Selecting PFP manufacturers that specialise in the systems passing through fire cell penetrations means designers can benefit from fully compatible solutions. These integrated systems improve the selection, design and installation aspects of both the plumbing and passive fire protection.

Selecting NZ made products provides a level of assurance that suppliers who use offshore production are unable to fulfil. Additionally, the economic benefits are retained in New Zealand and fed back into local communities.

Plumbing or electrical services that penetrate a CLT panel result in a hole in the fire cell for the service to pass through. The hole for the pipe or cables needs to have a PFP product applied to it to prevent the spread of fire beyond that fire cell.

This is a question that often gets asked. There are a number of options, and your product selection will depend on a few factors.

When designing a compliant level threshold system we have to cover off all the requirements of Chapter 7.3.2.1 of E2/AS1.
