SPECIFICATIONS FOR FIRE RATED GI DUCT WORKS

The fire rated ductwork specified should be tested to B.S. 476 Part 24 (Duct A & Duct B)
and Australia Standard A.S. 1530.4 (Duct A & Duct B) as mentioned in UBBL 1984 and
A.S. 1668.1998 for 120 minutes (2-Hours) stability, integrity and insulation respectively.

The duct manufactured shall be single skin in construction having total thickness not more
than 2mm thick including intumescent coating as tested. The construction of ductwork shall
be rectangular, flat oval or round in shape to reduce the limited height and weight of the
duct. All duct work construction should be constructed in accordance to SMACNA Duct
Construction Standard from Galvanized sheet meet coated with a layer of intumescent
coating of not less than 600 microns similar to WinDuct® or equivalent.

The specified material, WinDuct® or equivalent should have the following technical data.

5 Method of application Roller or brush or spray

Installation / Workmanship

The ductwork should be fabricated / constructed based on SMACNA Duct Construction

Standard (static of 250 pa – 1000 pa). Any transformation or reducer shall be use the
thickness of the larger dimension of the duct section, in the event that the duct works are
accessible after the installation, the ductwork shall be immediate apply intumescent fire
rated coating. All surface of the fabricated ductwork shall be clean from all stain, oil and
glue etc before applying the coating by hand brusher or roller to the required minimum
thickness of fire rated coating as recommended by the manufacturer.

Quality Check (QAQC)

All finished ductwork shall be checked visually to ensure that they are fully completed
together with all TDC joint and clip in place and coated.

All coating shall be verified and checked by the system manufacture representative with
“Elcometer – Digital Gauge” to ensure the thickness as recommended are met or within
the recommended thickness as specified in their test reports. Any damage or insufficient
thickness are then re-apply to the surface to achieve the require thickness. All repairing
shall be done on dry surface (at least 12 hours duration).

Adequate storage are to be provided for the coating to maintain free of damage and in
conditions suitable as required and deliver to site until components can be immediately
unloaded into adequate storage or site with proper protection.
