One of the key strategies is <strong>fire compartmentation,<\/strong> which divides a building into separate fire-rated areas to limit the spread of fire and its effects. To achieve the fire compartmentation levels required by fire safety codes, <strong>all service penetrations must be properly sealed<\/strong>. This is where specific fire-resistant elements such as firestop collars come into play.   <\/p>\n<p>These devices are designed to seal openings created by pipe penetrations during a fire, maintaining a predetermined <strong>fire resistance rating<\/strong>. This firestop sealing system is essential because, as temperature increases, combustible pipes and insulation materials may deform or melt entirely.<br \/>A <strong>firestop collar<\/strong> consists of a stainless steel outer shell and an <strong>intumescent strip<\/strong> inside that expands in the event of fire, effectively sealing off the pipe penetration and preventing the passage of smoke and flames.  <\/p>\n<p>Depending on the required level of compartmentation, the type and size of the installation, and the available space, there are two types of firestop collars: pre-formed and continuous.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Firestop Collars:<a href=\"https:\/\/corh.it\/prodotti\/corh-ron-cn-collare-tagliafuoco\/\"> CORH RON CN<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/corh.it\/prodotti\/corh-ron-cn-50\/\">CORH RON CN 50<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pre-formed firestop collars are factory-shaped for <strong>quick and easy installation<\/strong>.
