The BOSS FyreBox™ Cast-In is a multi-service cable and pipe transit device designed for firestopping bundled services through fire-rated concrete floor slabs. Engineered specifically for new construction, it is installed before the concrete pour, saving time, space, and eliminating the need for messy, costly concrete coring. By pre-planning the passive fire protection, the design eliminates compliance risks in shaft and riser applications.

Why Cast-In to the Slab?

Traditional Passive Firestopping vs BOSS FyreBox™ Cast-In

The BOSS FyreBox™ Cast-In has an extensive range of certified services tested and approved, that simply “pass through” the product.

By “casting in” the product at the time of the concrete pour, it removes unnecessary risk of improper product selection using traditional methods. There is no need to core individual penetrations for each service which is a costly and messy process. There is major labour savings compared with the traditional methods such as pillows, batts, sealants and collars.

The BOSS FyreBox™ Cast-In allows you to group various electrical, plumbing and HVAC+R services, all through one easy to use product. The unique BrushSeal™ allows services to be passed through the FyreBox™ Cast-In at any time during construction or after a project has been completed future proofing the building.

One simple system and the reduction of individual penetrations adds simplicity for maintenance contractors and building managers across the life of the project.

How Does It Work In Fire?

• The FyreBox™ Cast-In Features advanced, high pressure intumescent material around the internal perimeter of the metal chassis.
• Intumescent expands during a fire to seal voids around metallics & closes gaps left by melting combustibles.
• Forms a dense char for a high-performance fire seal.
• Includes the innovative BOSS Fire® BrushSeal™ for easier installation and compliance.
• Delivers industry-leading fire protection standards of up to 4hrs

BOSS FyreBox™ Cast-In Size Selection

BOSS Fire developed a wide range of standard sizes off the shelf to avoid custom fabrication and costly lead times. Stocked items include:

FyreBox™ Cast-In Extension Sleeves

BOSS have specifically engineered an “Extension Sleeve” that is simply slipped into place to extend the height of the FyreBox™ Cast-In in 200mm high increments to adapt to any concrete floor slab thickness.
