Hi Mindaugas, thank you for your feedback. We have just uploaded a compound video, you can find it here: th-cam.com/video/GPiifbRUyDI/w-d-xo.html. We hope this helps!
Hi Alec, this is a fantastic range, well done. Could you please give me a bit more detail about the gas pipe passing through a sleeve. it looks like QB-FW100-D-12. I have seen similar, with copper pipes passing through another copper sleeve. i never got an answer as to the reason for the sleeve and need for the gap between 2x pipes. also, is there no need for a HPE or wrap? as the yellow gas pipe would surely not be sealed off by acrylic seal alone? many thanks
Hello, thank you for your comment. We believe the "reason" for sleeve is due to a gas regulation or could also be due to concerns about movement and potential chaffing of the pipe on the substrate. From our perspective, we test fire stop solutions for scenarios that arise in real life and this is how the pipes can be installed. See also: quelfire.co.uk/knowledge-advice/does-tracpipe-need-to-be-sleeved/. On detail QB-FW100-D-12 quelfire.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/QB-FW100-D-12-Trac-Pipe-penetrating-a-flexible-or-rigid-wall-HPE.pdf you will note that a 20mm annulus of QuelStop HPE Sealant is required around the sleeve. The QuelStop Intumescent Acrylic Sealant is used to seal the gap between the sleeve and the pipe on one side of the wall only in this case. If you have any further technical questions please send a detailed question to technical@quelfire.co.uk where one of the team will be glad to support further. Thank you.
Hello Thomas, thank you for your comment. We have a number of trunking details - some standard details and also some future details. Please contact our technical team regarding your application at technical@quelfire.co.uk
Hello Alec, excellent video and fantastic range of products. Can you tell me if there are any tests conducted on plastic concertina pipes, the type normally witnessed from the back of a tumble drier or bathroom/kitchen extraction fan system; would a fire collar be suitable - pipe diameter is approx 110mm.
Thanks for your feedback. We don't know of any tests carried out on the material you describe. Because the material is so thin and combustible, it is likely that it would burn quicker than the intumescent can react resulting in an integrity failure. It is always worth checking whether these ducts are actually penetrating a fire compartment wall initially. For more technical questions please send in specific details to our technical team using technical@quelfire.co.uk
Great video Alec, thank you
Thank you for watching
Great stuff! All of the metal pipes need to be wrapped with insulation? Why not for those metal cables on cable tray 8:20?
Amazing as always!
What about compound? Any showcase videos on that? Thanks in advance.
I will be doing a walk through of our floor application demo boards soon

what EI rating do you achieve on the trunking?
