Metacaulk Intumescent Sleeve for 6" and 8" Pipe

Metacaulk Intumescent Sleeve

Metacaulk Intumescent Sleeve is a firestop sealing solution designed for various plastic pipe and hard non-metal conduit installations. It provides reliable fire protection for penetrations by expanding when exposed to fire to help seal openings and prevent the spread of flames and smoke.
