Protecta FR Putty Pads are flexible, non-setting fire and acoustic seals for electrical switches and socket boxes installed in fire-rated gypsum walls. They help reinstate the performance lost when the lining is cut to receive an electrical box.
Key features
- Easy to shape by hand around electrical boxes and cable entries
- Suitable for internal or external fitting where covered by the tested detail
- Helps restrict the passage of flame, smoke and air through the wall cavity
- Supports sound insulation across the partition
- Available in 170 x 170mm and 230 x 170mm sizes
- Supplied in boxes of 20 pads
Fire performance
The pads can reinstate fire resistance for up to two hours, depending on the wall construction, box arrangement and approved installation detail.
Installation note: Check the socket-box type, wall build-up, pad size and fitting method against the latest Protecta documentation before installation.
