Computer room fire block pillows...
|
|
| Dave L. 2005-10-19, 9:21 pm |
| I've got several raised floor computer rooms where I service the AC. As time
goes on, more holes are cut for cables and such and the air flow becomes
unbalanced.
I remember seeing those blue pillows filled with some fire-resistant material
and they would be used to block up the holes after one on two phone wires were
run through.
Where can I buy those pillows?
Searching the 'net nets nothing.
I'm in Toronto Canada, but shipping shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks guys,
Dave L.

| Maybe you mean the fire stop stuff, similar to the fire caulk. These
things will expand and completely block off the holes when they get
hot. Try 3M.
The also had the fire stop donuts that were collars filled with the
similar compund.

| No, I can't use permanent fire stop stuff. The pillows are about 10" square and
can be lifted aside to run new cables. They get shuffled about quite often. They
feel like they're filled with some sort of coarse insulation. Feels like cotton
on the outside.
I guess they're not that common anymore. ?

Ya know, I myself recall seeing asbestos type fire blankets covering t-bar
ceiling diffusers, dont think they were blue though.

Does your client have an FM 200 system installed?

Don't know who your local suppliers would be - but A google search for
"intumescent fire pillows" started with
http://www.astroflame.com/intumescent_pillows.html- so you shouldn't have
too much trouble finding something. Don't forget to use an intumescent
mastic sealant from a tube (don't ever use expanding foam sealants) and an
acrylic wrap to retain the rooms vapour seal.
If you wish, I've got a PPS on equipment selection and siting for these
rooms.
Regards,
Ian
