Detailed Product Description
Firestop products offer a variety of passive fire protection products, for protecting opening fire-rated walls, ceilings, roofs, doors and windows, and through-penetration firestops for items such as wires, conduits and pipes. Passive fire protection is designed to contain fire retardant elements within the area to prevent loss of life by restricting the spread of fire and combustion products. One important example of passive firestopping is the sealing of through-penetrations made in rated walls and floors for vented plastic pipes. The combustible material of these plastic components presents a far more challenging fire hazard than is posed by metal pipe or conduit penetration because they may melt or burn and create a passage for smoke and flame to spread quickly into adjoining rooms or floors. Plastic pipes can be made from a variety of materials that include PVC, CPVC, cc-PVC, ABS, cc-ABS, PVDF, PP, PB, PEX and FPP.
