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 reliable fire protection by sealing plastic pipe penetrations in fire-rated assemblies and helping prevent the spread of flames, smoke, and heat.

Designed for both closed and vented (DWV) pipe conditions, Metacaulk Pipe Collars feature an easy lock mechanism for fast installation. The efficient collar design helps reduce installation time and labor costs compared to traditional firestop collar systems.

Cost-Effective Solution

The collar system eliminates material measurement and helps reduce installation costs while providing dependable firestop protection.

How to Use

Surface Preparation

• Ensure the pipe penetration area is clean and free from dust, debris, and loose materials.

• Verify pipe size, material, and assembly requirements match the approved firestop system.

• Confirm compatibility with the rated wall or floor assembly.

Application Instructions

1. Select the correct Metacaulk Pipe Collar size for the pipe diameter.

2. Install the collar around the plastic pipe penetration.

3. Secure the collar using the integrated locking mechanism.

4. Verify the collar is properly positioned according to the tested firestop system.

5. Confirm the installation meets applicable firestop requirements.

Important Notes

• Install only according to tested and approved firestop systems.

• Follow manufacturer installation instructions and applicable building codes.

• Not intended for environments with long-term exposure to rainfall or saltwater spray.

• Verify compatibility with the specific pipe type and rated assembly.
