Application Method/Tools

Firespan Intumescent Pads fit either internally, or externally on the back of electrical boxes. Remove the lining paper and second film from the pad. When using internally, fold the pad to the shape of the box first then press home firmly into the box working into the back and corners.

When using externally, fold the pad around the back and sides of the socket when in situ. Press the edges of the pad together to form a continuous seal around the box. Ensure edges are brought firmly together to ensure complete coverage.
