VFB 60/60 Ventilated Fire Barrier
Tenmat’s VFB 60/60 Ventilated Fire Barriers are “open state” cavity fire barriers
designed to offer fire resistance performance within external wall cavities that
require permanent (open-state) ventilation in non-fire conditions.
Passive Fire Protection
VFB 60/60
Product Description
Technical Data Sheet
Tenmat’s VFB 60/60 Ventilated Fire Barriers are ’open state’ cavity fire
barriers for ventilated cavities of up to 450mm. Each VFB 60/60
consists of a specially formulated fire rated stone mineral wool
section with an integral high expansion intumescent seal fixed to
the leading edge.
The VFB 60/60 then leaves a maximum 25mm air gap to allow for
drainage and maintain ventilation in normal use. In a fire situation
the intumescent seal rapidly expands to seal off the air gap and
prevent vertical fire spread within the external wall.
The products have undergone extensive fire testing following the
principles of BS EN1363-1 and in
accordance with ASFP TGD19
(Fire Resistance Test for ‘Open-State’ Cavity Barriers).
The VFB 60/60s are mechanically fixed horizontally within ventilated
cavities behind the external wall substrate following the fire
compartment line. The VFB 60/60s are used horizontally and can
be installed in conjunction with Tenmat NVFB Non-Ventilated Fire
Barriers which provide vertical fire separation along fire compartment
party wall lines.

Notes
Fire Test Report
Number
The types of insulation tested do not infer gene
ric approval for these insulation products and approval
should be sought from the insulation manufacturers depending upon the particular type of construction
being built.
Insulation is tested interrupted to prevent the possibility of fire bypassing behind the cavity barrier. Testing
using a combustible substrate covers a limited combustible or non-combustible substrate.
The ASFP-TGD19 test standard allows for insulation to be replaced with insulation that is listed as better using
the hierarchy as below and must be installed interrupted.
Notes on insulation from TGD19:2017-13.3 Insulation. For interrupted insulation the following hierarchy is
used: Best- stone wool, glass wool, phenolic, PIR, PUR, EPS - Worst

General Design &
Installation Considerations
Technical Data Sheet
Maximum free air gap for this cavity barrier is 25mm, the space in
front of the intumescing strip on the face of the cavity barrier to
the rear of the external wall surface.
Open state cavity barriers should be installed in a continuous run,
(with the exception of abutting up to full fill vertical cavity barriers).
Where this is not possible, details should be agreed with the
projects principal designer and or fire engineer.
Horizontal cavity barriers should be installed adjacent and tightly
abutted to any vertical cavi
ty barriers, the vertical cavity barriers
should be installed first.
Cavity barriers may be cut to length as required, adjacent lengths
must be tightly abutted together. The intumescing face of the
cavity barrier should be unrestricted and free to expand in a fire
situation, fully filling the cavity.
An identification label is attached to the intumescing face of the
cavity barrier, ensure this faces out into the open cavity. Also
ensure the label is visible and legible and reads the right way up.
If the identification label is not legible please contact Tenmat, the
label is important in terms of identifying the product in the future,
for example during fire risk assessments or fire safety inspections.
Cavity barrier fixing brackets, both multi purpose, (MP bracket) or
high performance (HP bracket) must not penetrate through the
face of the cavity barrier. Screws for direct fixing and fixings to
secure brackets are not supplied by Tenmat.
The brackets used to fix the horizontal cavity b
arrier must be installed
with the spike inserted centrally (horizontally) to the rock mineral
wool section of the cavity barrier with the bracket fixed above and
not below the cavity barrier.
The use of tape is not required over the joints between the lengths
of cavity barrier, and if used should not be applied over the face of
intumescent material.
The cavity barrier must be installed following the installation
methods described below. The cavity barrier must not be
penetrated by any other mechanical or electrical services.

