INTERTENANCY
SYSTEMS
KOROK® Intertenancy wall systems achieve up to
120/120/120 Fire Resistance Rating (FRR) and achieve a
minimum acoustic control rating of STC 63.

This manual covers both timber framed and steel framed
KOROK® Intertenancy wall systems.

BENEFITS
•   Adding a steel panel forms a secure intertenancy wall.       BEFORE FIRE - KOROK® aluminium brackets are
                                                                 fixed to framing both sides of KOROK® fire barrier.
•   No need for scaffolding.

•   The clip together simplicity makes for rapid
    construction.

•   KOROK® Intertenancy wall is not adversely affected by
    weather.

•   Internal wall linings are installed, once the building is
    closed in.

•   Service penetrations, such as pipes, power points,
    light fittings and switches are easily included within the
    partition.

•   Is lightweight so no additional foundations are required.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
Conventional-framed wall systems rely on the internal
linings for fire-resistance. The KOROK® Intertenancy wall
                                                                 DURING FIRE - KOROK® aluminium brackets on the
systems locate the main fire barrier between frames and is
                                                                 fire side melt.
designed to protect the structure on the side opposite the
fire.

KOROK® aluminium brackets attach the KOROK®
Intertenancy wall panels to both frames. The aluminium
brackets on the fire side melt, allowing the structure on
the fire side to detach without causing damage leaving
the KOROK® fire barrier supported by aluminium brackets
connected to framing on the non-fire side.

                                                                 AFTER FIRE - The adjoining occupancy is protected
                                                                 by KOROK® Intertenancy wall.

WEST AUCKLAND FIRE
A massive blaze ripped through the unoccupied three-
storey building at 3:55am. Sixteen fire crews helped
extinguish the huge fire. A local resident said, “It was scary, it
was quite close. It was just going straight up.” She also said
while the event was horrible, it was “good to know” the fire
walls worked in the midst of high-density housing.

                                                                                             Photograph credit: Angela Nash

For terraced housing, the KOROK® panels are held in
position with KOROK® aluminium brackets within the timber
frame cavity. In the unfortunate event of a fire, the brackets
are designed to melt on the fire side and to remain intact on
the non-fire side, which in turn supports the KOROK® panel
fire barrier.

1         Place a bead of fire rated sealant between the floor
and C-track on the centre line of the KOROK® wall position.
Refer the KOROK® Components Summary for approved
sealants.

Where the timber framing sits on HIANDRI packers use
KOROK® J-track, in place of C-track, with the 70mm leg to
the wall framing side.

2          Fix the C-track at maximum centres of 400mm
with 6.5mm x 32mm Hilti DBZ Fastenings.
Place fire rated sealant in the internal corner of the C-track.
When setting out the C-track ensure there is enough
clearance from the wall frame giving consideration to any
KOROK® KIT flashings.
If the surrounding surface is uneven or if you are not sure
you have a good seal, add another bead of fire rated sealant
along the C-track floor junction.

3          Fix the side C-track to the first panel using
10x16mm Wafer Tek screws at 400mm centres both sides,
prior to installing.
Then place the first panel into the floor C-track.
                                                                                                                   C-track

5        After every second panel is installed, fix the
KOROK® aluminium brackets into the panel using 2 each Hex
Head Type 17 14g x 35mm screws and 1 each Hex Head
Type 17 14g x 35mm screws into framing at no more than
3.0 metres above floor level.

6        Continue placing panels into position, ensuring the
tongue and groove are fully locked.
Cut the last panel to fit the wall length and place C-track on
the cut panel and screw off with 10 x 16 Wafer Tek screws at
400mm centres both sides.
Screw off the bottom C-track with 10 x 16 Wafer Tek screws
at 250mm centres both sides.

Fix the remaining rows of KOROK® aluminium brackets to the
timber frame and panels at a maximum 500mm horizontal
centres and 3.0 metres vertically into the panel.
There must be a row of KOROK® aluminium brackets within
1500mm of any mid-wall horizontal joint.

8         Place bead of fire rated sealant on top of C-track.
Place the second C-track directly on top and fix with Hex
Head SDS 14g x 22mm screws at 400mm centres.

9        Place bead of fire sealant into the internal corner of
the top C-track.

Place the first panel in position and fix with a KOROK®
aluminium bracket no more than 3.0 metres vertically from
the previous row of brackets.
You may use a temporary brace.

11        Continue placing the KOROK® panels.
Fix panels to timber framing with KOROK® aluminium
brackets at 500mm horizontal centres into the panel and
no more than 3.0 metres from the last row of KOROK®
aluminium brackets.
Fix the vertical C-track to the last KOROK® panel using
10x16mm Wafer Tek screws at 400mm centres both sides.
Screw off the bottom C-track with 10 x 16 Wafer Tek screws
at 250mm centres both sides.
Cutting of the KOROK® panels to the rake and height may be
carried out when all the panels are erected.

12        Place a bead of fire sealant into the internal corner
of the top C-track.
Place the top C-track hard down on top of KOROK® panels
and fix off with 10x16mm Wafer Tek screws at 250mm
centres one side.
Fix the KOROK® aluminium brackets to timber framing and
panels at 500mm horizontal centres with Hex Head Type 17
14g x 35mm screws. Ensure wall is straight and true.
Place a bead of fire sealant around the join edge between
the C-track and the panel.

Check if the system you are installing requires head track protection. This applies to KIT 51mm 60/60/60 and KIT 78mm,
120/120/120 systems. There are three options:

13.1             Install a KOROK® Fire flashing at the top
C-track. The KOROK® Fire flashing is fixed to the panels at
250mm centres using Wafer Tek 10g - 16 x 16mm screws.
Place a bead of fire sealant around the perimeter of the
KOROK® Fire flashing and over any joins.

                            OR

13.2              Install a 13mm GIB Fyreline® or
equivalent x 120mm strip with sealant fixed at 250mm
centres top and bottom, using 6g x 32mm drywall screws.

                            OR

Apply a bead of fire sealant along both flashing edges.
This applies to KIT 51mm 60/60/60 and KIT 78mm,
120/120/120 systems.

15       Ensure the wall is screwed off at each panel joint on one side at 1000mm centres vertically with 10x16 Wafer Tek
screws. The horizontal bottom and mid-wall C-track is screwed off to the KOROK® panel with 10x16 Wafer Tek screws at 250mm

  FINAL CHECK
  At the completion of the job and at the finish of each day’s work, it is essential that the completed area be
  thoroughly cleaned of all swarf, rivet stems, nails, drillings and screws etc. normally associated with the
  installation of metal KOROK® panels. Remove any remaining strippable film, check all fixings are correctly
  installed, all fire and acoustic sealant is applied correctly.
