Fire and Smoke Damper Testing
Guarding Lives, Protecting Property Through Regulatory Compliance
Comprehensive Fire Dampers Surveying and Testing by Full Flow HVAC
What Are Fire Dampers?
Fire dampers serve as passive fire protection devices within HVAC ductwork, helping to prevent the rapid propagation of fire and smoke, thus allowing for safe evacuation.
Risks of Neglected Maintenance. Failure to maintain or improperly install these critical safety mechanisms can result in significant hazards, putting both lives and property at risk. Designed to automatically close upon detecting fire, fire dampers effectively restrict its spread through the building’s ductwork. Fire dampers can be triggered either thermally, through a fusible link or a bi-metallic strip, or electrically via integrated smoke and fire detectors.
