High-Performance Pipe Collars & Wraps

Our highly-performant pipe collars and wraps are essential for maintaining fire safety in buildings. These products are expertly designed to seal gaps around pipes that penetrate walls or floors, effectively preventing the spread of fire and smoke. Pipe collars are installed around pipes and expand under heat, sealing off any openings. Similarly, wraps are applied around the pipes to achieve the same protective goal.

Incorporating these safety features is vital for ensuring that fire-rated barriers remain effective, helping your projects comply with fire safety regulations and enhancing overall building safety.

What are pipe collars & Wraps?

Intumescent pipe collars & wraps, a form of plastic penetration sealing, are made from high-performance materials. On exposure to heat, they rapidly constrict inwards, crushing the collapsing plastic pipe until the aperture is sealed. This effective passive fire protection system prevents the spread of smoke or flames throughout the property. They are suitable for various pipe types, including HDPE, PE, ABS, MDPE, and PVC. At Britannia Acoustic and Fire, we install pipe collars & wraps as a proven solution to halt the spread of fire.

What are Pipe collars & wraps made of?

Pipe collars & wraps are made from high-pressured graphite with the collars bonded to the inside of a steel powder-coated sleeve. Our team have vast experience in supplying and installing pipe collars & wraps for all building types to ensure your building, its occupants and staff are fully protected in the event of a fire.

How much protection do pipe collars & wraps provide?

If supplied and properly installed by specialists, pipe collars can provide up to 4 hours of fire and smoke protection, giving ample time for the building’s occupants to escape the building.

Why are pipe collars & wraps so important?

Here are some of the many reasons why the correct passive fire protection systems are so important:

  • Saves Lives
    The primary reason is life-saving. Systems like plastic penetration sealing effectively compartmentalise fire and smoke, enabling building occupants to evacuate through safe routes.
  • Limits Fire Spread
    While limiting the spread of is crucial to saving lives, passive fire protection measures are also proven to reduce building-wide damage by containing fire and smoke in one area. Compartmentalising a fire in this way will also increase the amount of time occupants have to act appropriately to the risk.
  • Protects Structure
    Fires can irreversibly damage structures and compromise their integrity. Implementing plastic penetration sealing solutions greatly protects a building against fire’s long-term effects.
  • Legal Regulations
    By law, a building should have effective fire protection measures in place in both residential and non-residential settings. The level of fire resistance required depends on the type of building, but a combination of passive and active fire protection systems should be in place to adhere to the law.
  • Saves Money
    Having the correct fire protection systems in place is crucial to saving money in the event of a fire. Although most properties are covered by insurance, if fire and smoke aren’t contained, they could do unavoidable damage to belongings and valuables that could be costly to replace.

What is a passive fire protection system?

Passive fire protection forms an integral component of any fire strategy. It comprises systems like plastic penetration sealing, pipe collars, cavity barriers, & fire curtains installed into a building’s structure. Their purpose is to protect lives and limit fire damage, working to compartmentalise fire and smoke spread without active or moving parts.
