Innovation: |
Firestop Devices for Plastic Drainage Piping-1992 NOVA Award Winner |
|
||
|
Year: |
1992 |
|||
|
Description: |
Because plastic pipe is combustible, its use for plumbing
stacks reduces the fire integrity of fire rated walls and floors. ProSet
Systems' fire stop devices prevent the spread of fire and smoke throuhg
combustible plastic drainage piping when it passes through fire rated
barriers. The products were invented by Mr. Ken Cornwall, a former plumbing
contractor. He holds the patent rights. The fire stop devices were
specifically designeed with the plumber in mind. The products are actually
plumbing fittings themselves which makes them very simple and inexpensive to
install. The firestop devices have been tested at Underwriters Laboratory in
accordance with ASTM E-814 test standard for penetrations and are accepted by
all major building codes. The systems can be applied in either concrete or
wood structures. |
