Class A1 Non Combustible Ducting
For residential ventilation system such as MVHR that have terminations running out to the building facade, A1 rated ductwork will be required.
The A1 rated ductwork is directly connected to the standard PVC ducting used (e.g. 220 x 90mm) at the slab level, through the cavity wall and then dropped to meet the desired termination position on the facade wall. The fire resistance classification criteria for construction products is detailed in BS EN 13501w+ A1:2018 and includes a list of products (European Commission 96/603/EC) which, under specified conditions, can be considered to be class A1 without testing. (see full details in the technical specification)
Pinnacle A1 Rated Non Combustible Ducting is manufactured from 0.9mm hot dipped galvanised mild steel and is sufficient to provide A1 classification for the purposes of ductwork terminating through the façade of the building.
