Static duct fire dampers.
Fire damper in hvac duct.
Heavy duty coil spring drives the fire damper curtain closed.
Dynamic fire damper styles.
Dampers meet ul 555 fire safety standards to help prevent the spread of fire for 1 hours.
Fire dampers are ul555 tested and labeled devices installed in ducts and air transfer openings or air distribution systems designed to close upon the detection of heat.
According to nfpa 90a 2012 section 5 3 2 1 where air ducts extend through only.
In the event of a fire these dampers automatically stop airflow through duct.
They have a fusible link that melts at 165 f releasing a spring and causing the blades to close.
Yes it is and the inspector is correct.
Static fire dampers are used in applications where the fans shut down during fire and smoke control.
They can accommodate airflow in either direction.
If your hvac keeps air flowing during an emergency your hvac unit will have a dynamic fire damper.
Static fire dampers can be used in both vertical and horizontal positions.
We are installing a new hvac system in the basement of the hospital.
These fire smoke dampers are designed for use in hvac systems requiring emergency fire smoke control.
Dynamic duct fire dampers.
Fusible link melts releasing the fire damper curtain.
They are also recommended for use in duct systems or penetrations of fire rated barriers designed to have pressurized airflow when dampers cycle closed during a fire.
