Elsie Manufacturing B165 Fusible Link
The Elsie Manufacturing B165 Fusible Link is a critical passive fire protection component designed for automatic closure systems in HVAC ductwork, fire doors, and dampers. Engineering for a 165 degree Fahrenheit (74°C) release point, this B-type link utilizes a precise eutectic alloy that melts at the rated temperature, allowing the spring-loaded or gravity-driven mechanism to activate. Maintaining a compact footprint, this replacement fusible link features a total length of 1.5 inches, a width of .563 inches, and a center-to-center distance of .938 inches between the connection points. These fusible link specifications ensure compatibility with standard UL-listed fire dampers and ventilation hoods requiring a low-temperature trigger. For contractors performing preventative maintenance on fire dampers, the B165 provides a reliable thermal release mechanism that meets NFPA requirements for life safety systems. Its robust construction ensures stability under static loads until the critical temperature threshold is reached.
Key Benefits
- Precise Thermal Activation: Rated for exactly 165°F to ensure timely closure of fire barriers and dampers.
- Standardized Dimensions: Standard 1.5" length and .938" center-to-center spacing for seamless integration into existing fire damper hardware.
- Durable B-Type Design: Manufactured to withstand typical tension loads found in commercial and industrial HVAC air handling units.
- Regulatory Compliance: Essential component for maintaining building code standards and ensuring automatic fire door closure functionality.
Common Questions
How do I know if the Elsie B165 is the correct replacement for my system?
Verify the stamped temperature rating on your current link and measure the distance between the two centers; this model requires a .938" center-to-center spacing.
Can these links be reused after a high-temperature event?
No, UL listed fusible links are one-time-use safety devices. If the eutectic alloy has melted or the link has been compromised by heat, it must be replaced immediately.
Does the orientation of the B165 impact its performance?
As long as the link is under the proper tension and remains unobstructed within the airflow or closure path, it will function as intended when the ambient temperature reaches 165°F.
