Firestop Components
VENTILATED FIRESTOP PLATE (1 & 2-PIECE ROUND AND 2-PIECE RECTANGULAR)
The ventilated fire stop plates are used in combination with standard ICS pipes where the
chimney passes through a combustible floor or ceiling. The outermost circle of ventilation slots
gives a distance to combustibles of 60mm. This measures the required distance for solid fuel
applications. For gas and oil applications a minimum of 50mm is required, which should be
measured on site. The fire stop plate should be positioned around the chimney and fastened
to the pre-cut plasterboard or to the timber frame with nails or screws using the location holes
provided (see Fig. 2 above).
NON-VENTILATED BUNGALOW FIRESTOP (1 & 2-PIECE ROUND AND 1-PIECE
RECTANGULAR)
Installed as per a ventilated firestop using the location holes provided (see Fig.4 above). Distance
to combustibles must be respected - see p.8 for further info.
SUPPORT PLATE WITH S/S CLAMP BAND (NON COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR)
The support plate is used where the chimney passes through a non combustible floor, and the
weight of the chimney has to be taken at floor level. The support plate must be firmly fixed to
the floor using bolts or screws provided by others. For load bearing Data refer to table on page
40.
FIRE STOP PLATE (NON COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR)
This fire stop plate is used exclusively where the chimney passes through a non combustible
floor. The two halves of the plate are located around the chimney section and fastened to the
