Description
The Ruskin FL-165A is a 165°F fusible link designed for use with Ruskin fire dampers and other compatible fire-rated damper assemblies. Fusible links are critical life-safety components that hold a fire damper in the open position during normal HVAC operation. When ambient temperatures reach the rated threshold — 165°F — the fusible element melts, releasing the damper blade to close automatically and prevent the spread of fire and smoke through ductwork.
