The Fire Retarding “Star” Ventilator
THE Roof of this Ventilator is movable vertically, and is held in its highest open position by a lever movement, controlled by a fusible link. In case of a fire the Link parts and the top drops down by gravity, closing the opening
The top is also a Damper itself, as by regulating the chain length the opening is partially or wholly closable at any time, and still retaining its automatic closing feature in case of fire. Therefore, we offer the
st. The Automatic Fire Retarding “ Star ” Ventilator. ALL IN COMBINATION 2nd. A Controllable Damper. ONE
Hundreds of these Ventilators now in use. They are absolutely storm-proof, and our Ventilators have a proven speed of air exhaust in excess of any other made.
Can be supplied with Glass Top. Simpler and with fewest parts made. Also lightest in total weight, without sacrifice of proper gauge.
