Clause 5, following the
methodology of PREN 1366.3 (1993), and 120 minutes insulation and
integrity was achieved. Full test reports are available on
request.
APPLICATION
Fireplug
canisters are fixed around the pipe and the toggle clip engaged.
The canister is then slipped along the pipe to the wall or ceiling.
The canister is then fixed to the wall or ceiling. The fixings
used on the test were four number 50mm wood screws, screwed directly
into the aerated block wall (Thermalite, Celcon, etc.). If
fitting to concrete floors or brick walls 65mm steel screws or preferably
expanded anchors may be used. The opposite side of the wall/floor
to the Fireplug FPC can then be back filled with sand and cement
if required.
When
a Fireplug FPC is to be used on hollow timber, studded walls, and
joisted floors additional members may need to be incorporated to
permit additional fixing. The canister must be surface fixed to
the fire risk side of the partition, or when this is not known then
a canister must be fitted to both sides.
The
rating that the canister will provide is dependent upon the plastic
type / pipe size / supporting construction. Please contact us for
advice.
