Metacaulk Pipe Collars

Metacaulk Pipe Collars are prefabricated firestop devices designed for open and closed through-penetration firestop systems using 1-1/2 to 6 inch (38–152 mm) plastic pipes. They provide dependable fire protection by helping seal plastic pipe penetrations and limit the spread of flames, smoke, and heat through fire-rated assemblies.

Featuring an easy lock mechanism and an efficient collar design, Metacaulk Pipe Collars simplify installation while reducing labor time and costs compared to traditional collar systems. They are designed for use with approved plastic pipe applications in fire-rated walls and floors.
