Fire Collars / Pipe Collars Installation Guide

Intuchem Intumescent Pipe Collar installation

Intuchem Ltd intumescent pipe collars are designed to maintain the fire resistance of compartment walls and floors where they are penetrated by UPVC, MDPE, HDPE, ABS & PP plastic pipes.

They consist of a powder coated, split / hinged cylindrical steel which can be opened and fitted around the pipe. The steel shell contains a heat reactive graphite based intumescent material. Each collar is fastened be means of a toggle clasp and has integral lugs at one end for ease of installation.

Sizes from 32mm – 355mm and upto a 4 hour rating.

Fitted to Masonry / Block Wall

1 Attach the Intuchem Collar to the pipe so that the integral mounting lugs are pressed tight to the surface of the wall.

2 Mark the position of the bolt slots in the mounting lugs onto the surface of the wall with a marker pen.

3 Rotate the collar slightly, (or if access is restricted remove from pipe), and drill holes at the pre-marked positions to suit the anchor bolts being used.

4 If the surface of the wall is very uneven, it is recommended to bed the collar onto a bead of Intuchem Intumescent mastic.

5 Insert the anchor bolts and tap home. Relocate the collar in position ensuring that the toggle clasp is snapped closed and that the bolt heads are protruding through the slots in the mounting lugs. Tighten the nuts onto the bolts.

 

6 NOTE Where there is a fire risk on both sides of the wall, or the direction of fire risk has not been determined, then an Intuchem pipe collar should be fitted to both sides of the wall.

7 the collar can also be semi or fully cast into the masonry wall using Intuchem fire rated mortar
