Description The pipe for the wall duct must protrude a little on each side for the installation of the fire protection sleeve, supporting part and the transfer coupling. This results in storeroom lengths (uncut) in 0.5 m increments. The troughs can be shortened on site, so any storeroom length up to 6 m is possible.
