A fire collar is a type of fire resistant fixture that are intended to maintain the integrity and insulating rating of a building element which has been penetrated by building services. For example, when walls and floors are penetrated by cables, ducts, pipework, and so on, the fire rating of the wall or floor can be reduced. This is because the penetration can provide a path that allows fire to breach the building element and continue to spread beyond the intended compartmentation.

Typically, fire collars are a retaining ring which contains carbon intumescent material which expands when rapidly heated. This strong compressive force forms a fire-resistant seal, closing off the service component, and providing an insulating barrier.

There are several different types of fire collar according to the required application (i.e. plastic pipes, copper pipes, general building services, electrical cables, and so on), and can be cast-in-place or attached to the wall or floor exterior. Different fire collars will be required for different material types, and they must be subject to fire resistance testing to ensure they will maintain a particular fire rating. Other considerations include the fire collar size, the ease of installation and the aesthetics.
