Assured Automation's FM Fire-Safe Thermal & Electro-Thermal ball & butterfly valve assemblies these valves are suitable for flammable gas or liquid applications. The thermal links, which respond to temperature changes, automatically close or open the valve at specific trigger temperatures. Additionally, a manual lever or gear operator is available to operate the valve manually without interfering with the fusible link.

Assured Automation makes it easy to configure the FM FIre-Safe Shutoff to meet the specs of your installation. The online configurator produces the part number, price, and quote.

The FM Fire-Safe Shutoff assemblies from Assured Automation are API 607 approved for flammable liquids and gases, and are commonly used to:

• To shut down hazardous lines when fire occurs, and
• Activate sprinkler systems to control fire

These assemblies consist of ball or butterfly valves that can be manually operated. In the event of a fire, the thermal link will either automatically halt the flow of flammable liquids or gases in a normally open configuration or open the flow to dispense a fire retardant or divert the flammable substance in a normally closed configuration.

The FM Fire-Safe is also available with an electro-thermal link (ETL) which is compatible with most smoke or gas detectors. The electro-thermal alternative is employed in fuel and combustion control applications, combustion safeguards, and electro-signaling systems that are triggered by heat, smoke or gas, flame energy, or a maximum temperature or rate of increase.
