Product Information

Composition

The QWX Large Diameter Fire Collars consist of a continuous pressed stainless steel flexible shell containing high performance graphite based intumescent material which reacts under the influence of heat to exert pressure on the pipe as it softens to form a carbonaceous char which provides an effective insulation plug thus preventing smoke and fire passing through to the adjoining compartment. The QWX Fire Collar has built in fixing lugs which are used to secure it to the structure.

QWX Fire Collars are suitable for use on concrete floors and concrete/masonry walls with HDPE and U-PVC plastic pipes providing up to 4 hours integrity. 

Standards & Approvals

Application / Installation

QWX Large Diameter Fire Collars should be used where a large diameter plastic pipe penetrates a fire rated wall or floor.

For vertical pipework, one unit should be installed to the underside of the floor, and for the QWX350 and QWX400 one unit should be fitted on both sides of the concrete floor. Holes through the substrate should be drilled as close as possible to the diameter of the plastic pipe. For horizontal pipework one unit should be fitted to each side of the wall.
