  1. Fire Safe Fusible Link Valves for Automatic Shut-Off API 607 Ball Valves and Butterfly Valves 2” -24” Link temperatures from 135°F to 440°F FM Approval on all fusible link assemblies

  3. Specialty Safety Products: Fire Safe Valves Overview of Fusible Link Assemblies • Automatic shutoff in case of fire or exposure to elevated heat conditions • Used in process lines to contain the media in a safe location or in fire suppression systems • Used with API 607 ball and butterfly valves (1/4” through 24” sizes) • For pipelines conveying flammable media in either liquid or gas form • Valve can be operated even while spring pack is armed • Remote shut-off options • Torque output options to 21,000 inch pounds

  4. Specialty Safety Products: Fire Safe Valves Applications and Industries Served • Tank Farms • Biodiesel, Ethanol and Alternative Fuels • Petrochemical • Oil and Gas Pipelines • Boiler Systems • Paint and Toxic Chemicals • Hospitals/Generator Systems • To meet insurance, FM or OSHA requirements • Release of fire retardants (Fail OPEN) • ANY plant with flammable liquids or gasses

  5. Specialty Safety Products: Fire Safe Valves Main Features • Automatic shut-off in case of fire • API 607 fire safe design/approval on all valves • Full FM approval • Ball valves from ¼” through 4” with NPT, socket weld or 150# flanged ends • Butterfly valves from 2” through 24” in lug or wafer style connections • Valve can be operated even while spring pack is armed • Heavy duty all stainless steel arming plate • Patented clock spring design • Industrial-style ball and butterfly valves in carbon steel or stainless steel with multiple seat options

  6. Specialty Safety Products: Fire Safe Valves How fire safe fusible link valves work Fusible link • The spring pack is armed in the full CCW position. Note: the valve can still be opened and closed manually even while the spring pack is armed. • The fusible link holds the spring pack in the designated position (for fail open or fail close). • When the soldered fusible link breaks, spring pack will rotate the drive coupler and tripper arm clockwise no matter what position the handle is in. • Most applications are fail closed; once the valve is in the closed position, it will cut off the flow of flammable media to the pipeline. spring pack Tripper arm SS arming plate

  7. Specialty Safety Products: Fire Safe Valves What makes a valve “fire safe”? • Graphoil body seals prevent any leakage past the ball or disc; graphoil stem packing prevents leakage through the top of the valve • Tongue and groove body seal design • Blow-out proof stem • Seats can be TFE, RTFE, PEEK, Nova or Delrin • Meets API (American Petroleum Institute) 607 standards for withstanding extended high temperature conditions without leakage at full pressure rating • Metal-to-metal contact reduces threat of leakage Integral tongue & groove Graphoil seal

  8. Specialty Safety Products: Fire Safe Valves Our design versus others you might encounter • True “industrial style” full port ball valve, not a check valve • Higher pressure ratings • Can be manually operated • Easy to re-set in the field • Simple maintenance and repair of valves in the field • No need to remove ball valves from the pipeline for repair/maintenance • Can be retrofit to customer-owned or plant-specified valves

  9. Specialty Safety Products: Fire Safe Valves Options • Valve monitoring • Remote shut off • On-site installation with our technicians • Retrofit to customer-owned valves Proximity sensors/limit switch options for open and closed positions Remote shut-off of fusible link from 24VDC power source

  10. Specialty Safety Products: Fire Safe Valves FUSIBLE LINK ASSEMBLIES FOR FIRE PROTECTION FUSIBLE LINK PACKAGES • Ball valves with NPT ends ½” - 2” • 2000PSI • RTFE, TFE, Delrin and Peek seat options • API607 fire safe • Carbon steel or SS construction • Ball valves with flanged ends ½” - 4” • 150# ANSI flanged • RTFE seats and graphoil seals • API607 fire safe • Carbon steel or SS construction

  11. Specialty Safety Products: Fire Safe Valves FUSIBLE LINK ASSEMBLIES FOR FIRE PROTECTION BT-Series FOR VALVES UP TO 21,000# TORQUE LT-Series FOR VALVES UP TO 150# TORQUE MT-Series FOR VALVES UP TO 830# TORQUE HT-Series FOR VALVES UP TO 1800# TORQUE

  12. Specialty Safety Products: Fire Safe Valves FUSIBLE LINK ASSEMBLIES FOR FIRE PROTECTION • Also available for retrofit to any API607 ball or butterfly valve • Here are a few of the valve manufacturers we have made fusible link assemblies for: • ABZ • BRAY • DEZURIK • FNW • FLO-TITE • FLOW-TEK • HABONIM • JAMESBURY • MARWIN • SHARPE VALVE • SVF FLOW CONTROLS • TYCO FLOW CONTROLS

  13. Specialty Safety Products: Fire Safe Valves FUSIBLE LINK ASSEMBLIES FOR FIRE PROTECTION Here are a just a few of the END USERS who use our product: • Abbott Pharmaceutical • Archer Daniels Midland • Briggs & Stratton • BP Products • Cardinal Health • Cargill • Consumer Energy • Elgin Sweepers • Georgia Pacific • Gillette • Harley-Davidson • Honda • La Farge • Marathon-Ashland • Nissan North America • Procter & Gamble • Rustoleum • Toyota

  14. Specialty Safety Products: Fire Safe Valves SAMPLE APPLICATION #1: Marathon-Ashland • Location: Canton, OH • Application: fusible link assemblies designed to fail close at a diesel truck re-fueling station • Marathon had been using a competitor’s non-industrial style fusible link on a 3” pipeline and they were not holding up in the application because of constant cycling • Our assemblies have been in line for over 5 years without failure or maintenance

  15. Specialty Safety Products: Fire Safe Valves SAMPLE APPLICATION #2: SKF USA • Location: Armada, MI • Application: fusible link assemblies designed to fail close on EDM (Electrical Discharge) machines that are used to remove material and reshape precision steel parts to obtain desired finish and accuracy • High flash points of electrodes/liquid in process recently resulted in a fire at another one of SKF’s locations. FM inspectors now require BI-TORQ fusible link valves on each port off of their dielectric tanks • Four assemblies were installed last month and approved by FM and OSHA inspectors

  16. Specialty Safety Products: Fire Safe Valves Optional Fusible Plug • A cost-effective option when plant air is available • Used with a spring return pneumatic actuator • Functions open-closed as a standard pneumatically actuated valve. • Plug allows air to vent to atmosphere, causing springs to turn actuator CW to close

  17. Specialty Safety Products: Fire Safe Valves AUTOMATED VALVES FOR FIRE PROTECTION • PNEUMATICALLY ACTUATED API607 FIRE RATED BALL VALVES • Spring return or double acting rack and pinion design • ISO direct mounting of valves and accessories • NAMUR pattern for solenoid mounting • ½” through 4” WCB or SS ball valves with NPT or ANSI flanged ends • ELECTRICALLY ACTUATED API607 FIRE RATED BALL VALVES • On-off or 4-20mA modulating electric actuators • 120VAC, 220VAC, 24VAC, 12VDC and 24VDC • Variety of options, including heaters and thermostats, timers, relays, auxiliary switches and more • ½” through 4” WCB or SS ball valves with NPT or ANSI flanged ends
