Description

Intumescent Fire Box

A multi-purpose metal fire box lined with intumescent, with one detachable face for ease of fitting. Using a sharp blade, you can cut the sponge feed cables, cable trays, pipes, etc. Lined with intumescent along the internal edges and expands inwards at high temperatures.

In effect, the intumescent creates a powerful fire and smoke seal. In the event of a fire, the intumescent expands to form a fire as well as a smoke seal, preventing smoke and fire from spreading.

Multi-purpose intumescent fire box is designed with fixing brackets to attach using screws onto surfaces around services, including services located in difficult corners. Fire boxes are available in longer sizes to accommodate several pipes or services passing through walls or ceilings.

Suitable for recessing into hollow plasterboard walls. Furthermore, when required, the fireproof sponge is easily replaced. Available in various sizes to accommodate large pipes and, where required, also made to order.

Tested to:

• BS476 Parts 20 and 22 (1987), achieving 4 hours of fire protection.
• EN 1366-3:2009 & EN 1363-1:2004 achieving 75 min integrity and insulation.
