TOP FIX - Concrete Soffit / Timber |
 |
NOTE
Fix galvanised stud section at 250mm centres. Cut Phoenix to required length allowing for any penetration management and 100mm fixing overlap at both the top and bottom (see notes on penetration management.
Fold along the top 100mm overlap and lift into position. Secure with screws into the stud section. |
Align next barrier length as above and seam. When seamed fix 25mm x 25mm x 0.5mm galvanised angle onto stud along the barrier to complete the top fix at 250mm centres with a suitable self drilling screw. All perimeter galvanised angle fittins should be continuous. |
BOTTOM FIX
Fixing to a Fire Wall |
 |
Note:
At the bottom allow a 100mm overlap.
Fix using a 25mm x 25mm x 0.5mm galvanised angle secured at 250mm centres |
| Fixing to a Suspended Ceiling |
Note:
Use suitable screw fastenings to secure at 300mm centres
Ensure 100mm overlap onto the ceiling grid. |
 |
SEAMING
Double Fold Method |
 |
Note:
Bring the two fabrics together and staple at 500mm centres (8mm staples) as Fig.1.
The seam is returned back on itself 25mm to give a continuous seal down the joint.
A second fix of staples at 100mm centres give the required level of security as Fig.2. |
Note:
Ensuring a 100mm overlap, trap PHOENIX using 25mm x 25mm x 0.5mm galvanised angle against the side of the wall using suitable fasteners for dite conditions at 250mm centres.
The galvanised angle must be continuous from the top fix to the bottom fix. |
 |
| PENETRATION MANAGEMENT/FIREFLY COLLAR |
Note:
Cut a slot and feather circle into the barrier, 50mm below the centre line of the penetration. Feed Barrier around penetration. Pull the edges of the slot together and seal using the double fold method - as used for the vertical seam. Pleat the uncut side by 50mm, stapling at 200mm centres using 8mm staples. | | Note:
Wrap the Collar around the penetration and staple (8mm) the edges together tightly at 100mm centres. Using 2 x 6mm beads of FLY High Temperature Adhesive attach the flange to the barrier. Seal any visible gaps with the Adhesive. Staple flange to the pleat and joint using a single staple for each. |
