A Swedish fire protection distribution box is a specialized enclosure designed to maintain fire integrity, prevent smoke and gas spread, and protect cables and pipes during a fire.

Overview

Swedish fire protection distribution boxes, such as the Fire Box by Fireseal AB, are engineered to provide fire sealing for electrical and piping installations. They are typically made of thin-walled steel and contain intumescent graphite material along with a smoke and gas seal. In the event of a fire, the intumescent material expands to maintain insulation and fire integrity, preventing smoke and gases from passing through the box .

Key Features

• Fire Resistance: Designed for fire classes EI 60 to EI 180, depending on wall construction and insulation type .
• Material: Thin-walled steel with intumescent graphite and reactive sealants.
• Installation: Can be opened for retrofitting pre-installed cables or pipes. A metal frame holds the box in place, and the space between the box and wall/floor is sealed with FS400 acrylic or FS3000 silicone sealant .
• Maintenance: Once installed, the box requires no further maintenance.

Applications

These distribution boxes are used in industrial, commercial, and construction settings to protect electrical wiring, metal pipes, and plastic pipes from fire damage. They are particularly useful in process industries where fire safety is critical, and in buildings requiring compliance with Swedish and European fire safety standards.

• Installation method and whether retrofitting is needed.
• Certifications such as FM or VdS approval for industrial applications. Swedish fire protection distribution boxes provide a reliable, maintenance-free solution for ensuring fire safety in critical installations, combining robust materials, fire-resistant design, and compliance with international standards.
