DAYTON 2TGJ3 Fusible Link, 165 deg F, 1/2 Inch Width, 1-1/2 Inch Height

Dayton 2TGJ3 fusible link is a safety device used in conjunction with fire dampers to melt and break in the event of extreme heat, preventing the spread of fire or damage to equipment. Commonly used in sprinkler systems, HVAC units and automotive applications, fusible links act as a fail-safe mechanism, shutting down operations when temperatures rise significantly.

Working Mechanism:

• It consists of a specialised wire that intentionally melts when exposed to temperatures beyond a predetermined threshold.
• The link's material is chosen for its low melting point and is integrated into systems alongside mechanical or electrical mechanisms.
• When the ambient temperature rises to the set melting point, the link melts, causing disruptions in associated connections.

Features:

• Dayton 2TGJ3 fusible link is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 165 degrees F.
• This fusible link reacts to preset temperatures and triggers safety measures on sensing a rise in temperature above the preset level.
• It is suitable for fire suppression systems as it ensures prompt response when temperature increases suddenly.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What should I do if this Dayton 2TGJ3 fusible link melts unexpectedly?

A. If the link melts unexpectedly, it's essential to investigate the cause, possibly related to high temperatures or system malfunctions. Address the underlying issue before replacing the link.

Q. How does a fusible link work in a fire protection system?

A. In a fire protection system, a fusible link is used to hold a mechanism, like a fire door. When exposed to heat from a fire, the link melts, releasing the mechanism and allowing the fire safety system to activate.

Q. How do I test a fusible link?

A. To test a fusible link, use a multimeter to check for continuity. If the link is intact, it should have continuity and if it's blown, there will be no continuity.
