Metacaulk Intumescent Pipe Collars 4" - Case of 18

Metacaulk Pipe Collars

Metacaulk Pipe Collars are prefabricated firestop devices designed for open and closed through-penetration firestop systems using 1-1/2 to 6 inch (38–152 mm) plastic pipes. They provide reliable fire protection by helping seal plastic pipe penetrations and prevent the spread of flames, smoke, and heat through fire-rated assemblies.

Featuring an easy lock mechanism and an efficient collar design, Metacaulk Pipe Collars help reduce installation time and labor costs compared to traditional collar systems. They are suitable for sealing plastic pipes in both closed and vented (DWV) conditions and can be used in approved concrete, gypsum wall, and wood floor assemblies.