Option 1
Technical Data Sheet
VFB 60/60- Product width across cavity 16mm up to 75mm wide, directly faced fixed,
no additional pigtails required.
Use stainless steel countersunk head screws, with a maximum head diameter of
11.5mm and with a length suitable for the size of cavity barrier and sufficient fixing
depth into the substrate.
Fixings must have an appropriate fixing depth for the substrate (with a minimum
of 50mm for masonry fixings and minimum 25mm for timber unless otherwise
specified by the fixing manufacturers guidance for their fixing type).
Ensure that the countersunk screw head does not fully penetrate the face of the
cavity barrier, the screw head should sit flush or slightly proud.
Care should be taken not to over tighten as this may affect the performance of the
intumescent seal.
Position the firs
t screw fixing through the centre line of the face of the cavity barrier at
a maximum 125mm from one end, continue to face fix through at maximum 250mm
centres (4 screws per linear meter), ensuring that the final fixing is a maximum 125mm
from the end of the cavity barrier. This will ensure that face fixings are positioned at
250mm centres across the continuous run of cavity barrier.
125mm
250mm
Where sections of cavity barrier are less than 1 linear meter in length, ensure that
face fixings are positioned at a maximum 125mm from each end with additional
fixing being positioned at maximum 250mm centres between the end fixings.
For cut sections of cavity barrier less than or equal to 250mm in length only one
fixing is required.
VFB 60/60
Technical Data Sheet
Option 2
VFB 60/60 - Product width across cavity from 76mm up to 90mm wide, fixed
using 2 multi purpose (MP) 65mm brackets and 4 number pigtails screws (per
linear meter).
A
MP brackets are supplied with 2 fixing spikes, on
e spike is 65mm long (A), the other is 160mm
long (B), with a central pre drilled section for securing the bracket to the substrate.
B
For cavity barriers 76mm-90mm wide (across cavity) use 2 MP brackets and the 65mm (A)
long spike.
To secure the bracket use nom. 5mm Ø stainless steel screws/fixings, with a maximum head
diameter of 13mm and with a length and type suitable for the substrate.
Ensure that the screw head sits as flush as possible with the substrate.
Fix through both of the fixing holes.
A
Fixings must have an appropriate fixing depth for the substrate (with a minimum of 50mm for
masonry and minimum 25mm for timber unless otherwise specified by the fixing manufacturers
guidance for their fixing type).
Fix 2 number MP brackets, per linear meter, to the substrate at maximum 250mm from the
end of the cavity barrier, with a maximum spacing between brackets of 500mm.
250mm
250mm
Where sections of cavity barrier are less than 1 linear meter in length, ensure that MP
brack
ets are positioned at a maximum 250mm from each end. For cut sections of cavity
barrier less than or equal to 500mm in length only one MP bracket is required.
Push the cavity barrier onto the bracket spike, the brackets should impale the VFB 60/60
to mid barrier depth and must not protrude through the intumescent element.
The cavity barrier should be pushed fully onto the bracket spike and sit flush with the
substrate at the rear of the cavity barrier, ensuring that there are no gaps behind the cavity
barrier.
Screw the pigtail screws through the face of the intumescing material on the face of the
cavity barrier (the face with the label).
125mm
250mm
25mm
Position the first pigtail screw fixing through the face of the cavity barrier at a maximum
125mm from one end, continue to face fix through at maximum 250mm centres (4 pigtail
screws per linear meter), ensuring that the final pigtail fixing is a maximum 125mm from
the end of the cavity barrier.
This will ensure that pigtail fixin
gs are positioned at 250mm centres across the continuous
run of cavity barrier.
The pigtails should be screwed in to the face of the cavity barrier to a depth which leaves
25mm of the pigtail proud of the intumescing face of the cavity barrier.
Where sections of cavity barrier are less than 1 linear meter in length, ensure that pigtails
are positioned at a maximum 125mm from each end with additional fixing being positioned
at maximum 250mm centres between the end pigtails.
Where the space between the end pigtails exceeds 250mm additional pigtails will be
required.
Where the cavity barrier is less than 250mm in length only 1 pigtail will be required.
All sections of cavity barrier require pigtail screws unless directly faced fixed through the
cavity barrier, as per option 1.

linear meter).
