Firetrap

The best fire rating available for the drainage stack

As part of the on-going development of Terrain drainage systems, we have developed a comprehensive range of passive fire protection products for use with Terrain PVC soil and waste, Terrain Fuze and Terrain Acoustic dB12. These products will enable secure specification of Terrain drainage systems with the confidence of conforming to the requirements of Part B Building Regulations. In addition all products comply with BS 476 Part 20 and BS EN 1366-3.

The Terrain Firetrap range comprises:

Terrain Firetrap Sleeves

  • Ideal for Terrain Fuze stacks
  • Up to 4 hour fire protection
  • Quick to install in new build and retro-fit
  • Protects compartment above and below slab

Terrain Firetrap Collars

  • Suitable for all Terrain drainage systems
  • Can be surface mounted or built in
  • Up to 4 hour fire protection

In addition, independent testing has been carried out on both Firetrap Sleeves and Firetrap Collars in typical floor installations, full details available on page 10 of the Terrain FireTrap brochure.

Firetrap Sleeves

Terrain Firetrap Sleeve was developed with ease of installation in mind. The sleeve can be quickly and simply fitted onto the pipe and slid into the penetration ensuring that there are no air gaps around the sleeves by filling with mortar or mastic. In a fire situation the sleeve expands to fill the available space (15mm max) between the pipe and the penetration and will crush and close off plastic drainage pipes. The pipe forms a solid char preventing the passage of fire and smoke to the adjacent compartment.
