Fire Collars

4-Hour Fire Collars

4-hour fire collars are essential safety components designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through openings in walls, floors, and ceilings where pipes, ducts, and cables pass. These collars are specifically engineered to seal penetrations in fire-rated structures, providing up to 4 hours of fire resistance, ensuring the integrity of fire barriers in the event of a fire.

Made from high-quality, fire-resistant materials, 4-hour fire collars are widely used in both commercial and residential buildings to protect plumbing, electrical, and ventilation systems. Their reliable performance is critical for maintaining fire compartmentation, ensuring that fire cannot easily spread through the building’s infrastructure.

Key Features

  • 4-Hour Fire Resistance: Tested and certified to provide up to 4 hours of fire resistance, helping to protect structural integrity and prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
  • Versatile Applications: Suitable for sealing penetrations around a range of pipe types, including plastic, metal, and composite pipes, as well as ducts and cables.
  • Quick and Easy Installation: Designed for ease of installation, these fire collars can be fitted around pipework or ducts with minimal disruption to the building's structure.
  • Fire-Resistant Material: Made from a combination of intumescent materials and steel, which expand when exposed to heat, effectively sealing the gap and preventing fire spread.
  • Compliant with Fire Safety Standards: Fully compliant with UK and international fire safety regulations, including BS 476-20 and EN 1366-3, ensuring they meet the highest standards for fire protection.
  • Durable and Robust: Built to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh environments, offering long-lasting protection in both domestic and commercial installations.

Applications

  • Plumbing Installations: Used around pipes passing through fire-rated walls, floors, or ceilings in both new builds and refurbishment projects.
  • Electrical Installations: Ideal for sealing cable penetrations in fire-rated barriers to maintain fire compartmentation.
  • Ventilation Systems: Effective for use around ductwork and ventilation pipes to prevent the spread of smoke and fire through HVAC systems.
  • Commercial and Residential Buildings: Essential for any building where fire safety is a priority, ensuring that fire-rated compartments remain intact in the event of a fire.
  • Industrial Installations: Suitable for large-scale industrial projects where pipes and ducts pass through fire-resistant barriers.

Benefits

  • Enhanced Fire Safety: Helps to contain fires and smoke within designated areas, improving the overall fire safety of the building and its occupants.
  • Compliance with Fire Regulations: Provides peace of mind that fire safety standards are met, ensuring that the building is compliant with current fire protection laws.
  • Prevents Spread of Smoke: In addition to fire, the collar also helps to stop smoke from passing through fire barriers, preventing its spread to other areas of the building.
  • Cost-Effective Solution: By offering a high level of fire resistance at an affordable price, these collars provide excellent value for money in terms of fire safety.
  • Long-Term Protection: The durable construction of these fire collars ensures that they will continue to offer reliable protection for many years after installation.

4-hour fire collars are a vital component for any fire safety system, offering a reliable and effective solution to protect against the spread of fire and smoke. Whether in commercial, residential, or industrial settings, these collars provide essential fire resistance for critical systems such as pipes, ducts, and cables, ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations and safeguarding property and lives.
