The first picture shows how a piece of channel will behave in a fire. Essentially the steel will become elongated downwards in the heat.<\/p>\n<p>The second picture shows how a typical pipe clamp fixed with a threaded rod will also be elongated and deformed, and potentially break through any suspended ceiling underneath it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-55445 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/07\/Fire_Protection_Fire_tested_Products_2-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"Fire_Protection_Fire_tested_Products_2\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/07\/Fire_Protection_Fire_tested_Products_2-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/07\/Fire_Protection_Fire_tested_Products_2-432x305.jpg 432w, https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/07\/Fire_Protection_Fire_tested_Products_2-539x381.jpg 539w, https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/07\/Fire_Protection_Fire_tested_Products_2.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-55446 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/07\/Fire_Protection_Fire_tested_Products_3-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"Fire_Protection_Fire_tested_Products_3\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/07\/Fire_Protection_Fire_tested_Products_3-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/07\/Fire_Protection_Fire_tested_Products_3-432x305.jpg 432w, https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/07\/Fire_Protection_Fire_tested_Products_3-539x381.jpg 539w, https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/07\/Fire_Protection_Fire_tested_Products_3.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Correct design should take into consideration the elongation of both strut channel and pipe clamps in order to determine the minimum distance required from the suspended ceiling.<\/p>\n<h3>Fire resistance of fixings<\/h3>\n<p>The length and heat of a fire can lead to a reduction in load bearing capacity of pipe fixings. The longer a fire burns, the more the load bearing capacity of the fixings will be reduced. Therefore the safe distance between pipe supports on a fire-rated installation will be much less than on a non-fire rated installation.<\/p>\n<p>The diagram below illustrates how much closer the pipe clamps may need to be placed in order to offer a fire rating (F) of 30, 60 or 90m minutes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-59330 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/fire-rated-fixings-load-bearing-capacity2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/fire-rated-fixings-load-bearing-capacity2.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/fire-rated-fixings-load-bearing-capacity2-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/fire-rated-fixings-load-bearing-capacity2-480x186.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/fire-rated-fixings-load-bearing-capacity2-600x233.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is important to consider the deformation and fire resistance of all components making up the fixing system in a fire rated installation including anchors, threaded rod, channel, pipe clamps and any other fixing elements being used.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/fire-stopping-systems\/fire-tested-fixings\/\" class=\"button\">See Walraven&#8217;s fire tested fixings<\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/fire-stopping-enquiry-form\/\">Get in touch<\/a> with us if you have any questions about fire tested fixings or to discuss a current project and will we do what we can to help you.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/fire-stopping-systems\/fire-stopping-information\/\" class=\"button\">Read more fire stopping articles<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mechanical installations above escape routes and emergency exits It is not uncommon for mechanical installations to be fitted above escape routes and emergency exits.
