Ductwork Fire Stop Installation Guide

Background Information:

Intuchem Duct work Firestops are intended for use where a ventilation duct passes through a fire rated wall. The sleeve maintains the integrity of the fire rated wall which would otherwise be lost.

In the event of a fire, the Duct work Firestops will expand with the heat, crushing the duct and closing off the hole to the fire for at least 2 hours. The Ventilation duct work firestops are available to fit all common sizes of plastic ventilation duct and are suitable for retro fitting with access only required from one side

Installation Information:

Step 1

Use the sleeve as a template* and cut a hole in the floor or wall to provide a snug fit.

* If a three sided sleeve is required then remove the fourth side prior to using the sleeve as a template.

Step 2

If ducting is already in place then cut along the length of the sleeve with a sharp knife, opening the sleeve to wrap around the duct.

Repair the cut with the tape provided

 

Step 3

If the duct is running tightly against the ceiling then the adjacent side of the sleeve can be cut away leaving a “U” shaped sleeve.

Step 4

Slide sleeve along the duct and into the cavity, ensuring that the sleeve has at least 25mm protruding from each side
