wrap construction applied directly to the duct. The 3M™ Fire Barrier
Duct Wrap 615 Blanket is wrapped around the perimeter of the duct
and is cut to a length to overlap itself not less than 3" (76mm). The
overlap made by adjacent blankets forms the “longitudinal” overlap.
Aluminum foil tape is used to seal all cut edges of the blanket and
any tears in the foil scrim.

3
 There are three (3) approved installation techniques
for installing the 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615
(See Figures 1A–1D and Figures 2A–2E):
1. Telescoping 3" (76mm) Overlap Wrap
With the telescoping overlap wrap method, each blanket overlaps
one adjacent blanket and each blanket has one edge exposed
and one edge covered by the next blanket as shown in Figure 1A
and 1B. The visible edges of the perimeter overlaps all point in
the same direction.
2. Checkerboard 3" (76mm) Overlap Wrap
With the 3" (76mm) checkerboard overlap wrap method,
blankets with both edges exposed alternate with blankets with
covered edges, as shown in Figure 1C. The visible edges of the
perimeter overlaps alternate their directions and appear on every
other blanket.
3. Butt Joint With Collar
With the butt joint and collar method, adjacent blankets are
butted tightly together and a 6" (152mm) wide collar of 3M™ Fire
Barrier Duct Wrap is centered over the joint, overlapping each
blanket by 3" (76mm) minimum as shown in Figure 1D.
In all three overlap techniques, the perimeter overlap can occur at
any location on the duct. The blanket is mechanically attached to
the duct by steel banding or by welded insulation pins and clips for
all three installation methods listed above.
For Banding Only (See Figures 1A–1D)
Filament tape can be used to temporarily hold the blanket in place
until the banding is applied. The steel banding is applied around
the duct 1-1/2" (38mm) from each edge of the blanket, and
maximum 10-1/2" (26.7cm) centers. The banding is placed around
the material and tightened so as to sufficiently hold the 3M™ Fire
Barrier Duct Wrap 615 in place against the duct, compressing the
foil but not cutting the foil.
Additional Pinning to Prevent Sagging of the Wrap
For ducts 24" (60cm) and larger in width, additional pins are needed
to support the blanket on the bottom horizontal surface and on the
outside face of a vertical duct run. Space pins a maximum of 10-1/2"
(26.7cm) apart in the direction of the blanket width, and a maximum
of 12" (30cm) apart in the direction of the blanket length. Refer to the
following paragraph for more information on Mechanical Fastening
with Pins.
4
For Mechanical Fastening with Pins Only
(See Figure 2A–2E)
Insulation pins are welded to the duct in the centers of the overlaps
a minimum of 1-1/2" (38mm) from each edge of the blanket, and
spaced a maximum of 10-1/2" (26.7cm) on center along perimeter
overlap, and a maximum of 10-1/2" (26.7mm) on center along
longitudinal overlaps. The blanket is impaled over the pins and
held in place by galvanized speed clips. Insulation pins that extend
beyond the blanket wrap shall be turned down to eliminate sharp
points. Insulated cup-head pins can be used at the same spacing
requirements of the insulation pins.
NOTE: Support hangar systems do not need to be wrapped provided
the hangar rods are at least a minimum of 3/8" (9.53mm) diameter
and spaced a maximum of 60" (152cm) on center along the length
of the duct. Use a minimum 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 1/4" (38mm x 38mm
x 6.35mm) steel angle steel support channel or SMACNA equivalent
support system. For ducts greater than 1440 in2 and less than
2040 in2, the trapeze requirements increase to a minimum of
2" x 2" x 1/4".
Penetrations (See Figures 3A–3F)
When the duct penetrates a fire rated wall, ceiling or floor, an
approved firestop system must be employed. Figures 3A–3F
illustrate typical conditions.
To firestop the duct where it passes through rated assemblies,
follow the installation parameters detailed in the Intertek Testing
Services (ITS) or Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) design listings.
Other Applications
Refer to Figures 5–11 for additional typical conditions.
7. Maintenance
No maintenance is required when installed in accordance with the
3M Installation Instructions. Once installed, if any section of the
3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615 is damaged so that the blanket is
damaged, the following procedures will apply:

• The damaged section should be removed by cutting the steel

banding or removing the clips holding it in place.
• 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.
• The new section should be placed and fitted, ensuring the same
overlap that existed previously.
• 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.
• If the blanket has not been damaged but the foil has ripped,
seal the rips with aluminum foil tape.

NOTES
In order to facilitate the application of
3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615 to the installed
ductwork, so the rods trapeze hangers are
outside the wrap envelope, the carbon steel
thread hanging support rods shall be:
1. Installed to provide a 3-1/2" to 4-1/2"
clearance between the rod and the side
of the duct.

normally required in order to permit the cradles
to be reinstalled onto the threaded rods after
the duct has been wrapped.
