Duct Control Building Code Requirements.

Firestat Duct Limit Switches are designed to control louvers and other shutdown devices within HVAC systems, adhering to Duct Control Building Code Requirements across various regions. These mechanical switches shut down HVAC systems in ducts when temperatures hit a preset level, ensuring compliance with regulations. Reach out to us for more information on our adherence to mechanical building codes. For further information regarding our compliance with mechanical building codes, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

These manual switches are suitable for different duct systems in residential and commercial settings. After activation, manual resetting is required to restart the system and prevent fire spread to other parts of a building.

Firestat Duct Limit Switches provide an effective solution for multifamily buildings, designed to stop fire and smoke from spreading through ducts. They manage louvers and other duct system components when air temperature surpasses a preset threshold. This is particularly vital in states such as North Carolina and Louisiana.

Duct Control Building Code Requirements

Fixed Duct Limit Controls

In states with specific requirements for low airflow rates (2,000 CFM or lower) when using heat pumps, our Firestat Duct Limit Switches satisfy these conditions, ensuring safety in multifamily homes and schools. Externally mounted on air ducts, Firestat Controllers use a bi-metal element to detect temperature changes and open the circuit when temperatures reach 100°F to 250°F, cutting off the fan or other duct system devices.

Our Firestat Duct Limit Switches comply with strict mechanical building codes across multiple states, including North Carolina (Mechanical Building Code 607.3.1), Louisiana (Mechanical Building Code 717.3), CSFM California State Fire Marshall Listing #3225-0981:103, and New York City MEA #260-91-M.

We design and engineer our products to meet or exceed the extensive range of regulations set by different states, ensuring compliance with Duct Control Building Code Requirements in places like California, New York, and North Carolina. Our focus on safety and performance guarantees that our products align with the highest standards across diverse jurisdictions.

CEMCO Duct Limit Switches

The Firestat Duct Fan and Limit Thermostat Switches operate using the same physics to ensure HVAC safety. A helix bi-metal element senses a rapid temperature change. When the temperature changes the bi-metal expands and triggers a snap action switch and either opens or closes a circuit. These switches are commonly installed in air ducts designed to shut down heating, air conditioning and ventilation equipment in apartment complexes and other multiple dwelling units when air temperature exceeds the set point.
