A fire collar for PVC pipe is a code-compliant fire safety solution used in walls and floors where plastic piping penetrates a fire-rated structure. When exposed to high temperatures, the collar’s intumescent material expands and seals the pipe opening to block flames and toxic gases. These are especially important in multi-family housing, commercial buildings, and high-rise construction where fire safety codes are strict. Always install according to manufacturer instructions and local regulations to ensure maximum effectiveness and life-saving performance during an emergency.
