WPCS Fire Protection Kit
Our fire protection kit for large pipes protects large PVC/Polypropylene/UPVC pipes up to 900mm in diameter. (minimum wall thickness of 3mm). To protect the pipe, complete the outlined steps prior to installation of the WPCS collar. Apply fibreglass and intumescent coating to pipe section passing through the wall and each side of the wall to the depth of the WPCS collar.
Designed with intumescent to provide effective passive fire protection. In the event of a fire, the intumescent crushes PVC pipes to prevent serious fires from spreading. The intumescent will continue to expand under heat to several times its original size to create a protective layer.
The kit is supplied with an intumescent WPCS collar, 2 layers of fibreglass, adhesive with hardener as well as grey intumescent coating.
- Cut the fibreglass to required length with overlap.
- Stir the supplied adhesive and hardener well and apply directly onto the pipe.
- Place the first sheet of fibreglass onto the pipe, overlapping by 50-100mm. Leave to dry for 20 minutes.
- Apply the remaining adhesive onto the pipe and cut another sheet of adhesive to lay above the first sheet.
- Leave to set for 2 hours.
- Apply 3 coats of grey intumescent coating at 8m2 per litre per coat, waiting 20 minutes between coatings.
- The sleeve is then ready to fit onto the wall.
