3M™Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+

Technical Data Sheet February / 2021

Product Description 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ is a flexible fire-resistant wrap consisting of an
inorganic fiber blanket encapsulated with a scrim-reinforced foil. The product is 1-
1/2 in. thick, 6pcf density1. It is used to fire rate commercial kitchen grease ducts as
well as ventilation ducts. 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ is a proven alternative to
1- or 2-hour fire-resistant rated shaft enclosures for grease ducts (ICC-ES ESR-1255).
With its excellent insulating capabilities, low weight and thin profile, it is an ideal
choice for a duct enclosure system. This non-asbestos2 wrap installs easily due to its
high flexibility and strength.

1
In accordance with the tolerances in ASTM C892 Standard Specification for High-Temperature Fiber
Blanket Thermal Insulation.
2
Has been demonstrated to be soluble in the lungs according to EU guideline 97/69/EG, for
biopersistence.

Product Features • Two-layer wrap for grease ducts rated as a shaft alternative per ASTM E2336
• Zero clearance to combustibles throughout the entire enclosure system for
congested spaces
• Butted inner layer in 2-layer Grease Duct Applications
• One-layer wrap for fire-resistive ventilation ducts per ISO 6944 Type A
• High flexibility for installation ease
• Foil encapsulated for blanket protection, less dust, and high wrap strength
• Widest range of penetration seal systems
• Available in 24 in. x 25 ft. (609.6 mm x 7.62 m) and 48 in. x 25 ft. (1219.2 mm x
7.62 m) rolls

3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+

Applications 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ is an ideal fire resistive enclosure for commercial
kitchen grease ducts and ventilation air ducts. It is a proven performance alternative to
a 1- or 2-hour fire-resistant rated shaft enclosures for grease ducts and provides zero
clearance to combustible construction throughout the entire enclosure system. 3M™
Fire Barrier Water Tight Sealant 1000 NS, 3M™ Fire Barrier Water Tight Sealant 1003
SL or 3M™ Fire Barrier Silicone Sealant 2000+ is used in combination with 3M™ Fire
Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ to firestop the duct when the duct penetrates fire-rated floor
or wall assemblies. 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ also provides a firestop solution
where a T-rating is required for penetrations located outside wall cavities or outside
fire-resistance rated shaft enclosures.
Two-layer grease duct applications: 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ meets the
criteria of ASTM E2336 Standard Test Methods for Fire Resistive Grease Duct
Enclosure Systems.
Single-layer air duct applications: 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ has passed ISO
6944-1985 Fire Resistance Tests – Ventilation Ducts.
T-rating for metallic through-penetrating items: 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ is
used in conjunction with 3M Fire Barrier sealants to achieve up to 2-hour equal F & T-
ratings in ASTM E814 (UL 1479) tested through-penetrations.

Maintenance No maintenance is expected when installed in accordance with the applicable Intertek,
UL or other third-party listed system and in accordance with
3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ Installation Guidelines. Once installed, if any section
of the 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ is damaged such
that the blanket requires repair, the following procedure will apply:
1. If the blanket has not been damaged but the foil has ripped, seal the rips with
aluminum foil tape.
2. If the blanket has been damaged:
a. The damaged section should be removed by cutting the steel banding or removing
the clips holding it in place.
b. A new section of the same dimension should be cut from a roll of 3M™ Fire Barrier
Duct Wrap 615+, either 24" (60.9cm) or 48" (121cm) wide.
c. The new section should be placed and fitted ensuring the same overlap that existed
previously (i.e. the original installation method).
d. The steel banding should be placed around the material and tensioned so as to
sufficiently hold the 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ in place.
