Deflection head | For deflection head allowance of up to -25 mm or ±12.5 mm, use 2 x 19 mm Knauf Coreboard fillets. Manufacturer guidanceThe fire resistance performance of the system is based on tested solutions using deflection head construction. |
Fire resistance | EI 90 tested in accordance with BS EN 1364-1. |
Sound insulation | 65 dB (Rw) when tested to BS EN 10140-2. |
Duty rating (to BS 5234-2) | Manufacturer's standard. Guidance for specification option: In accordance with BS 5234-2, clause 1.6.2 & 1.6.3 of Annex B & C. Consult manufacturer for details. |
System code | BS-ICB-70-055-4-2x15-SSP-2x15-PP-2x25(229/90). Guidance for specification option: The maximum height stated (see Partition height) is for the fire resistance of the system to meet project requirements where BS compliance (BS 476-22), is required and is accepted by the client, designers and building control. The stated maximum height figure is based on the maximum cold state height, calculated structurally to a limiting deflection of L/240 @ 200Pa. |
Partition height | Manufacturer guidanceInsert requirements, maximum 8000 mm. See System code for further details. |
