A gas pipe terminal assembly for minimization of fire hazards associated with conductance of a flammable substance. The system includes a pipe having a flange at each end. Each flange includes at least one check valve and a flame screen mounted in the interior of the flange to control a gas flow through the flange. The flange includes wire guide holes and set screw holes within the outside diameter of the pipe, and at least one wire segment in tension inside the pipe and connected to at least one fusible link. At least one fusible link is configured to fuse upon exposure to a temperature above 100 C. and thereby release the tension and activate at least one fire suppression device.

A fire damper for a ventilating fan includes a shutter and a frame provided with a flange. An opening is defined through the flange. The frame is further provided with a movable component for opening or closing the preformed opening.

A system that deploys attic vent covers when there is the immediate threat of fire, as well as methods and device relating thereto, is disclosed. This system includes varied cover types and deployment methods to utilize with a range of attic vents found suitable for use in residential and commercial construction.

Apparatus contemplating a damper apparatus for controlling airflow through a ductwork in an air handling system. The damper has a stationary plenum having a collar defining a through opening. A damper blade assembly has a rigid damper blade defining a substantially flat area sized larger than a cross-sectional area of the through opening. The damper blade is selectively positionable between an open position in which the flat area is retained parallel to the collar and thereby clearingly disengages the plenum to open the through opening an thereby permit the airflow to pass through the plenum, and a closed position in which the flat area is perpendicular to the collar and engages against the collar to close the through opening and thereby prevent the airflow from passing through the plenum.

A firewall access door includes a rectangular door frame with a rectangular door coupled there to by at least one door hinge. The door consists of a first rectangular pan member and a decorative gypsum wall panel mated together. The door further includes a second rectangular pan member having a flat surface with opposite side walls extending perpendicular from a flat surface of the second rectangular pan member. The side walls of the second rectangular pan member have flanges for mounting to a back surface of the first pan member opposite the gypsum panel and adjacent the side walls of the first rectangular pan member. The second pan member spans the back of the first rectangular pan member and forms an air gap between the flat surface and the back of the rectangular pan member.

There is described an actuator device comprising a single molded housing, a linear bridge feature, a spring hook retention feature, and a power spring. The single molded housing is formed by integrating the linear bridge feature across the single molded housing and the spring hook retention feature to one side of the linear bridge feature. The power spring is inserted laterally through the linear bridge feature of the actuator device. The power spring includes a spring hook at one end, and the spring hook of the power spring attaches to the spring hook retention feature of the actuator device. The power spring applies, at least in part, a torque to a control shaft coupled to the actuator device.

A fire damper for a ventilating fan includes a shutter and a frame provided with a flange. A preformed opening is provided on the frame. The frame is further provided with a movable component for opening or closing the preformed opening. This has the advantage of being able to share parts with others.

A backdraft damper assembly is shown and described herein. In one embodiment, a damper assembly comprises: a main body, the main body having an inner surface defining throat, the throat defining an axial fluid flow path; a first door, the first door being hingedly connected within the main body; and a second door, the second door being hingedly connected within the main body, the damper assembly being transitionable between an open configuration and a closed configuration, at least a portion of each of the first door and the second door being received within a portion of the inner surface of the main body when the damper assembly is in the open configuration, such that the first door and the second door are not within the axial fluid flow path.
