Notes:
1. LPCB Ref. No’s 1345a/01, 1345a/02, 1345a/03 and 1345a/04 - Uninsulated and Insulated Ductwork systems to be manufactured and installed to the specifications as detailed in Report no 335274 Issue 2 dated 15 July 2014.
2. LPCB Ref. No 1345a/02 Mineral wool specification: Rockwool FirePro Duct Slab with a nominal density of 160kg/m3. The boards of maximum size 2000mm x 1200mm, have thicknesses of 25, 30, 40, 50, 70 and 90mm.
3. LPCB LPCB Ref. No 1345a/03 Mineral wool specification: Rockwool RW5 Slab, 50mm thick and 100 kg/m3 nominal density.
4. LPCB LPCB Ref. No 1345a/04 Mineral wool specification: Rockwool Marine Firebatt 2000, 100mm (2 x 50mm) thick and 100 kg/m3 nominal density.
5. LPCB Ref. No’s 1345a/01- covers rectangular and circular ductwork up to 3000mm wide x 3000mm high, reference Firesafe Tables 1 to 4 and circular ductwork up to 1250mm diameter Table 9. The Firesafe systems may also be employed as attenuator casings as defined in Assessment Report no.335274 Issue 2 dated 15 July 2014 however the LPCB approval does not cover the attenuator itself.
6. LPCB Ref. No’s 1345a/02 - maximum size of steel duct without extra support to insulation for rectangular and circular insulated ductwork when insulation material thick 25mm, 30mm, 90mm is up to 1000mm x 1000mm, when insulation material thick 70mm - up to 1200mm x 1200mm and when insulation material thick 40mm, 50mm, 70mm - 1500mm x 1500mm. Where insulation is required for circular ducts, Firepro Duct Slab is fitted around the duct as a square box in the same manner as for rectangular ducts. On horizontal ducts additional hangers are fitted at 1510mm maximum centres. Where the diameter of the steel duct exceeds 610mm then studwelded pins and washers must be fitted at the mid-width of the board in the same manner as for rectangular ducts.
7. LPCB Ref. No’s 1345a/03 1345a/04 - covers rectangular and circular insulated ductwork up to 1000mm x 1000mm.
8. LPCB Ref. No’s 1345a/01, 1345a/02, 1345a/03 and 1345a/04 - Details of the modified penetration seal system, where the duct passes through fire compartment walls or floors, are shown in Firesafe drawings no’s. CF213A, CF311B & CF312. The parts of the steel collars are bolted together instead of welded and that, for insulated ducts, a gasket of ceramic tape 100mm wide x 3mm thick is fitted between the collar and the duct wall on all four sides of the duct.
9. LPCB Ref. No’s 1345a/01, 1345a/02, 1345a/03 and 1345a/04 - thin film paint finishes may be applied to the outside of the steel ductwork. The foil facing of insulated ducts may also be painted provided that the paint is water based. The paint finish must comply with the reaction to fire requirements for the building in which the ductwork is being installed.
10. LPCB Ref. LPCB Ref. No’s 1345a/01, 1345a/02, 1345a/03 and 1345a/04 - an assessment report No 335274 covers systems manufactured from galvanised steel, mild steel and stainless steel and ducts over 3m longest side (in panel construction).
