Fire-stopping for cabling

The Abesco CT120 series cable transit fire-stopping devices make it simple for contractors to provide effective fire-stopping and ensure that their legal obligations are met in full. The devices are claimed to be simple to install, consisting of an easy-to-identify red casing and friction-fit mounting flanges. The system requires a simple three step process for installation - open, close and clamp to the penetration.

In fire conditions, the intumescent material, factory-fitted inside the casing, swells to fill the opening around the cables which run inside the casing. Removable foam plugs are also provided to allow for a neat finish and to provide an effective smoke seal.

They are all fully fire tested for periods in excess of two hours as required under the Building Code of Australia and are suitable for both new installation and retrofitting into existing installations. They are designed to allow quick and easy re-routing of cabling at no extra cost, an important design consideration for any designer.

The devices are available in round and square formats, the latter being able to be banked together in duplex, triplex and sixplex arrangements, to allow for large cable runs and to cater for future expansion which is inevitable, particularly with data cables.
