Firestop Fixing Brackets – Steel – Commercial Fire Protection

Product Overview

These industrial-grade firestop fixing brackets are supplied in convenient packs of 50, designed for the secure installation of firestop slabs within curtain walling, floors, and compartment interfaces. The galvanized steel brackets maintain the correct slab positioning, compression, and edge contact to achieve rated fire performance within approved systems.

Each bracket is pre-formed with locating tabs and fixing holes, allowing for quick attachment to concrete, steel, or masonry substrates. The galvanized finish provides long-term corrosion protection in typical internal or sheltered building environments. The large bracket size is intended for wider cavity widths and deeper installations, providing consistent restraint and compression along fire-sealing junctions.

Features & Benefits

• Purpose-designed restraint: Ensures firestop slabs remain securely in place under fire exposure and thermal expansion.
• Durable material: Manufactured from galvanized mild steel for strength and corrosion resistance.
• Ease of installation: Pre-formed fixing holes simplify alignment and fixing to concrete, steel, or masonry.
• Consistent performance: Maintains slab compression and edge contact for optimum fire seal integrity.
• Pack quantity: Supplied in packs of 50 for efficient site application and stock management.
• Bracket size: Large bracket for wider cavity widths and deeper installations.

Applications

• Curtain walling interfaces: Used to fix firestop slabs between floor slabs and external façades.
• Compartment walls and floors: Secures fire-stopping slabs in masonry and steel-framed structures.
• Service penetrations: Provides mechanical restraint for firestop material around voids and openings.
• Façade perimeters: Maintains consistent slab positioning at vertical and horizontal barriers.

Installation Guidance

• Mark fixing points: Determine bracket spacing and position according to firestop installation guidance.
• Fix bracket: Attach to substrate using suitable mechanical fixings (typically one per bracket).
• Insert slab: Fit slab under light compression between brackets to ensure continuous contact.
• Check alignment: Ensure brackets do not distort slab face or compromise compression.
• Inspect after installation: Confirm secure attachment prior to applying any finishing layers.

Compliance & Performance

• Material specification: Galvanized mild steel in accordance with BS EN 10346.
