Fire Rated Air Transfer Grilles Product Data Sheet
Installation Instructions
The installer must ensure that the doorset/door blank has been
tested with an aperture to accept an air transfer grille system for
the required period of fire resistance. Failure to comply with the
requirements and instructions detailed in the specification of
the doorset/blank may invalidate the fire resistance period of
the fire resisting door assembly.
Position and Location Within the Doorset
As the test series includes both positive and negative pressure
tests, it is considered that the grilles may be installed within
doorsets adhering to the following criteria. The system shall be
installed no closer than 150mm to the threshold and no higher
than 1850mm.
Installation Procedure
1. Cut the aperture in the door.
2. Line the aperture with a 6mm-hardwood liner.
3. Apply a bead of Pyroplex® intumescent acrylic centrally and
spread the acrylic across the full width of timber liner, to
achieve a thickness of 0.50mm.
4. Install the Air Transfer Grille into the aperture.
5. Secure the system into place using steel pins (not supplied).
Alternatively, secure the system using self-tapping screws.
6. Fit the cover plates on both faces of the door and secure with
screws provided.

What is CERTIFIRE?
CERTIFIRE is a national certification body operating specifically in the field
of passive fire protection and has been recognised by regulatory
authorities both in the UK and overseas.
CERTIFIRE requirements are based on those for CE Marking but whereas
the CE Mark reflects compliance with minimum regulatory requirements,
CERTIFIRE provides a third party product certification at a higher level, a
quality mark. This is designed to enable manufacturers to demonstrate a
difference between their products and those satisfying only the minimum
requirements to be placed on the market.
The main additional requirements for CERTIFIRE over and above
verification for CE Marking’s are ISO9001:2000 certification, independent
audit testing and a comprehensive field of application document based on
carefully chosen product performance tests.
What is a Technical Schedule?
CERTIFIRE provide companies with a certificate of approval if the products
are in accordance with CERTIFIRE rules of certification. CERTIFIRE Technical
Schedules are the technical specification against which certification is
awarded.
Each Technical Schedule describes the performance and design
characteristics required of a product to satisfactorily perform its fire
protection function.
What is a BS476 Part 22:1987?
There are a wide range of British Standards relating to fire safety
regulations. BS476 is concerned with fire testing on building materials and
structures. Part 22: 1987 specifically relates to ‘Methods for determination
of the fire resistance of non load bearing elements of construction’.

General Purpose
In normal use, the grille system allows free air to be circulated and
moved throughout the building. Under a fire situation, the system
is designed to close and provide a permanent fire barrier to
restrict the passage of hot gases.
Field of Application
Pyroplex® air transfer grille systems have been specifically
designed for use in the following applications:
• Fire resisting doorsets - 30 minutes and 60 minutes.
• Compartment walls - up to 60 minutes fire resistance.

Product Features
Grilles
• Air transfer grille systems feature modular robust construction.
• Grilles constructed from Zintec Mild Steel (0.65mm thick) with
matching Zintec clips.
• System is maintenance free and easy to install.
• Intumescent strip material is totally unaffected by water, robust,
‘non-flaking’ and difficult to tear.
Faceplates
• Faceplates are constructed from Zintec Mild Steel (1.0mm thick)
and powder coated.
• Faceplates are available in a choice of three powder coated
finishes - white, silver and beige.
• Faceplates are supplied with fixing screws.
Intumescent Material
The Intumescent material is based upon an expandable
graphite, which when heated expands multi-directionally
generating high pressure to fill the cavity of the plastic pipe
which has been consumed in the fire. The expanded graphite
exhibits sufficient char to restrict the passage of fire through the
door or compartment wall for 30/60 minutes fire resistance.
Test Response
Independently tested by Bodycote/Warringtonfire for 30 and 60
minute fire resistance. The system has been tested for positive
and negative pressure planes, satisfying integrity performance
for 30 and 60 minutes. Test Report No.146520/146521 and
148053 apply - combined within Assessment Report No.149511.
CERTIFIRE CF549 accreditation applies.

As this product is not subject to routine and replacement
programmes, Pyroplex® recommend that all firestopping
materials are checked on a regular basis to ensure that the
product remains integral. Replace and fit any damaged
components to reinstate the fire resistance.
Product Guarantee
Providing the product is installed in accordance with the
requirements of the guidance document the product is
guaranteed for a period of 10 years.
