To partner with the Filoseal+HD and Filoseal+HD FIRE, Filoform have created frames to hold a seal where the space or structure will not allow fitting of a seal into the structure itself.
The frames are modular in construction and can be assembled in almost any size required. The frames are made of 6mm steel which is zinc plated to give a longer life.
Use of Filoseal+HD FIRE in these frames has been tested to EN1366-3:2009 for a period of up to 4 hours on a standard installation.
Frames are a worthy addition to the Filoseal+HD and HD FIRE ranges as they are a problem solver in the following situations:
1, Irregular openings in a wall – frame neatens the install
2, Walls of a poorer quality – frame stops reliance of seal bonding to structure
3, Ducts with too many cables – frame allows splaying of cables to obtain a proper seal.
4, Large cable runs such as a riser can be neatly sealed.
With this design of seal system, accompanied by these frames, the need for upfront design is minimised. With the offer of this style frame, we have performed all the tests we can on it to give you confidence in the system as a whole.
There is no need to get into complicated modular insert sizes as this system is filled with our widely approved Filoseal+HD and Filoseal+HD FIRE systems which need little to no upfront design in order to be incorporated into your project.
If you use our quote enquiry page for this system, we only need to know the size of the hole that you wish to cover and an estimation of the numbers of cables and their sizes. We can work out your needs based upon this and provide a CAD based drawing of our solution.
The frames can be assembled around existing cable runs which minimises (or should that be eliminates) down time of whatever your cables are connected to.
The modularity of the frame is based around two opening sizes; they are 120 x 120mm (type A) or 120 x 240mm (type B) which somewhat follows the frame sizing of regular transit systems. Obviously, for a larger hole, we build a multi-opening frame to suit the application.
Built frames - ( A Frame & B Frame)
Built frame size notation.
Frames of Type A (120 x 120 opening). For clarity, all frames are 120 wide, it is the height that changes.
Frames types followed by an ‘xn’ notation means there are n number of openings set out horizontally in a row.
Frames types followed by a ‘+type A or B’ notation mean the frames are stacked vertically on top of each other.
So a frame denoted A+A+A x8 means there are 24 openings in total of size A, in columns of 3 high 8 times over.
