apparatus boxes?

A: The Multifix apparatus boxes are compatible with standard
plaster boards with a thickness of 13 mm.

Q: What is the minimum beam size required for

installation?

A: The minimum beam size required for installation is 70 mm.

Q: How should the boxes be secured to the vertical beam

structure?

A: The boxes can be secured to the vertical beam structure using
beam fixings, screws, or nails. Alternatively, they can be
installed in additional horizontal beams using similar means.

Q: What is the recommended distance between the box centers

when installing on opposite sides of the wall?

A: When installing on opposite sides of the wall, a minimum
distance of 200 mm between the box centers is recommended.

Q: Should the fire-classified walls be insulated?

walls are not insulated, a chamber of 300 mm should be created in
each direction and filled with mineral wool. Always use stone for
insulation.

no Veiledning for Multifix veggbokser i EI30 og EI60 brannklassifiserte vegger
For å hindre spredning av brann, stilles det krav til installasjon i brannklassifiserte vegger. Informasjonen gjelder enkel boks, 1½ modul og dobbel boks. EI30 klassifiserte vegger med minimum 1×12,5 standard gipsplate og EI60 klassifiserte vegger med minimum 2×12,5 standard gipsplate. Begge med minimum 70 mm tre- eller stålstender. Godkjenning RISEFR 050-0211. Boksene monteres på stående eller liggende stender med tilhørende stenderfeste, skruer eller spiker. I tabellene over finner du maks. monteringshøyde ved forskjellige bokskombinasjoner. Ved montering av bokser på begge sider av veggen, må senteravstanden mellom boksene være minimum 200 mm. Brannklassifiserte vegger er vanligvis fullisolerte. I tilfelle veggene mangler isolasjon, er det nødvendig å lage et kammer på 300 mm i hver retning og isolere med steinull. Vedrørende isolasjonstype, bruk alltid steinull med tetthet 28 kg/m³.

fi Ohjeet Multifix KR palorasioille-EI30 ja EI60 luokitelluissa seinissä
Erityiset vaatimukset asentamisesta paloluokiteltuihin seiniin suojaustason ylläpitämiseksi palon leviämistä vastaan. Tieto liittyy palokojerasioiden, 1.5- palokojerasioiden ja kaksoispalokojerasioiden asennukseen. EI30 luokitellut seinät vähintään 1×12,5 mm kipsilevyllä ja EI60-luokitellut seinät vähintään 2×12,5 mm kipsilevyllä. Molemmissa tyypeissä rangan vähimmäissyvyys 70 mm. Palkit jotka on valmistettu teräksestä tai puusta hyväksytään. Hyväksyntä RISEFR 050-0211. Palorasiat on kiinnitettävä pystysuoraan palkkirakenteeseen rankatuen avulla tai naulaamalla/ruuvaamalla. Taulukosta löydät mahdolliset yhdistelmät ja hyväksyttävät asennuskorkeudet lattiatasosta. Asenna seinän vastakkaisille puolille vähintään 200 mm etäisyys rasioiden keskipisteiden välillä. Yleensä paloluokitellut seinät ovat täysin eristettyjä. Jos seinät eivät ole eristettynä on luotava 300 mm:n tila kumpaankin suuntaan ja täytettävä villalla. Käytä eristykseen aina kivivillaa, jonka vähimmäistiheys on 28 kg/m³.
