Product Description

Finolex Flamegard FR-LSH Wire is a fire-safety wire with 99.97% pure multi-stranded copper for efficient, flexible wiring in homes, offices and industrial sites. Its FR-LSH (Flame Retardant Low Smoke Low Halogen) insulation slows the spread of fire, keeps smoke density low so exit paths stay visible, and limits toxic acid gas emission to under 20%.

ISI marked to IS:694:2010 and rated up to 1100 V, it comes in 1 to 6 sq mm wire thickness, in 90 m and 180 m coils, and five colours for phase, neutral and earth coding.

Key Features

• Flame Retardant: Oxygen Index above 29% and Temperature Index of at least 250°C, so it resists burning and fire spread
• Low Smoke: Smoke density under 60%, keeping exit routes visible in an emergency
• Low Halogen: Acid gas (HCl) emission under 20%, far less toxic than standard PVC wire
• Pure Copper Conductor: 99.97% pure multi-stranded copper for good conductivity and flexibility
• ISI Certified: Made to IS:694:2010, rated up to 1100 V

Recommendations by Variant

Which wire thickness to choose (confirm with your electrician)

• 1 sq mm: LED lighting and fan circuits
• 1.5 sq mm: Wall outlets and moderate lighting loads
• 2.5 sq mm: Power sockets, microwave and small geyser lines
• 4 sq mm: ACs, geysers and heavy kitchen appliances
• 6 sq mm: Main distribution board and high-load connections
• Colours: Red, Yellow and Blue for phase, Black for neutral, Green for earth

Installation Best Practices

1. Conduit Pulling: Pull wire gently through conduits to avoid damaging the insulation
2. Match the Load: Choose wire thickness to suit the appliance's power rating
3. Secure Terminals: Use crimped lugs or tight terminal pins to prevent sparking
4. Colour-Code: Keep colours consistent for phase, neutral and earth

FAQs

1) What does FR-LSH mean?

Flame Retardant Low Smoke Low Halogen. The insulation slows fire spread, produces less smoke and releases far less toxic acid gas than standard PVC wire, helping people evacuate safely.

2) Is this wire halogen-free?

No. It is Low Halogen, a PVC-based wire with HCl emission limited to under 20%. If your project specifically requires zero-halogen (ZHFR / halogen-free) wire, choose a halogen-free product instead.

3) Which thickness should I use for an air conditioner?

4 sq mm is the usual choice for ACs, geysers and heavy kitchen appliances. Use 1 – 2.5 sq mm for lights, fans and standard sockets. Always confirm with your electrician based on the appliance load.

4) How is FR-LSH different from standard FR wire?

Standard FR wire slows flame spread but can still give off dense smoke and toxic gas. FR-LSH also keeps smoke density low and limits halogen acid gas, so exit paths stay clearer in a fire.

5) What coil lengths are available?

Every wire thickness from 1 to 6 sq mm comes in 90 m coils for smaller jobs and 180 m coils for full projects, in Red, Black, Blue, Green and Yellow.
