Ruskin FL165-B Fusable Link
The Ruskin FL165-B Fusable Link is a critical UL-classified heat-responsive device designed for precise fire safety management. This 165-degree temperature rating link serves as the primary thermal trigger for life safety dampers, ensuring rapid mechanical closure when ambient temperatures reach the 165°F set point. Engineered as the direct replacement for FL165-J, the FL165-B update maintains exact physical and performance parity for existing installations. In a fire event, the link’s specialized solder melts, allowing the damper’s spring-loaded blades to snap shut, effectively compartmentalizing smoke and flames within the HVAC system. High-volume fire damper parts like this are essential for maintaining NFPA 90A compliance and ensuring that curtain-style or multi-blade dampers operate according to their 1-1/2 or 3-hour fire ratings. For technicians, using this HVAC fusible link ensures a reliable mechanical fail-safe that does not rely on electrical power to secure the building envelope.
Key Benefits- Universal Compatibility: Serves as a 165°F replacement fusible link for Ruskin IBD, CFD, and FDR series fire dampers.
- Direct Legacy Swap: Matches the form and function of the older FL165-J model for seamless field retrofits.
- Thermal Precision: Calibrated to melt at exactly 165°F (74°C) to meet strict UL 555 safety standards.
- Corrosion Resistant: Built from durable alloys to withstand the variable humidity and airflow speeds found in commercial ducting.
Is the FL165-B compatible with my existing Ruskin fire damper?
Yes, if your damper originally utilized the FL165-J or requires a 165-degree "Issue B" link configuration, the FL165-B is the specified replacement. It is used extensively in (D)IBD, IBDT, and FDR25 models.
Can I use this link in a smoke damper?
This component is a mechanical thermal link for fire dampers and static/dynamic fire protection. For combination fire-smoke dampers utilizing actuators, verify if your system requires an Electronic Fuse Link (EFL) rather than a mechanical fusible link.
How often should these links be inspected?
Per NFPA guidelines, duct fire protection components should be inspected during regular damper testing to ensure the link is not corroded, painted over, or showing signs of physical fatigue.
