General Fitting InstructionsFor detailed fitting instructions for various applications please contact TENMAT.TENMAT’s VFB Plus is a particularly versatile and extensively fire tested Ventilated Fire Barrierwhich can be installed in a wide range of construction types. The product is simply mechanicallyfixed in position to leave up to a maximum 44-54mm* air gap.Total Cavity SizeBrackets Supplied (per metre length)Up to 120mmNone (screw fixed)120-259mm2No. Multipurpose Brackets260-300mm3No. Multipurpose Brackets300-450mm2No. HP Brackets450-500mmContact TENMAT In cavities 120mm, directly screw fix VFB Plus. ** In cavities 120mm, fix VFB Plus with steel fixing brackets usingsuitable non-combustible fixings. Product must be fixed at max. 500mm centres. The brackets should impale the VFB at mid barrier depth. Cut the bracket down to size if required. Cut the barrier down to length if required. Each section of VFB Plus greater than 250mm, must be mechanicallyfixed with 2no. Brackets; if VFB Plus section is 250mm or less than,only 1no. Bracket is required. The bracket should not protrude through the rigid intumescentelement, but should penetrate the barrier to approx. threequartersof the width of the product. Ensure label side is facing out so that intumescent element facesinto cavity in case of fire. Adjacent lengths must be tightly butted together. Ensure the product is pushed back to be fully in contact withsupporting wall. Maximum remaining air gap to the back of the external face is44-54*mm. *AirEnsure Fire Barrier is free to expand in a fire situation.gaps greater than 44mm up to 54mm only possible in limited applications. Please check withTENMAT for exact details.**Fix with non-combustible stainless steel nails or screws. Maximum screw head diameter is 11.5mm(trumpet/countersunk type head only). Product must be fixed at maximum 250mm centres.
Key Features: Simple installation Up to 120 minutes fire rating Maintenance free Unaffected by humidity andmoisture Good acoustic insulation Cold smoke seal Thermal PerformanceTested in accordance with BS 476:Part 20, TENMAT NVFB Non-Ventilated Fire Barriers provide up to2 hours fire protection for vertical rainscreen/cladding cavities. The NVFB Non-Ventilated Fire Barrier isused for preventing fire penetration to adjoining compartments within external cavities in a verticalsituation for specified periods of up to 2 hours. They are manufactured to suit cavity widths and are heldin place by a combination of compression and multi purpose brackets.AvailabilityThickness (Total Cavity plus 10mm for Compression Fit) x 100mm x 1000mm.

Push the NVFB onto the leg of the bracket so it is spiked intothe centre of each length, and compress into the cavity,ensuring that the seal is fitted under a minimum of 5mm/10mm*compression.4. Where the gap deviates significantly from the product supplied,trim the thickness of the NVFB with a knife or fine tooth saw toallow a minimum of 5mm/10mm* compression.5. Ensure that adjacent pieces of NVFB have all of their jointstightly abutted together, and are aligned flush with each other.6. Point in any small gaps (up to 5mm) with Intumescent Sealantif required.
