Pipe accessories

A combination of Rockwool insulation and graphite intumescent powder designed to provide fire stopping and thermal insulation of pre-insulated pipe penetrations. Designed for use on copper, mild steel, polypropylene, HD polyethylene, ABS and PVC pipes passing through masonry and plasterboard walls and Rockwool Ablative Coated Batts.

The fire sleeves are designed to fire stop pipework operating at temperatures between 0°C and 180°C. At low temperatures, care should be taken to maintain the vapour barrier. They can considerably reduce the noise emission from noisy pipework - for higher standards of acoustic insulation, please refer to Rockwool ‘Techwrap2 and Techtube’ data sheet.

Rockwool insulation products do not contain blowing agents with an ozone depletion potential (ODP) or global warming potential (GWP), are CFC-HCFC-HFC free and 97% recyclable. They will not react with metal components or cause loss of plasticiser from PVC cables and pipes however; precautions should be taken when insulating austenitic stainless steel, regardless of insulation type. The product offers excellent thermal, acoustic and fire protection insulation without providing sustenance to vermin or encouraging the growth of fungi, moulds or bacteria.

The Fire Sleeves are supplied 300 mm long and are simply cut to the desired length. No specialist tools, mastics or ancillary materials are required for the fitting of the sleeves. To maintain the fire rating, the minimum allowable length of sleeve is 60 mm. The Fire Sleeves can accommodate irregularities in the wall/floor opening and the pipe overall diameter up to 15 mm. Multiple pipe penetrations can be accommodated in conjunction with Rockwool Ablative Coated Batts.

Advantages:

• Quick, simple and accurate installation.

• Maintains pipe insulation at penetration points.

• Supplied with integral vapour barrier.

• No mastic or ancillaries required.

• Excellent thermal and acoustic insulation.

Consisting of two half shells of powder coated steel, lined with intumescent material, the collars are available in four standard sizes to fit PVCu pipework, non-standard sizes are available on request.

B150 Pipe Collars have been independently tested and assessed for both integrity and insulation as specified by BS 476: Part 20.1987 and can provide up to 4 hours fire resistance.

A flexible intumescent strip sealed in a protective self-adhesive sleeve, making the pipe wraps quick and easy to install.

System B300 Pipe Wraps give up to 4 hours fire resistance and are available in four standard sizes.
