Switch Box Liner Installation Guide

 

Intuchem Switch Box Liner Installation

The Switch Box Liners have been developed to provide maximum protection for penetrations created by the introduction of both single and double recessed switch / socket boxes and to allow ease of fitting. In a fire situation, the cover expands internally to fill all of the available space with a fire resistant highly insulating char.


The fire is unable to penetrate the hole and the cover is able to give additional insulation protection to the wall void by reducing the chance of heat build up and the ignition of flammable structural members.

The penetration in the wall also provides a path for air, thus creating heat loss and drafts, the fitting of a Intuchem switch box liner reduces this problem.
