Insulated Pipe Sleeve Installation Guide

Insulated Pipe Sleeve installation

The acoustic insulated intumescent pipe sleeve is an effective product for the fire stopping of pipe penetrations e.g. plumbing pipe and metallic pipes whilst maintaining similar thermal and acoustic properties as standard mineral fibre insulation. These properties ensure compliance to water bye laws and building regulations for hot and cold water pipes and heating systems.

In a fire situation the sleeve expands to fill the available space between the pipe and the penetration. In the case of plastic pipes the sleeve will crush and close off the pipe forming a solid char and preventing the passage of fire and smoke to the adjacent compartment.

Suitable for use on: Copper 12mm- 160mm | Mild steel 22mm - 160mm | Polybutylene 12mm - 28mm | PVC 55mm - 160mm. Matix shows pipe/construction material combinations tested.

1 Carefully cut the pipe sleeve to the required length
2 If necessary make single slit along sleeve length to allow fitting around installed
3 Fit sleeve around pipe and reseal the cut with repair tape
4 Slide sleeve along pipe and into cavity and tape sleeve to existing insulation if required
Please note : for irregular holes or gaps of greater than 15mm around the pipe sleeve fill with mortar,mastic or similar.smaller gaps can be filled with Intuchem Sealant if required
