Astro PFP CE Intumescent Pipe Closer - 140mm

Astro PFP CE Intumescent Pipe Closer

- 140mm (Depth 60mm)

The Astro PFP CE Intumescent Pipe Closer (140mm diameter, 60mm depth) is a sophisticated fire protection solution designed to seal penetrations around pipes in fire-rated walls and floors. This product is crucial for maintaining the fire resistance of structural elements and ensuring that fire, smoke, and toxic gases do not bypass fire barriers.

Product Overview

1. Function and Purpose:

• The primary function of the Astro PFP CE Intumescent Pipe Closer is to provide a secure seal around pipes that pass through fire-rated barriers. By filling the annular space between the pipe and the surrounding wall or floor, it prevents the passage of flames and smoke during a fire. This helps maintain the integrity of fire-rated compartments, crucial for controlling the spread of fire and protecting occupants and property.

2. Intumescent Technology:

• Material Composition: The pipe closer features a high-performance intumescent material that responds to elevated temperatures. When exposed to fire, this material expands significantly, forming a dense, heat-resistant char that seals the penetration tightly.
• Expansion Properties: The intumescent material is designed to expand to several times its original volume when subjected to high temperatures, creating a barrier that effectively resists fire and smoke.

3. Dimensions and Specifications:

• Diameter: 140mm – This diameter is suitable for use with pipes of this size, ensuring a snug and effective fit around the pipe to prevent any gaps that could compromise fire safety.
• Depth: 60mm – The depth of the closer provides ample space for the intumescent material to expand and create a reliable seal. This depth is optimized to ensure that the closer performs effectively in various fire scenarios.

4. Installation:

• Ease of Installation: The Astro PFP CE Intumescent Pipe Closer is designed for straightforward installation. It can be mounted around the pipe during construction or retrofitted into existing penetrations. The closer is typically fixed in place using screws or adhesive, depending on the construction materials and the specific requirements of the installation site.
• Compatibility: It is suitable for installation in various types of fire-rated walls and floors, making it versatile for use in different building applications.

5. Compliance and Certification:

• CE Marking: The product is CE marked, indicating compliance with European safety standards and regulations. This certification ensures that the pipe closer meets rigorous testing and performance criteria for fire protection.

6. Applications:

• The Astro PFP CE Intumescent Pipe Closer is suitable for use in a wide range of building types, including residential, commercial, and industrial structures. It is particularly useful in locations where pipes penetrate fire-rated barriers, such as in walls and floors that form part of a fire-resistant compartment.

7. Performance and Durability:

• Fire Resistance: The closer is designed to provide long-lasting fire protection. Its intumescent material maintains its protective properties over time, ensuring reliable performance in the event of a fire.
• Maintenance: Minimal maintenance is required. Periodic inspections are recommended to ensure the closer remains intact and properly positioned.

8. Additional Benefits:

• Aesthetic Integration: The pipe closer is designed to blend seamlessly with surrounding construction, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the building while providing crucial fire protection.
• Cost-Effectiveness: By offering a reliable fire-stopping solution, the Astro PFP CE Intumescent Pipe Closer contributes to overall building safety and may help reduce potential costs associated with fire damage and repairs.

In summary, the Astro PFP CE Intumescent Pipe Closer (140mm diameter, 60mm depth) is an essential component for effective fire protection. Its advanced intumescent technology, ease of installation, and compliance with safety standards make it a valuable addition to any fire-rated barrier, ensuring the safety and integrity of building structures in the event of a fire.
