Ruskin fire and combination fire and smoke dampers can be mounted horizontally in UL design I503.<\/figcaption><\/figure>The Ruskin<\/a> portfolio of life safety solutions includes more than 70 models of 1\u00bd-hour rated fire and combination fire\/smoke dampers that can be mounted horizontally in UL design I503. The I503 design is a two-hour fire-rated protective membrane made from steel studs and gypsum board. Until recently, UL555 fire dampers were only to be applied in concrete\/masonry construction for horizontal applications.<\/p>\n

Combined with the flexibility that UL design I503 offers, the Ruskin FSD-LP series provides an energy saving choice for building owners for its airflow performance. In addition, the Ruskin DFD-LP provides installation and maintenance-friendly features.<\/p>\n

Ruskin UL-listed solutions are available with a variety of features and options. To learn more, visit the Ruskin website<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
