Insulated Fire Sleeve | QIF

Description

The QIF insulated fire sleeve is designed to firestop combustible plastic and non-combustible metal pipes through walls and floors.

Suitable for 15 – 169mm diameter pipes, for plasterboard partitions, and concrete walls and floors, the QIF can be used alongside the QuelStop Fire Batt System to ensure effective compartmentation.

Requiring no additional sleeving or mechanical fixings makes the fire sleeve a simple and quick-to-install product. It is supplied in 300mm lengths that can be cut down to size and allows thermal movement of the pipe, while maintaining the thermal insulation.

In a fire scenario, the intumescent material of the insulated fire sleeve forms a robust carbonaceous char, closing any openings. The sleeve’s reinforced outer layer prevents the intumescent from expanding outwards, ensuring the pressure remains confined within the circular area.

Standards & Approvals

Tested to BS EN 1366-3, providing up to 4 hours fire resistance.

Application

The QIF Insulated Fire Sleeve can be used around both metal and plastic pipes.

QIF Insulated Fire Sleeve are suitable for use in concrete floors and various wall constructions including solid concrete masonry/block walls and flexible fire rated plasterboard partitions with and without QuelStop Fire Batt.

Fire ratings depend on the substrate and services so refer to the technical data and installation details for full details.

The QIF are primarily made from a mineral wool material, so they will provide a degree of thermal insulation and thermal movement to the pipe as it passes through the fire compartment, so no extra sleeves are required. Other pipe insulations can then be jointed onto the ends of the QIF once installed.

The QIF is approx. 25mm thick, so holes should be cut or drilled 50mm bigger than the Internal Diameter (ID) of the sleeve. Refer to the specification table below for full details.

Installation

The QIF should be installed centrally within the substrate and although can be cut down in length must be either flush or protruding with a minimum required length depending on a number of factors so refer to the relevant documentation before commencing installation.

A set of installation details and an installation guide is available, however, installation of the QIF Insulated Fire Sleeve is simple, requiring no mechanical fixings and can be retrofitted around the pipe or simply slid on to the end like a sleeve during pipe installation.

To retrofit, the sleeve must be first cut along its length with a sharp knife, it can then be opened up and fed around the pipe where it must be then wrapped tight again and sealed with the self-adhesive foil tape that is provided with the QIF.

Provided the hole in the substrate has been drilled accurately, the QIF Insulated Fire Sleeve can then be slid along the pipe into position, ensuring that the minimum protrusions where required on both sides are achieved, and then finally sealed in place with QuelStop Intumescent Acrylic Sealant.

    Product Info & Features

    Product Information
    Property Details
    Composition The QIF Insulated Fire Sleeve is supplied as a 300mm long sleeve and consists of a reinforced foil containing an insulating mineral fibre and graphite intumescent material. When exposed to heat, the intumescent material expands and exerts pressure on the penetration.
    Fire Performance For plastic pipes, as the material softens, the intumescent forms a carbonaceous char, crushing the melting pipe and forming a fire-resistant plug.
    When used around non-combustible metal pipes, the intumescent material chars around the pipe, preventing the passage of fire into the adjoining compartment.
    Features & Benefits
    • Tick Up to 4 hour fire rating
    • Tick Suitable for plasterboard partitions and concrete floors and walls
    • Tick Suitable for 15 to 160mm diameter pipes
    • Tick Can be retrofitted
    • Tick Type X durability
    • Tick Suitable for plastic pipes

    • Tick Suitable to use with Lubrizol® CPVC piping systems and materials, such as FlowGuard® pipe and fittings and BlazeMaster® fire sprinkler systems
    • Tick Maintains thermal insulation of the pipe
    • Tick Allows thermal movement of the pipe
    • Tick No additional sleeving required
    • Tick Simple and quick to install, no mechanical fixing required
    • Tick Supplied as a 300mm length and can be cut to length
