Standards & Approvals
Standards & Approvals
The correct product is chosen by determining the outside diameter of the pipe. A QWW110/CE suits a 110mm outside diameter plastic pipe and a QWW50/CE suits a 50mm outside diameter plastic pipe for example.
The orange plastic sleeve is an integral part of the QWW Intuwrap so should not be removed. QWW Intuwraps have a self adhesive tap on one end which is used to secure the wrap around the pipe.
The QWW Intuwrap can be installed within concrete floors around plastic pipes to maintain the fire compartment.
A lot of extra work and associated cost can be avoided by early coordination and good communication between all trades. For example where the correct diameter hole is diamond drilled, no shuttering will be required and installation is very simple requiring a simple backfill on top of the Intuwrap.
Where holes are incorrectly drilled oversize or larger square holes are left or formed then the hole will need shuttering and the whole penetration backfilling with QF2 Fire Protection Compound.
There must be no gap around the Intuwrap and the Intuwrap must be fitted flush with the underside of the concrete slab or fire seal.
Full installation details and step by step instructions are available to show the options.
*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.

Product Info & Features
Product Information
| Property | Details |
|---|---|
| Composition |
The QWW Intuwraps consist of a high-performance graphite-based intumescent material within a polythene cover,
which reacts under heat to exert pressure on the pipe as it softens, forming a carbonaceous char.
This creates an effective insulation plug, preventing smoke and fire from passing through to adjoining compartments.
QWW Intuwraps are specifically manufactured to suit individual pipe diameters. The orange plastic sleeve is an integral part of the QWW Intuwrap and should not be removed. QWW Intuwraps include a self-adhesive tab on one end, used to secure the wrap around the pipe. |
| Durability | Tested to Type X durability, meaning the QWW Intuwraps can be installed in conditions exposed to weathering. |
