Fusible Link Temperature and Replacement

What fusible link temperature does spec require? Avoid touching directly during install?

I'm checking fusible link temperature and replacement at [location]. I found small metal device with solder holding plates, attached to damper linkage. What fusible link temperature does spec require? Avoid touching directly during install?

Stop if

• Hold point on fusible link temperature and replacement: I have the location, photo, drawing/detail, and what was checked. Who should verify before this gets cut, covered, lifted, sealed, energized, or signed off?

Watch out

• Don't touch with bare hands (oils affect melting point). Don't install damaged link. Don't guess temperature rating.

Check

• room/grid/area
• photo of condition
• drawing/detail
• manufacturer/model if visible
• what I already checked
