What happens in a Fire Situation?
When exposed to the heat of a fire, the intumescent material contained in Abesco SS series and Z series Pipe Collars expands and exerts a high pressure on the melting plastic pipe, causing the opening to be closed off and thus preventing the spread of fire from one compartment to another.
