Description
Ruskin FL165-B Fusible Link Overview
The Ruskin FL165-B is a fusible link designed for use with fire and smoke dampers in HVAC duct systems. Fusible links serve as a critical life-safety component — they hold a damper blade open during normal operation and melt at a rated temperature to release the damper, allowing it to close automatically and prevent the spread of fire and smoke through ductwork.
Key Features
- Designed for use with Ruskin fire and smoke damper assemblies
- Provides automatic thermal release upon reaching rated temperature
- Supports code-compliant fire and smoke control in HVAC duct systems
- Durable construction for long-term reliability in installed applications
- Direct OEM replacement for Ruskin damper systems
Application
The FL165-B fusible link is used in commercial and industrial HVAC installations where fire and smoke dampers are required by code. When ambient temperatures rise to the link’s rated threshold — typically due to a fire event — the link separates, triggering the damper to close and compartmentalize the affected area. This makes it an essential component in any fire-rated duct penetration or smoke control system.
