Standards & Approvals
Standards & Approvals
Quelfire Intumescent Fire Pillows can be used inside steel cable trunking up to 300x150mm where they penetrate fire compartment walls.
They are available in 3 different sizes allowing flexibility in choice to ensure that the trunking is fully sealed even with varying number of cables in them. The cables should not take up more than 60% of the available space inside the trunking and the Pillows should then be installed lengthways, centrally positioned within the wall or floor, filling the remaining space.
*Please note that custom made items can expect to have longer lead times. Next working day is typical but can depend on outside factors not controlled by Quelfire.
