Metacaulk Pipe Collars

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

Featuring an easy lock mechanism and a labor-saving collar design, Metacaulk Pipe Collars simplify installation while reducing installation time and costs compared to traditional collar systems. They are suitable for use with closed and vented (DWV) plastic pipe conditions in approved fire-rated floor and wall assemblies.

Key Benefits

Reliable Fire Protection

Metacaulk Pipe Collars expand when exposed to fire to help seal plastic pipe penetrations and maintain the integrity of fire-rated assemblies.

Fast Installation

The prefabricated collar design and easy lock mechanism simplify installation and help reduce labor time.

Versatile Compatibility

Designed for use with multiple plastic pipe materials, including PVC, CPVC, ABS, PVC/ABS Foam Core, FRPP, and PP.

Cost-Effective Solution

The collar system eliminates material measurement and helps reduce installation costs compared to traditional firestop methods.

How to Use

Surface Preparation

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

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

• Confirm compatibility with the selected rated wall or floor assembly.

Application Instructions

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

2. Install the collar around the plastic pipe penetration.

3. Secure the collar using the built-in locking mechanism.

4. Ensure proper attachment according to the tested firestop system requirements.

5. Verify installation meets applicable firestop standards.

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.
