Elsie Manufacturing A165 Fusible Link
The Elsie Manufacturing A165 Fusible Link is a critical safety component designed for the automatic closure of chute discharge doors and fire damper systems. For technicians specializing in waste management and HVAC life safety, this 165°F (74°C) link provides the necessary thermal trigger to isolate sections during a fire event. Constructed from high-tensile steel with a 2.625" total length and a 0.875" width, its 1.750" center-to-center spacing ensures compatibility with standard fusible link replacements across various industrial platforms. This assembly includes two stainless steel S-hooks (B165-SHORT HOOK) to facilitate secure installation and maintain tension in high-vibration chute environments.
This 165 degree fusible link is a direct OEM solution compatible with leading brands including Wilkinson Chutes, Midland Metalcraft, Chutes International, and Ruskin dampers. Its reinforced ends are specifically engineered to interface with damper actuators, straps, and hooks, ensuring a consistent fusible link fire safety rating for trash, laundry, and recycling chute systems. When ambient temperatures reach the 165°F threshold, the eutectic alloy melts, triggering the mechanical closure of the door to prevent the vertical spread of smoke and flame.
Key Benefits for Technicians:- Universal Compatibility: Fits Acme, Century, US Chutes, and Dayton damper systems, reducing the need for multiple SKUs.
- Corrosion Resistance: Includes stainless steel hooks to prevent binding in high-moisture laundry and waste environments.
- Standardized Thermal Response: The 165°F rating meets the most common fire code requirements for laundry chute discharge doors and air dampers.
- Robust Build: High-quality steel construction resists mechanical fatigue in heavy-duty commercial applications.
What is the proper orientation for installing the A165 link?
The link should be installed under tension using the provided stainless steel S-hooks. Ensure the 1.750" center spacing aligns with your shutter or door release mechanism to avoid premature mechanical failure.
Can this link be used in NFPA 80 fire damper applications?
Yes, provided the system specification requires a 165°F thermal release. It is frequently employed in fire damper systems from Lloyd Industries and Ruskin.
Is the A165 reusable after a fire event?
No. As a sacrificial safety component, the link must be replaced immediately following any thermal activation or if the eutectic solder shows signs of creep or degradation.
