Under the building code NCC, a Deemed to Satisfy (DTS) solution is one that satisfies the performance requirements set out in section C of volume one. Section C specifically deals with the fire protection of openings in fire barriers (i.e. service penetrations in fire rated walls and floors).

Section C3.15 – Openings for Service Installations

Where any service penetrates an internal fire barrier that has a set Fire Resistance Level (FRL) with respect to integrity and insulation, the installation must comply with the following:

a) A Fire Tested System – An identical prototype, installed in the same wall or floor system that has beentested/approved to the fire testing standard AS1530.4 and AS4072.1 which has achieved an FRL of equal to orgreater than that required by the fire barrier.

For example, if the site has a -/90/90 plasterboard wall system with an electrical cable penetration, the product used to seal the cables must have been fire tested at an approved laboratory WITH electrical cables IN the same wall type AND fire tested for at least 90 minutes without failing the integrity or insulation criteria.

ComplianceOverview

Fire Assessment Reports

Fire testing is a timely and expensive process, and it is

impossible to test every single possible service configuration

‘identically’ in a practical sense.

Under the building code C3.15(a)(i)(B) a testing authority is

permitted to write a formal assessment confirming the fire

performance (FRL) of the penetration. The guidelines for

what can and can’t be included in a formal assessment are

outlined in AS4072.1.

Our FyreFLEX fire assessment report FCO 1579 is written by

expert Fire Engineers from a NATA approved laboratory

which provides evidence of compliance under the NCC. The

report summaries the decades of fire test data for FyreFLEX

Sealant, and allows for a large range of practical

applications. Trafalgar products installed in a plasterboard wall, being fire tested at the CSIRO

Approvals update Trafalgar are proud to announce that our latest update of report FCO 1579 for FyreFLEX Sealant will now include greater cable and metal pipe penetration coverage in Hebel and SPEEDPANEL walls, as well as our new TWrap insulation wrap systems.

TWrap is a 25mm thick foil blanket that can be used to wrap around service penetrations to insulate the penetration for up to 3 hours (-/180/180) and replaces the FyreWRAP 450mm insulation system. See page 22 for more information.

FYREFLEX AND INSULATION PERFORMANCE:

FyreFLEX sealant can achieve an FRL up to -/240/120 on small bundles of cables in

certain fire barriers, however larger cables and metallic pipes will reduce the

insulation rating (i.e. increase in heat rise) under fire conditions. When this occurs,

TWrap is required to be wrapped around the services for a certain length to achieve

better insulation performance. For more information, refer to page 22 of this

document or call the Trafalgar Technical team on 1800 888 714.

APPLICATION:

• Plumbing: Copper and steel pipework

• Electrical: Power cable bundles or trays

• Comms: Data cables bundles or trays

• Fire: TPS fire cables and steel sprinkler pipes

• Builders: Control and expansion joints

FEATURES: • NCC 2022 ready - Tested and approved in

accordance with AS1530.4-2014 and AS4072.1

• Non-toxic

• Water based allowing easy clean-up.

• Excellent adhesion properties

• Tested and compliant in single layer

plasterboard, Hebel and SPEEDPANEL walls and

FyreBOARD Maxilite

• Approved for use in both walls and floors

FyreFLEX Sealant is a water based, low VOC and environmentally friendly fire-rated sealant with

intumescent properties which makes it perfect for fire stopping cable and metal pipe penetrations through

fire rated barriers.

FyreFLEX is the one of the most fire tested sealants in the market with more than 30 fire and acoustic

tests, and assessments spanning over 30 years. FyreFLEX has been approved for use in a large range of

control joint or firestopping applications required under the National Construction Code (NCC).

SEALANT APPLICATION: Install FyreFLEX in accordance to installation details provided in the tables on pages 7 to 13 for the service and fire barrier specific approved systems.

1. Surfaces to be sealed must be clean, dry and free from dust, dirt, grease and other contamination.

2. Cut both the cartridge tip and applicator nozzle to the required diameter and angle, screw nozzle onto

cartridge.

3. To achieve a clean finish, apply masking tape either side of the penetration to prevent sealant exuding onto

unwanted areas.

4. Apply sealant with applicator gun ensuring good surface contact is achieved by forcing sealant into the

opening to be sealed. Ensure that the correct depth of sealant is applied as required for the specific

installation - refer to tables on pages 6 to 21. Backing rod can be used to achieve the correct depth if required

(PE or other material).

5. Finish with a fillet or ‘cove’ of FyreFLEX sealant to the perimeter of the service – refer to tables below for

appropriate fillet sizes per penetration.

6. If necessary, tool within 5 minutes of application using a spatula dipped in soapy water, applying sufficient

pressure to ensure good contact of the sealant against the joint surfaces.

7. Remove masking tape. After use wash any tools in warm water and wash hands after use.

NOTE: TWrap may can be used to achieve higher insulation values – refer to pages 22-23 or contact Trafalgar for further information.

Order & Install Specifications




General installation notes

1. Separation distances between FyreFLEX penetrationsCable and pipe penetrations that have been sealed with FyreFLEX sealant can be installed as close as 50mm apart, as measured from the edge of each aperture as shown (approved via assessment, reference FCO 1579c).

2. Measuring annular gaps and fill depths

This product manual refers to annular gaps as the space between the edge of the penetration and the closest edge of the service. It can be calculated simply as follows:

𝐴𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝐺𝑎𝑝 =𝑂𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟 − 𝑃𝑖𝑝𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟

2

Filling FyreFLEX Sealant to the right depth is important to maintain performance of the system, and miminise overuse of material. Trafalgar recommends the use of foam backing rod (combustible or otherwise) to set the right depth of sealant.

TWRAP INSTALLATION FOR INCREASED INSULATION PERFORMANCE

TWrap is a 25mm fully encapsulated wrap that can be applied to service penetration treated with FyreFLEX

sealant to increase the insulation performance which reduces the temperature rise on the service during fire

conditions.

For example, if a 150mm steel pipe was sealed in a concrete floor that requires 2-hour FRL, the addition of

TWrap will increase the FRL from -/120/- to -/120/120 when wrapped for 600mm off the slab.

TWrap must be installed on both sides of a wall penetration and is tested on the top side only for floor

penetrations and is fixed around services simply with 4.6mm wide steel cable ties or straps 50mm from each

end, and then at 150mm centres between.

FyreWrap 38mm may be substituted for TWrap when installed at the correct lengths specified in the above

service specific tables.

TWRAP INSTALLATION FOR METAL PIPES

TWrap Installation




1. Cable TraysBefore wrapping, cable trays require loose TWrap infill material to be packed around the cables and into any voids between the cable tray and the services as shown below. Note this is NOT required for wrapping individual bundles of cables.

2. Cable bundles

Some smaller bundles of cables won’t need any TWrap at all – look for the Wrap Free notes in the tables above.

The ones that do need TWrap can be simply wrapped with TWrap for the correct length and strapped in place with 4.6mm cable ties 50mm from each end, and at 150mm centres between them.

FYREFLEX® Sealant FYREPEX® Sealant FYRECHOKE™ Collars

Trafalgar FYREPEX® HP Sealant is a new intumescent based sealant that expands with the heat of a fire, which

enables it to be used with plastic (PEX), or insulated copper piping. As the sealant expands, it actively crushes the

pipe to block off the penetration for up 2 hours during a fire.

Trafalgar FYREFLEX® Sealant is an acrylic based sealant that has been around for decades and is a tried and true

method of fire stopping bare metal pipes and cables, through a variety of different wall and floor types - nothing

has changed with this product.

Choosing the right product for your application will largely depend on the penetrating services. As a general guide,
