A length of Aluminium Foil Repair Tape is provided with each sleeve within the price quoted for use during fitting

The FF109 Vent Duct Fire Sleeve Low Profiles (VDS LPs) are a family of CE Marked fire penetration seals designed to firestop PVC ventilation ducts/pipes when installed through fire rated constructions.

The unique vacuum formed intumescent material design ensures that the expansion direction of the material crushes and seals the ducting in a fire situation without the need for any additional support or metal sleeving.

The lack of metal sleeving, not only makes installation easy, it also limits the risk of heat transfer through the structure as well as allowing compression to ensure a tight seal against fire and smoke or tight fitting against the ceiling soffit where needed.

The Fire Sleeves provide fire resistance ratings for Integrity (E) and Insulation (I) for up to EI120 minutes depending on the construction.

Fire Tested for both internal and external wall constructions. The Fire Sleeves are CE Marked with a European Technical Approval (ETA) based on extensive fire testing to BS EN 1366-3.

Examples of Applications & Approvals

See the data sheet (available to download from the data sheet tab above) for installation variations and diagrams for dry wall and rigid wall, fire batts and ducts from 30 minutes up to 120 minutes.

General Fitting Instructions

1. 1. If using a hole cutter for circular holes, ensure that the correct fire sleeve wall thickness (15mm + 15mm) 30mm total is added to the diameter of the pipe, this equals the aperture size. Cut the hole through the substrate using the correct blade, in the required location.
   2. If cutting without a hole cutter, using a pencil, draw around the fire sleeve at the required position of the aperture, ensure a tightly marked line. Use this line to cut the aperture through the substrate, using the required equipment as appropriate.
2. Unless the sleeve can be slid down the length of pipe/vent/duct to the aperture, carefully cut along the length of the fire sleeve, using a sharp knife or scissors, on a rectangular duct/vent cut centrally to one of the sides, place the sleeve around the pipe/duct/vent close to the aperture, and apply foil tape over the joint, where the sleeve was cut.
3. Push gently on the sleeve to pass it through the wall, if the sleeve covering starts to tear or if excessive resistance is felt, pull the sleeve back and trim the aperture. The sleeve should be pushed into the required position, ensuring that the required length of sleeve protrudes on either side of the wall.
4. If required for the purpose of smoke and draft stop, air or water tightness and airborne sound insulation, the gap between opening edge and fire sleeve may be sealed off by a suitable acrylic intumescent mastic construction sealant approved for penetration sealing applications.
