Description

Intumescent Sleeve for Cables

A penetration sealing unit designed with protective intumescent sleeve for cables to create a fire barrier.

Consists of a semi-flexible cylindrical tube with two end plates. The end plates house a fireproof sponge, which expands to prevent the spread of fires as well as smoke.

• The fireproof sponge is flexible and easily cut to allow pipes or electrical services to pass through.
• The metal cylinder houses the cables and compartmentalises them as they pass through walls made of brick, blockwork, concrete or plasterboard.
• The intumescent material fitted to both ends expands to seal the apertures in a fire.
• As a result, smoke and fire become compartmentalised to a room before they rapidly spread.

Fires controlled at the source allow time for occupants to evacuate a building via a fire escape route.

We manufacture our intumescent sleeve system in standard sizes, other sizes also made to order.

Alternative products which provide passive fire protection for cables or pipes is Product 16 – Multi-Purpose Fire Box or Product 110 – Firoblok Sleeves.

Application Instructions

The semi-flexible tube is pushed into the hole for the services – cut to the right size to suit depth of
wall or floor. The smoke protection unit is then screwed to the face of the substrate either side of the hole
where your services are to pass through. The units contain a fireproof sponge smoke seal which can be
easily cut to allow cables etc. to pass through.
The Intumescent Protection Sleeve System can be fitted over existing services. The semi flexible tube
can be cut and fitted around the cables etc. and adhered with the self-adhesive tag then pushed into the
wall. The smoke protection units come in two parts and can be screwed around the exiting services
either side of the opening.
Once the system is in place, cables and services can be removed and replaced easily.
