Fire Pillows Installation Guide

Intumescent Fire Pillow Installation

The Intuchem Fire Pillows are filled with organic fillers and intumescent additives in a water proof, flexible glass cloth bag on the outside. Various pillow sizes enable a temporary or permanent seal to be achieved for most aperture sizes, accommodating service penetrations.

Intuchem intumescent Fire Pillows are designed to accommodate services which need to remain flexible or have a need to be removed from the aperture on a regular basis.
Up to 600mm ² 4 Hour Rated, up to 850mm ² 2 Hour Rated - vertical or horizontal.

For Wall Openings:
Four sizes of Intuchem fire pillows are available, ensure that the correct pillow is installed to suit the opening size. Pack pillows 300mm deep.

Shake the pillows to give an even distribution of the infill material before installation.

Lay pillows in to the opening with the shortest span across the width of the opening, so that they are in a brick format. Ensure that the lower layer is overlapped by the top layer.

Pack pillows in to the opening around the services to the required quantity, adding smaller pillows where necessary to fill all small voids. Do ensure that all voids are completely filled.

All cable/electrical trunkings are to be filled using the Intuchem sausage pillow.
