FAQs
What is the primary function of this fire stop grommet?
Its primary function is to seal openings where cables penetrate fire-rated walls and floors, helping to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
What is the size of the opening this grommet is designed for?
This grommet is designed for openings that are 25mm in diameter.
Do I need special tools for installation?
No, typically no special tools are required for installation. It is designed for a simple, push-fit or twist-fit application.
Can this grommet be used for any type of cable?
It is suitable for a variety of cable types, including data, power, and communication cables, provided they fit within the 25mm aperture and do not compromise the seal.
What is the weight of this product?
The product weighs approximately 0.200000 kilograms (0.2 KG).
How do I know if I need this product?
You need this product if you are passing cables through a fire-rated wall or floor assembly and need to maintain its fire resistance rating according to building codes and standards.
Is this a complete firestopping solution on its own?
This grommet is a component of a firestopping system. Its effectiveness is dependent on the overall assembly and installation within the rated structure. Always consult project specifications and relevant firestop standards.
Troubleshooting
Grommet does not fit snugly in the opening.
Verify the opening size is exactly 25mm. If the opening is slightly larger, consider using a different size grommet or additional firestopping sealant around the perimeter as per manufacturer guidelines.
Difficulty passing cables through the grommet.
Ensure the grommet is correctly oriented and that no internal obstructions are present. For multiple cables, ensure they are bundled neatly before passing through. If cables are too numerous or large for the 25mm opening, a larger grommet or alternative solution may be necessary.
Concerns about achieving a proper seal.
Ensure the edges of the opening and the grommet itself are clean. Push the grommet firmly into place. After cable installation, check that there are no gaps between the grommet and the cables, or the grommet and the wall/floor.
