Fire Collar Installation
Fire collars for plastic pipe penetrations in walls and floors across commercial building projects.
When fire collars are required
Fire collars are typically installed where combustible plastic pipes pass through fire-rated walls or floors. During a fire the plastic pipe can soften or melt, creating an opening that allows fire and smoke to spread through the penetration.
Fire collars contain intumescent material that expands when exposed to heat. This expansion crushes the pipe and seals the opening to help maintain the fire performance of the wall or floor.

- • Waste and drainage pipes
- • Service risers and plant rooms
- • Bathroom and kitchen penetrations
- • Plastic pipework through fire-rated floors
How fire collars work
Fire collars contain intumescent material that expands during fire exposure and seals the opening created when the plastic pipe softens or melts.
Typical applications
Fire collars are commonly used around PVC and other combustible pipe penetrations in bathrooms, service risers, plant rooms and floor penetrations.
