Steel, Copper and Plastic Pipes are found in all domestic and commercial buildings. A large percentage of these pipes penetrate fire rated constructions such as walls, floors and ceilings.

Once a hole is made in the construction for the passage of pipes/services, the integrity of the construction and it's ability to prevent the spread of fire are immediately compromised.


To combat this TENMAT, as part of its continuing development of passive fire protection solutions, has developed the FIREFLY 109 Pipe Fire Sleeve which reinstates the fire rating of the construction and prevents fire spread from one compartment to another.

The FIREFLY 109 Pipe Fire Sleeve is a novel and cost effective product for the fire stopping of pipe penetrations e.g. plumbing pipe and metallic pipes whilst


maintaining similar thermal and acoustic properties as standard mineral fibre insulation. These properties ensure compliance to Water Bye-laws and Building Regulations for cold and hot water pipes and heating systems.

The FIREFLY 109 Pipe Fire 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 without the need for mortar, mastic or support.

In a fire situation the sleeve expands to fill the available space between the pipe and the penetration. In the case of plastic pipes the sleeve will crush and close off the pipe forming a solid char and preventing the passage of fire and smoke to the adjacent compartment.
