FIRE TRANSITS FOR PIPEWORK IN HOLLOW WALLS Provide fire transits for hollow walls (e.g. stud partitions or hollow block walls) such that pipes can pass through the wall without interfering with the walls fire integrity. Fire transits shall comprise corrosion resistant split shell with hinge and closure device and with an internal lining of intumescent material plus facility to securely fix the shell to the wall structure. Utilise on both through insulated and un-insulated pipes, but on un-insulated pipes include a compressible foam gasket that will allow the pipe to move without breaking the seal or making any noise. Fire transits shall be 2 hour rated and applied to all pipes. To be manufactured to BS 476 part 20, AS 1530.4, AS 4072.1 and prEN1366.3 and installed in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.

Mastic shall comply with BS 476 part 20, prEN 1366.3, AS1530.4, AS 4072.1 and SABS 0177 part 2 and provide a 2 hour fire resistance. FIRE STOPS AROUND PLASTIC SOIL + VENT PIPES Refer to 2.2.4 and 2.2.5. FIRE STOPS AROUND PLASTIC PRESSURE PIPELINES Provide engineered intumescent multiple wrap or collar that will be able to exert sufficient force to crush the pressure pipe in the event of a fire. Provide certification to demonstrate solution is adequate. DENSE MINERAL INFILL BATS The provision of dense fire rated boards is permitted as a method of infilling around services that pass through fire walls. Boards/ batts shall be pre-coated with a fire resistant coating and shall be cut to size on site. All joints shall be closed with fire rated mastic and finally a fire resistant coating shall be applied. Services shall be supported in a manner so that in the event of a fire the collapse of the services in the fire zone will not pull the boards out of the wall aperture. Infills shall be designed to provide a two hour fire rating, shall comply with BS 476, part 20 and shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.
