Case Study: Mahaska County Hospital modernizes hospital ventilation and code compliance with Ruskin’s FSD60V combination fire/smoke damper

Mahaska County Hospital updates 36-inch shafts on time with Ruskin

Mahaska County Hospital faced a challenge when retrofitting the mechanical system in its multi-story wing. The existing 36-inch wide ventilation shafts were too narrow for standard dampers, and the system lacked the fire and smoke dampers required to meet current codes. Ruskin provided a solution with its FSD60V combination fire/smoke damper.

The Ruskin FSD60V's unique design allowed it to be installed with the actuator on the top, making it the ideal fit for the hospital's narrow space constraints. This enabled the hospital to bring its system fully up to code without expensive new construction or a redesign. With the use of Ruskin's product, the project was completed both on time and economically.
