Fire Smoke Dampers (FSD) are located at HVAC duct penetrations through fire rated walls, ceilings, and floors. The function of these devices is to prevent fire and smoke from propagating through HVAC ductwork—giving occupants time to exit the facility and help minimize building damage in the case of a fire. Testing and maintaining Fire Smoke Dampers verifies and documents that critical FLS building systems operate as required. For more information on FSD, please click here.
