Protecta launChes
new serviCe transit
the idea behind the new proteCta serviCe transit is that
after installation, cables and pipes can easily be inserted through
a fire barrier without having to install a new fire seal. It is designed
to maintain the fire resistance of walls and floors when there is
a breach of continuous cables. This is Ideal for situations where
it will be difficult to install or replace a normal fire seal at a later
stage in the building construction.
The Service Transit consists of a circular high temperature plastic
tube containing a graphite based intumescent lining material that
expands upon heating to seal spaces or voids around cables and
pipes, thus preventing the passage of flames, smoke and gases. It is
available in three different lengths, 150mm, 250mm and 400mm
and the selection of which to use depends on the thickness of the
supporting construction and the required fire classification.
Products like this Service Transit are quite popular and are usually
added to normal fire seals to make the building safe. It also
provides some peace of mind for property owners as it reduces
concerns about later services being properly fire sealed and the
associated costs. In the long run this saves time and money.
What is unique about the Protecta Service Transit is its patented
fast expanding graphite with a fire classification of up to 240
minutes for both integrity and insulation. It holds a full European
Technical Assessment ETA/17/0695 and is certified for PVC-U,
PVC-C, PE, LDPE, MDPE, HDPE, ABS, SAN+PVC and PP pipes plus
many different kinds of cables up to a certain diameter.
