Description
Protecta FR Graphite Plate, part of the Protecta Firestopping range, is a preformed self-adhesive intumescent plate used to reinstate the fire resistance performance of flexible wall constructions for up to 120 minutes when punctured with plastic wall boxes. It is used where the walls have been provided with apertures for the penetration of conduits and cables into socket boxes, on one or both sides of the wall.
The graphite plate immediately reacts to fire through the heat and automatically expands and fills up the box, preventing fire from passing through. Fitting Protecta FR Graphite Plate will reinstate the fire resistance performance of flexible wall constructions for up to 120 minutes, also preventing the passage of fire through the electrical conduits between socket boxes.

Application Instructions
Minimum separations and limitations: Socket boxes can be fitted back to back or side by side – one fitted to each face. Minimum separation between socket boxes on one side of the wall should be at least 30 mm.
Supporting constructions: Flexible walls must have a minimum thickness of 75 mm and comprise steel studs or timber studs*** lined on both faces with minimum 1 layer of 12.5 mm thick boards. The supporting construction must be classified in accordance with EN 13501-2 for the required fire resistance period.
***Timber studs: no part of the penetration seal may be closer than 100 mm to a stud, and minimum 100 mm of insulation of class A1 or A2 according to EN 13501-1 must be provided within the cavity between the penetration seal and the stud.
Installation
- Wall boxes should be installed according to the Manufacturer’s Instructions.
- The aperture around the wall box should be as tightly fitting as possible and any gaps filled with plaster filler.
- Before installing Protecta FR Graphite Plate ensure that the surfaces are clean and sound, free from dirt, grease and other contamination.
- Remove the backing paper from the back of the pad.
- Fit into place inside at the base of the socket box.
- The pad must not obstruct cable entry.
