Fire protection

All KESSEL drain systems with a fire protection feature comply

with fire resistance class F120. There is no need for preventative

fire protection for floor drains in single-, two-family homes,

basements and floor drains with horizontal outlets (under certain

conditions).

The German State Building Code defines

the required fire resistance period in

classes as follows:

Fire resistance class

Fire resistance period

(minutes)

F30

> 30

F60

> 60

F90

> 90

F120

> 120

Fire-Kit (Z-19.17-1719, Z-19.53-2414)

Fire burns away all exposed plastic pipe.

The flames then reach the outlet of the

drain body.

Quick-Fit (DIBt Certification)

The fire-protection insert provides the

necessary fire protection. This is attached

by a metal hoop on the lower end of the

installation aid. In the event of a fire, the fire

protection mass swells up and closes the

gap resulting from the melting seal. This guar-

antees a smoke-tight closure and prevents

the fire from spreading to the floor above.

1 Insert Quick-Fit in core hole (Ø 160 mm).

2 Lower the Ecoguss drain body with vertical

outlet into Quick-Fit.

3 Fit the upper section.

The odour trap built into the drain body

combines with sealing water to prevent

smoke and gas reaching upper levels

of the building.

The Fire-Kit fire protection insert expands

due to the heat and completely seals

off the openings in the concrete floor,

preventing fire from spreading to the

floor above.
