Protecta FR Damper

Protecta^® FR Damper is used to fire proof ventilation ducts which penetrate fire rated constructions such as fire compartments and fire walls; preventing the passage of fire and smoke (surrounding and inside the ventilation duct).

The product consists of a steel casing and contains horizontal steel blades, treated with a technically advanced heat expanding graphite which closes off the whole damper in a fire. The aperture surrounding the dampers are fire sealed with Protecta fire stopping products.

The damper can be installed in the fire seal and the ventilation ducting attached, or the damper can be connected to the ducting and then fire sealed.

The aperture where the ducts pass through can include one or multiple ventilation ducts. One can also pass through other technical services such as cables, cable trays and pipes within the same aperture.

Available in the following sizes: Ø63, Ø80, Ø100, Ø125, Ø160, Ø200, Ø250, Ø315, Ø400, Ø500, Ø630, Ø800, Ø1000 and Ø1250.

Specification

- Maintenance-free and no electrical connections necessary.
- The same damper can be installed in drywalls, masonry and concrete walls, timber walls, concrete floors and timber floors.
- An aperture can include several dampers and in addition, technical services such as cables, cable trays and pipes.
