Fusible links are temperature sensitive fire protection devices designed to be part of a fire protection system. The system is activated when the ambient temperature increases to the point that causes the fusible link to “break-apart”. At the point of breakage, it releases the pre-loaded fire protection device, thus restricting the spread of fire. Elsie fusible links are manufactured under the most rigid quality procedures to assure the highest possible degree of uniformity and “break-away” reliability.
Elsie fusible links have been applied all over the world in such products as pressure tanks, damper doors, fire doors, parts washers, gas pumps, sprinkler systems, safes and chimneys.
Many different applications have been analyzed and solved either with a standard or custom produced fusible link.
