Installation

The pillows can be used to seal an opening in a floor or wall to a maximum width or height of 400mm by any practical length. The sealing of the pillows is achieved by ‘pillow pressure’ and the use of fire resistant mastic to fill in void s around various pipes, cables and penetrations. The pillows should be stacked tightly in the direction of the least span (up to 400mm) and restrained on the sides by wall section or pillows.

Working from one side of the opening additional pillows should be stacked in the same direction and packed in tightly against the sides of the pillows already installed.

The appropriate sized pillow should be packed around various pipes, cables and penetrating elements, then fire rated sealant used to a depth of 25mm to seal any gaps or voids around the pillows or penetrating elements .

The method of stacking the pillows can vary depending on the shape and dimensions of the various elements that are penetrating the wall or floors.
