Recessed fan and vent sleeves from Aico's Firecap CFS100 series have been designed to restore the fire ratings of ceilings penetrated by recessed ceiling fans and ventilation ducts. The sleeve restores fire integrity of 30 or 60-minute fire rated ceilings, and have been tested to BS476 Part 21. In a fire event, it expands internally to crush the spigot of the fan or vent.
Tested and rated for use with all ceiling types, Aico's range of Firecap intumescent fire protection covers for use with downlights meet Building Regulations requirements.
Heat from the lamp escapes through ventilation slots and in a fire event the material swells and seals completely against fire.
Extending its Firecap range of intumescent fire safety products, Aico has added four new fire sleeves.
Firecap electrical trunking fire sleeves prevent fire spreading through service penetrations made for electrical trunking up to 50 by 50mm and 100 by 100m, Firecap Pipe, Conduit and SWA Fire Sleeves are made for pipes and conduits up to 150mm, Firecap Cable Tray Fire Sleeves are for cable trays up to 150mm wide, and Firecap Ventilation Duct Fire Sleeves are for ventilation ducting in nine different sizes.
Meeting requirements of Building Standards, the sleeves are suitable for metal or pvc electrical plumbing products through fire partitions and floors, providing a two hour fire 'stop'. In their passive state they also provide a cold smoke seal.
