BLAZESHIELD (API 607 FIRE SAFE BALL VALVE WITH FM & UL LISTED FUSIBLE LINK (MADE IN USA))

Fusible Link valves (FLV) offers several advantages for maximizing a facility's overall fire safety program: Isolation of Tanks: By installing FLV at the tank level, the valves can isolate individual tanks in the event of a fire or hazardous situation. This prevents the flammable or hazardous media from flowing downstream and potentially exacerbating the fire or creating additional hazards for emergency responders. In cases where the media is toxic, keeping it contained at its source is crucial to protect both responders and the surrounding environment. This isolation also allows emergency responders to assess the situation more effectively, as they know the media is confined to the isolated area. Whenever possible, FLV should be positioned closest to the tank outlet to ensure prompt isolation.

Flow Stoppage in Piping Systems: FLV placed at critical junctures within a piping system serve as an additional line of defense. If the FLV are activated, they can quickly stop the flow of contents within the pipes. This feature becomes especially important in scenarios where pipes rupture, fittings break, or leaks occur at various points in the system. By halting the flow, FLV prevent the pipe contents from spreading freely throughout buildings or reaching other key areas within the system. This containment minimizes the potential for fire escalation, damage, or harm to personnel.

Removal of Human Factor: The utilization of TSVs effectively removes the human factor from the loop in emergency situations. Instead of relying on manual valve closures or initiating a sequence from a control panel, TSVs automatically respond to hazardous conditions. This automation ensures rapid and consistent containment of flammable or toxic media. By eliminating the need for human intervention, the risk of delays, errors, or failures associated with manual actions is significantly reduced. In summary, the strategic placement of thermal shut-off valves offers enhanced fire safety by isolating tanks, preventing the spread of hazardous media in piping systems, and removing the human factor from emergency response processes.

How BLAZESHIELD works? The valve is equipped with a fusible link, which is a heat-sensitive component that melts at a specific temperature. When the temperature in the surrounding environment reaches the melting point, the link breaks and triggers the valve to close. This prevents the release of hazardous materials, such as flammable liquids or gases, and helps to protect people and property form potential damage.
