Passive fire protection and fire sealing of plumbing installations
At Kramer Installation A/S, we perform passive fire protection and fire sealing around plumbing installations in new constructions, renovations, and existing buildings. When pipes pass through fire-separating walls and floor slabs, the penetration must be properly sealed to support the required fire resistance of the construction. We provide solutions focused on safety, correct installation, and clear documentation.
Fire stopping that limits the spread of fire and smoke
Even small openings around pipes can weaken a fire compartment and allow the passage of fire, smoke, and heat. Therefore, we always assess the pipe type, insulation, opening, and the surrounding building element before selecting the solution. The fire sealing is carried out as a complete, documented system and in accordance with the relevant installation instructions.
- Fire sealing around metal pipes, plastic pipes, and insulated pipes
- Sealing of penetrations in fire-rated walls and floor slabs
- Installation of fire collars, fire gaskets, fire plates, and fire sealing compounds
- Fire sealing of joints and openings around plumbing installations
- Repair of defective or damaged fire seals
- Labeling, registration, and documentation of the completed solutions
The right solution for the specific penetration
A firestop must fit both the installation and the construction. Pipe material, diameter, insulation type, wall or deck structure, and the required fire classification are important factors in the selection. We use tested and documented systems and follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure the solution is executed correctly and can be inspected afterwards.
From inspection to documented fire stopping

Delivery
We inspect, label, and document the work according to the agreed scope.
Passive fire protection in new construction and renovation
For new projects, we plan the fire sealing together with the plumbing work and coordinate with construction management, consultants, and other trades. In existing buildings, we can review visible plumbing penetrations and remedy deficiencies, damages, or changes following renovation. The work is organized so that installations remain accessible for operation and maintenance where the solution allows.
- Review of plumbing penetrations and project requirements
- Selection of documented solution for the specific construction
- Precise installation around pipes, insulation and joints
- Coordination with other installation trades and construction management
- Visual inspection, labeling and quality assurance
- Handover with overview and relevant documentation
Documentation creates security
A properly executed fire sealing must also be documented. We record the completed locations and collect relevant information about the systems and products used. Upon agreement, the delivery can include photo documentation and labeling, making it easy for the client, operations, and consultants to monitor and maintain the building's fire protection.
