SpecSeal® LCC Firestop Collars are factory-manufactured devices designed to protect plastic pipes penetrating fire-rated walls and floors. Ready-to-install and utilizing a heavy gauge galvanized metal collar housing a molded intumescent insert, these collars provide rapid expansion protection when exposed to fire, expanding up to 64 times original volume to form a dense, highly insulative char.
