Astroflame's Socket Box Inserts
Astroflame's Socket Box Inserts are crafted from halogen-free, low-smoke, fire-resistant mineral fiber material to preserve the fire performance of partition walls penetrated by steel or plastic electrical back boxes. These inserts also offer resistance to sound and air movement. In the event of a fire, the mineral fiber material expands to block the passage of fire through the socket aperture, providing effective fire resistance and insulation from 30 to 120 minutes (EI30 to EI120), depending on wall construction.
Astroflame's Socket Box Inserts
Astroflame's Socket Box Inserts are engineered to enhance fire safety and maintain the integrity of partition (stud) wall constructions when penetrated by electrical back boxes. These inserts are an essential component in ensuring that walls with electrical installations continue to perform effectively under fire conditions, preserving both fire resistance and acoustic performance.
Construction and Features:
-
Material Composition: The Socket Box Inserts are manufactured from high-quality, halogen-free, low-smoke mineral fiber material. This construction not only meets stringent fire safety standards but also minimizes the emission of toxic smoke in the event of a fire, contributing to a safer environment.
-
Fire Resistance: Designed to provide robust fire protection, the inserts prevent the passage of fire through the aperture created by the electrical back boxes. The mineral fiber material expands when exposed to high temperatures, creating an effective barrier that blocks fire and smoke, ensuring the wall's fire integrity is maintained. The inserts offer fire resistance and insulation ratings ranging from 30 to 120 minutes (EI30 to EI120), depending on the wall construction and installation.
-
Acoustic and Air Movement Resistance: In addition to fire protection, the Socket Box Inserts provide resistance to sound transmission and air movement. This feature helps maintain the acoustic performance of the partition wall and prevents drafts or air leakage, contributing to a more controlled and comfortable indoor environment.
-
Design and Application: The inserts are designed to fit both steel and plastic electrical back boxes, making them versatile for various installations. They are particularly suited for use in commercial, residential, and industrial settings where fire-rated partition walls are required. The inserts are easy to install around existing electrical back boxes and integrate seamlessly with the surrounding wall structure.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Fire Safety: Provides a critical barrier against the spread of fire and smoke, ensuring that electrical penetrations do not compromise the wall's fire-resistance rating.
- Low Smoke Emission: Made from halogen-free materials, the inserts emit minimal smoke, reducing the risk of toxic smoke inhalation during a fire.
- Sound and Air Control: Maintains the acoustic properties of the wall and prevents air leakage, enhancing overall building performance.
- Durability and Reliability: Designed to offer long-lasting protection and performance, even in high-traffic or demanding environments.
Applications:
- Fire-Rated Partition Walls: Ideal for maintaining the fire resistance of walls with electrical socket penetrations.
- Commercial and Residential Buildings: Suitable for use in a variety of building types to ensure compliance with fire safety regulations.
- Industrial Settings: Provides effective fire protection in environments where stringent safety standards are required.
Installation:
Astroflame's Socket Box Inserts are designed for straightforward installation. They fit securely around existing electrical back boxes and should be used in conjunction with other fire-stopping measures as required by building codes and regulations.
The Astroflame Socket Box Inserts are a crucial element in maintaining the safety and functionality of fire-rated walls, offering reliable fire resistance, acoustic performance, and protection against air movement.
