Description

Intumescent Strips

In recent years, there has been an increase in fires developing from consumer units. Consumer units pose a great risk of becoming live due to overheated loose cables. Cables that also haven’t been properly earthed create a serious electrical hazard. Our intumescent strips for consumer units prevent serious fires caused by overheated cables and circuits.

Placing our intumescent strips inside the unit prevents the spread of fires by expanding when exposed to heat and creating a protective layer. Manufactured with intumescent, the strips form a protective layer within consumer units by expanding when exposed to heat. Peel the backing strip and place it on the top and bottom of the unit, protecting the cable entry. Available in varying sizes, but will fit into standard size consumer units and other electrical units.

This range also offers ECU Covers, Insulating Liners, Intumescent Sleeves as well as Enviroburst tubes for full fire protection for consumer units.

These products are also suitable for use with:

  • Meter boxes
  • Distribution boards
  • Units housing electrical cables.

Our electrical and plumbing products meet IET wiring regulations as well as Document B & E of Building Regulations tested to European and British Standards. Browse our full range of electrical and plumbing products.

Advantages

The intumescent expands under heat and seals off the consumer unit, preventing firespread in domestic and residential buildings.
