TENMAT Fire Rated Switch Box Inserts are a cost effective and simple solution for protecting electrical switch and socket boxes when fitted in fire rated walls.
The fire resistant material fully lines the socket to provide a fire seal that limits the spread of fire within and through the partition.
The Switch Box Inserts are pre-formed and can be installed in seconds without assembly or adhesives. The profiled design ensures that the insert can be simply push fitted into the electrical metal or plastic back boxes.
The flanged design also ensures that the Socket Box Insert remains in position during a fire even when fitted within plastic drylining boxes.
Offering significant labour and cost savings over plasterboard lining or putty pad solutions, the Socket Box Inserts are available to suit both single and double sockets.
