Additional Notes

The 51BVS/51BHS is UL/ULC certified for use as a 1-1/2 hour static fire damper in HVAC systems.

The 51BVS/51BHS is designed for installation in fire-rated wall and floor assemblies where the HVAC system fans shut down automatically on fire alarm activation. The Type B configuration locates the blades above the direct airflow path, making it suitable for applications where the duct transitions into the fire separation at a different elevation. The interlocking curtain blade closes under spring tension when the fusible link releases, providing a reliable passive fire barrier at duct penetrations.
