Definitions
- This invention relates to ventilated covers for electrical fittings and more especially but not exclusively to a ventilated cover for a recessed electrical fitting, such as a downlighter set in a plasterboard ceiling, which, in the event of a fire, isolates the fitting from the structure in which it is recessed to maintain the fire resistance thereof.
- Light fittings recessed into ceilings are well known. Such light fittings are known as downlighters. The heat generated by such light fittings can be considerable and represents a fire hazard. Also the recess in which such a fitting is mounted can itself provide a path for fire and smoke to a room or area located above that ceiling.
- GB-A-2270936 discloses a downlighter which comprises a hood of tented pyramidical shape formed from a fire resistant flexible net material and provided with a hole at or near to its apex to allow for the passage of a cable.
- the hood is not ventilated and is produced from an air pervious material coated with a fire resistant intumescent material.
- This hood construction suffers from a number of disadvantages, these including those imposed by its shape and lack of ventilation, and the fact that the hole through which cabling can pass permits the passage of smoke and flames in the event of a fire.
- the present invention sets out to provide a ventilated cover for an electrical fitting which eliminates, or at least alleviates, many of the disadvantages present in existing fire resistant covers.
- a fire resistant cover for an electrical fitting to be recessed into a supporting structure, the cover comprising a fabric hood coated or impregnated with a liquid based intumescent material and including an aperture through which a cable can pass, the cover being characterised in that it is shaped to include a top supported by one or more upstanding side walls, and comprises an intumescent gasket including a card which overlies a fibrous sheet impregnated with carbon granules secured to the top of the cover and including a plurality of ventilation apertures through one of which electrical wiring can pass to an electrical fitting protected by the cover, and means for connecting the cover to adjoining surfaces of the structure in which the electrical fitting is recessed.
- the fabric is preferably a fibrous cloth (e.g. a glass fibre cloth) which is coated on one or each of its surfaces with liquid based intumescent material.
- a fibrous cloth e.g. a glass fibre cloth
- the cover illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 is produced from a fibrous woven cloth (e.g. a glass fibre woven cloth) which has been coated on one or both of its sides with an intumescent paint or other intumescent medium.
- the cloth is impregnated with intumescent medium.
- the cover is generally circular in cross-section and comprises an upstanding side wall 1, a top 2 and floor pieces 3 which extend inwardly from the lower margin of the side wall. Wires 4 are sewn into the fabric of the side walls 1 to assist in holding the cover upright.
- the side wall 1 is produced from a length of glass fibre cloth which is sewn together at the strip ends, the top 2 then being secured to the upper margin of the side wall again by sewing.
- the floor pieces 3 are simply sewn to the lower margin of the side wall and are cut to enable the pieces 3 to lie flat on the adjoining surface of the suspended ceiling.
- the outside diameter of the cover is 289mm and the height of the cover is typically 145mm.
- the top of the cover has secured to it a circular piece of card 5 which overlies and is bonded to a similarly shaped piece of intumescent material to define an intumescent gasket.
- This material typically comprises a fibrous sheet impregnated with an intumescent material such as carbon granules.
- the gasket comprising the card and intumescent piece may simply be secured to the top of the cover by studs 6 or rivets.
- the gasket is formed with a central opening through which can pass electrical cabling for the light fitting and four ventilation apertures 8. Similar openings are formed in the top of the cover. Typically the outside diameter of the gasket is 60mm.
- the opening through which the cover must pass is relatively small. Because of the flexibility of the fabric material from which the cover and the gasket is formed, the hood can simply be squashed or folded to form a narrow tube which can readily pass through even the smallest ceiling opening for location about the margin of the ceiling opening. Before doing so, the electric wire which carries current to the electrical fitting is passed through the central opening formed in the top 2 of the cover. Once sited, the floor pieces 3 of the cover are secured to the upper surface of the ceiling plasterboard using fixing pins 9 such as illustrated in Figure 3. Other simple forms of fixings may be employed. The fixing pins 9 have the advantage that they can be secured in place using finger pressure. Downlighting can then simply be connected to a source of electricity via the appropriate wire and the opening formed in the plasterboard ceiling closed with a lens cover in the normal way.
- the heat generated by downlighters recessed into ceilings can represent fire hazards.
- the intumescent content of the cover and the card layer 5 quickly expands to isolate the fitting entirely from the surrounding structure thereby confining the fire and maintaining the fire resistance of the structure.
- Covers in accordance with the invention have been subjected to fire testing with no failure of the integrity criterion at the end of four hours testing. Insulation failure occurred after 46 minutes.
- the cover illustrated in Figures 4 and 5 differs from that described above by the presence of fixing straps 10 secured to the lower inner surface of the cover which can be deformed as shown in Figure 5 to locate around a sheet of plasterboard 11 (left hand construction of Figure 5) or around and between superimposed sheets of plasterboard 12 (right hand construction of Figure 5).
- the floor pieces 3 are folded away from the cover interior and lie in contact with the upper surface of the ceiling plasterboard on which the cover is positioned.
