Flamro Endless Collar
Plastic pipes can create a route for fire and smoke to spread through a building if the penetrations through fire-resisting walls and floors are not properly protected.
The Flamro Endless Collar is designed to provide a flexible approach to firestopping certain pipe penetrations as part of a suitable tested system.
What is the Flamro Endless Collar?
The Flamro Endless Collar is a fire protection collar incoporating an intumescent strip within a metal housing.
The strip is designed to expand when exposed to fire, helping close the opening left by a combustible pipe as the pipe osftens or burns away.
Its endless format allows the collar to be cut to the required length for suitable applications, subject to the manufacturer's instructions and approved system configuration.
What are the benefits of an endless firestop collar?
A flexible collar format can be useful where installers need to accommodate different pipe sizes or project layouts.
Potential benefits include:
- Flexible sizing for permitted pipe applications.
- A practial solution for specified pipe penetration details.
- Integration into suitable tested firestopping systems.
- An option to consider when planning passive fire protection installations.
The permitted pipe materials, dimensions, number of wraps or fixing arrangements and fire-resistance ratings depend on the specific tested system.
Why is correct installation important?
The performance of a pipe collar depends on more than the collar itself. The pipe material, diameter, supporting wall or floor, opening dimensions and installation method all need to match the relevant system requirements.
Always consult the manufacturer's technical documentation before installation.
