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.

Firestop collars are essential in radon mitigation systems, especially when PVC pipes penetrate walls or ceilings. They prevent fire from spreading through these openings by expanding when exposed to heat, sealing the gap effectively. Proper installation is crucial; using the correct fasteners ensures optimal performance. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for safety. https://floridapayments.com/point-of-sale-systems-and-software/ovvi-pos-systems/
