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

Applications and Industries Served 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

How fire safe fusible link valves work 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

What makes a valve “fire safe”? Specialty Safety Products: Fire Safe Valves What makes a valve “fire safe”? Integral tongue & groove 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 Graphoil seal

Our design versus others you might encounter 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

SAMPLE APPLICATION #1: Marathon-Ashland 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

SAMPLE APPLICATION #2: SKF USA 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
