Fire Penetration Sealing Systems
VS Plastic Pipe Wrap is a fire stop product that is used as a fire barrier around plastic civil pipes. It is a dry, flexible intumescent strip that is wrapped around plastic penetrating service pipes passing through civil openings in a wall/floor crossing in a building structure. In the event of fire, the intumescent film/wrap expands multiple times inward to seal the pipe opening completely thereby creating a fire seal. This fire stop system may require Ace Mastik Sealant to fill any small gaps that may remain between the pipe, VS Plastic Pipe Wraps and the cut outs through which the pipes are passing. In order to ensure a full proof fire stop system, a fire sealing system needs to be applied in the openings through which the pipes are passing such as Ace Mortar Seal or Ace Panel Seal. The intumescent wraps can be installed for various standard plastic pipe sizes of nominal diameter like 1”, 2”, 3”, 4”, 6”& 8”. Usually, the smaller pipes of up to 4” would use VS Plastic Pipe Wraps with Ace Mastik Coating and the larger pipes of 6” & 8” would require the VS Plastic Pipe Collars in order to create a full proof fire seal. The flexible film in the form of a ready wrap around the pipe is wrapped in 1 to 2 layers. The film is generally 2.5 mm to 3 mm thick in a width of maximum 6”. It can be cut to the appropriate length based on the requirement at site. VS Plastic Pipe Wraps are tested as per ASTM E 814 & UL 1479.
The flexible film in the form of a ready wrap around the pipe is wrapped in 1 to 2 layers . The film is generally 2.5 mm to 3 mm thick in a width of maximum 6”. It can be cut to required width at site to suit the location.
