Description
The Elsie Manufacturing C165 is a 165°F fusible link designed for use in fire and life safety applications within HVAC systems. Fusible links are critical passive fire protection components that hold fire and smoke dampers in the open position during normal operation and release them automatically when ambient temperatures rise to a dangerous level — allowing the damper to close and restrict the spread of fire and smoke.
Product Overview
The C165 features a no-hook design, making it suitable for specific damper blade configurations that require a direct attachment method without a hook end. When the surrounding air temperature reaches the rated 165°F (74°C) threshold, the fusible element melts, releasing the damper blade and triggering automatic closure.
Key Features
- Rated temperature: 165°F (74°C)
- No-hook attachment style for compatible damper applications
- Passive fire protection — no power or control wiring required
- Designed for use with fire and smoke dampers in HVAC ductwork
- Manufactured by Elsie Manufacturing, a trusted name in fusible link products
- Provides reliable, one-time actuation upon reaching rated temperature
Applications
- Fire dampers in commercial and residential HVAC duct systems
- Smoke and combination fire/smoke damper assemblies
- Replacement fusible links for existing damper installations
- New construction and retrofit HVAC projects requiring UL-listed fire protection components
Installation Notes
Fusible links must be replaced after any actuation event or heat exposure near the rated temperature. Always verify compatibility with your specific damper model and consult local fire codes and NFPA standards when selecting and installing fusible links. The no-hook design of the C165 is intended for damper frames that use a pin or clip retention method rather than a hook-style blade holder.
