 The FEL Valves range of Free Fall Fire Valves are suitable
for installation in either horizontal or vertical pipe
work, and are designed to provide a positive, 100% shut
off when used as a fuel isolating valve, or opening,
when used as a fuel dump valve.
A standard Free Fall Valve assembly comprises of a
valve, lever and weight, together with a fitting kit.
All standard valves are manufactured in cast iron
to ASTM A126 Gr B and are approved by both the American
Gas Association and Canadian Gas Association, as well
as being ‘UL’ listed. All valves are suitable
for use with fuel oils and gases at pressures up to
14 bar. Valves with screwed connections have bsp parallel
threads, whilst flanged valves are available with either
BS 4504 PN 16 flange drillings or to ANSI 125.
FEL Free Fall Fire Valves are also available with
carbon or stainless steel body and plug materials. Standard Fire Valves are supplied with a ‘650 Lubricating
Compound’, which is a general purpose sealant,
suitable for hydrocarbons, other Lubricating Compounds
are available, if you are unsure of the suitability
of the 650 Compound for your specific application,
please
contact us for further details.
Free Fall Valves may be actuated mechanically or electrically.
The majority of installations use mechanical actuation
by fusible link, therefore each Fire Valve is supplied
with a Fire Valve Kit, available in three sizes, Small
(15 to 50mm nb valves), Medium (65 to 100mm nb valves)
and Large (125 to 200mm nb valves). Kits contain varying
numbers of Pulley Wheels, Stainless Steel Cable, Fusible
Links, Warning Signs, Cable Connectors and Tension
Springs, any of which may be purchased as individual
products.
Electrically actuated Fire Valve systems utilise
a standard valve, lever and weight, however an electrical
Release System is used, essentially, allowing actuation
by making or breaking an electrical circuit. The
installation
of a valve mounted Mercury Switch, Electro Mechanical
Release or Wall Mounted Changeover Switch may provide
remote signalling of the Fire Valve status, or allow
direct switching of electrical equipment where applicable.
