Pipe Wraps Installation Guide

Intuchem Intumescent Pipe Wrap Installation

Intumescent Pipe Wrap is designed for wrapping around plastic pipes that pass through masonry floors and walls.

Tested to EN & BS Standard they have a fire rating of up to 4 hours. Intuchem Intumescent Pipe Wraps are cost effective, easy to fit and are unaffected by moisture, humidity or frost.

Pipe wraps are constructed using flexible strips of high performance intumescent material encapsulated in a polythene sleeve - designed for wrapping around plastic pipes that pass through masonry floors and walls. On exposure to fire the wrap expands rapidly inwards to squeeze the collapsing plastic pipe until the aperture is completely sealed to fire and fumes.

Wraps are manufactured to the correct length to suit pipe sizes, 32mm – 200mm.

To install:
Ensure that there is adequate annular space between the plastic pipe and the concrete floor or wall to allow for the wrap thickness and sufficient Intuchem FR Mortar to cast in place.

Push the wrap into the void so that the bottom edge is flush with the soffit (underside of the concrete floor) or flush with the wall surface, wrap the Intuchem Pipe Wrap tightly around the pipe and secure with the self-adhesive tape attached: it is important for the proper functioning of the pipe wrap that the edge is exposed to view.

Fill the annular gap with Intuchem FR Mortar and finish the floor or wall surface to suit the rest of the surroundings.

Maintain records of installation for future record.

 

IMPORTANT:
The pipe wrap's polythene sleeve is sealed in the factory with the correct amount of intumescent material to suit the relevant pipe sizes: material should not be removed from the pipe wrap.

These products must be cast in situ, and as such are not suitable for use in timber floor constructions, metal or timber stud walls, or any other 'hollow' construction, where the use of an Intuchem pipe collar is recommended.
