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
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
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
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
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
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
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

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
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
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
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
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
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
