Trelleborg Group
Streamlines the specification of this fire-protection product
The company’s product FireNut (photo) is a lightweight, rubber-based, easy-to-install alternative to the fire-insulated metal boxes that are often used for the protection of bolted connections or flanges on offshore installations. Designed to protect just the nuts of a bolted connection or flange, this lightweight solution is customizable to accommodate almost any bolt size, is easy to install, and extends the service life in the event of a fire. It is resistant to both jet fire and pool fire. The FireNut mobile app is designed to make it easier to specify the best FireNut to suit their flange type and size, thereby improving onboard safety, says the company. — Trelleborg Group, Trelleborg, Sweden
