4. Opsætning og installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of the STI FS200 Firestop Sleeve Kit:

1. Forbered åbningen: Create a circular opening in the fire-rated wall or floor. A 2.5-inch hole saw is recommended for optimal fit. For accurate alignment, predrill with a smaller bit before using the hole saw.
2. Insert the Sleeve: Position the 2-inch sleeve within the prepared opening. The sleeve should be centered within the barrier, extending an equal distance from both sides of the wall or floor.
3. Sikre komponenter: Place the gaskets and escutcheon plates onto the sleeve on both sides of the barrier. Secure them firmly using the provided hardware. Ensure a snug fit against the barrier surface.
4. Apply Firestop Putty: Use the provided firestop putty to seal any remaining annular space between the sleeve and the opening, and around any cables passing through the sleeve. Ensure a complete and tight seal to prevent the passage of smoke and fire.
5. Kabel installation: Route cables through the installed sleeve. Ensure that the cables do not exceed the fill capacity of the sleeve and that the firestop putty maintains its seal around all cables.

Vigtig bemærkning: This system is designed for new cable installations. Retrofitting existing penetrations may require different methods or additional firestop materials. Consult relevant firestop listings and local codes.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

The STI FS200 Firestop Sleeve Kit functions as a passive fire protection system. Once correctly installed, it operates continuously to maintain the fire resistance rating of the penetrated barrier. There are no active operational steps required for the sleeve itself.

Its primary function is to prevent the passage of flame, smoke, and hot gases through openings created for cables in fire-rated constructions.

6. Vedligeholdelse

To ensure the continued effectiveness of the firestop system, periodic inspection and maintenance are recommended:

• Regelmæssig inspektion: Visually inspect the firestop sleeve and the surrounding firestop material at regular intervals, or as required by local codes. Check for any signs of damage, degradation, or dislodgement.
• Seglintegritet: Verify that the firestop putty around the cables and between the sleeve and the barrier remains intact and provides a complete seal.
• Cable Modifications: If cables are added, removed, or modified, ensure that the firestop system is re-sealed according to the manufacturer's instructions and relevant firestop listings to maintain its fire rating.
• Damage Repair: Any damage to the sleeve or firestop material should be repaired immediately using approved STI firestop products and methods.

7. Fejlfinding

This section addresses common issues that may arise during or after installation:

• Issue: Sleeve not fitting correctly in the opening.
