FIREPRO SP FIRESTOP SYSTEMSFIREPRO SP FIRESTOPSYSTEMSThe SP FireStop Slab has been specifically designedto form cavity fire stops within buildings.SP FireStop Slab is a one-piece system enablingeasy cutting and installation. The solution providesa unique lateral compression to facilitate a tight fitbetween substrates.ROCKWOOL Ltd2
FIREPRO SP FIRESTOP SYSTEMSAdvantagesDescriptionROCKWOOL SP Firestop Systemcomprises of both the SP Firestop Slaband SP Firestop fixing brackets. TheSP Firestop Slab is a medium densitystone wool slab which incorporates afoil facing to both sides. The foil facingincludes cutting lines to support accurateinstallation. Easy to install, dry fit system Can accommodate limited movement Tested to provide up to 2 hours of fire resistance Resists the passage of smoke – aluminium foil facedon both sides Suitable for cavity widths up to *1000mm*Please contact ROCKWOOL Technical Solutions for fire resistance ratings invoids over 600mm wide.ApplicationsSP Firestop System may be installedhorizontally or vertically and is suitablefor cavity widths between 50mm and600mm. SP Firestop can also be usedhorizontally in cavity widths up to1000mm for further information pleasecontact ROCKWOOL Technical Solutions.SP Firestop System is suitable for: Masonry constructions Curtain Walling Systems Large cavity voids Rainscreen Facades (vertical use only)SP Firestop System is not suitable for useas a horizontal fire barrier in ventilatedfaçade systems. For these applicationsconsider using the ROCKWOOL SPFirestop OSCB.ROCKWOOL Ltd3

FIREPRO SP FIRESTOP SYSTEMSAcoustic performanceROCKWOOL products have excellent acoustic properties and can significantly reducethe levels of airborne sound transmission through wall and floor cavities. For furtherinformation please contact ROCKWOOL Technical Support.Product mmThickness75 & 90mmFire ResistanceUp to 2 hoursHandlingROCKWOOL SP Firestop Slabs are light and easy to handle. They are supplied incompression wrapped polyethylene, which will provide short term protection. For longterm storage they must be protected by a waterproof covering.InstallationROCKWOOL SP Firestop Slabs are designed for cutting on site with a sharp knife orsaw and a straight edge. The cavity to be fire stopped should be measured and theROCKWOOL SP Firestop Slab cut to suit this dimension, using one piece only per gapwidth - see Figures 4 and 5.For easy compression fitting and to accommodate the fixing pattern, cutting shouldbe along the 1000mm length as indicated in figure 1.The SP Fixing Brackets are then re-profiled by hand and cut as necessary to allow atleast 75% penetration of the fire stop material – see Figures 2 and 3.They should be placed as shown in the diagrams, or fixed by other suitablemechanical means.WRe-profile the bracket byhand to form a Z shapeBreak off tab at serrationprior to installation1000mmFigure 2SP Firestop Fixing Bracket650mmSP Firestop Slab - direction of cut toproduce 1000mm long Firestop strips tosuit cavity width WSecure bracket withmetal fixings suitable formasonryFigure 1Cutting method for SP Firestop Slabmin. 75% penetrationFigure 3Sectional view of Firestop Slab and BracketROCKWOOL Ltd5
FIREPRO SP FIRESTOP SYSTEMSFixing within cladding & curtain walling systems1.Cut the ROCKWOOL SP Firestop Slab to suit the *cavity size, allowing foradditional compression of up to 10mm.2.The ROCKWOOL SP60 or SP120 Firestop Slab is impaled onto the SP FixingBrackets at the rate of 2 per 1000mm length, fixed at 500mm 10mm centres asshown in Figure 4. The SP Fixing Brackets should be placed 250mm 10mm infrom each end of the ROCKWOOL SP Firestop Slab.3.The product should then be fitted securely into the void and tightly butted to theadjacent ROCKWOOL SP Firestop Slab.4.Once the ROCKWOOL SP Firestop Slab has been accurately fitted, the SP FixingBrackets must then be fitted to the edge of the concrete floor slab with metalfixings suitable for masonry.Fixing into masonry wall cavities:5.Cut the ROCKWOOL SP Firestop Slab to suit the *cavity size ensuring a tight fit.6.After suitably re-profiling the SP Fixing Brackets they can be built into the bedjoints of the internal leaf at 500mm 10mm centres. Alternatively the SP FixingBrackets may be re-profiled by hand into an ‘L’ shape and mechanically fixed tothe face of the inner leaf.7.The ROCKWOOL SP Firestop Slab is then impaled onto the SP Fixing Bracketafter the next lift of inner leaf masonry.8.Work on both leaves can then be continued and must include either a verticaldamp proof course (vertical installation) or a cavity tray (horizontal installation)installed over the SP Firestop Slab as shown in Figure 5.*For cavity widths of 250mm or more, joints between adjacent lengths of SP Firestop Slab should be sealed onthe top surface with aluminium foil tape.Plan viewVertical sectionCurtain wallY500mmConcrete floor slabDimension Y is 75mm (SP 60)or 90mm (SP 120)Figure 4ROCKWOOL SP Firestop Slab between floor and curtain wallROCKWOOL Ltd6
