What sets FDB2 apart?

Halton Marine has manufactured FDB-type fire and gas dampers over 20 years.

During the years, the FDB2s have gone through a substantial amount of different testing like fire testing, leakage testing, shock testing and even cold condition testing. The damper is approved by most recognized classification societies in the world. As a quality procedure, the functionality of each individual damper is tested and verified before accepted as Halton FDB2.
