A Firestop Collar is needed any time a radon vent pipe passes through a fire-rated wall, floor, or ceiling. These collars are installed around PVC pipes and expand during a fire, sealing the opening to contain flames and smoke. Radon mitigation systems often run through multiple levels of a home or building, so meeting fire codes is critical. Firestop collars are commonly required in basements, attics, and multi-unit housing. Without them, your system may fail local inspections or compromise occupant safety. Whether retrofitting an older home or working on new construction, a properly installed firestop collar ensures your radon system is not just effective—but also compliant and safe.

Thank you for sharing such valuable insights! Firestop collars in radon systems often get overlooked until inspections bring them up, and your blog clearly shows why they’re necessary. I like how you explained their purpose in maintaining fire resistance and keeping systems compliant. It’s great advice for both DIY enthusiasts and professionals in the field. This article definitely raises awareness about a detail that really matters. Sidney De Queiroz Pedrosa
