ESOV series ANSI flanged swing-check valves with fusible links are designed to provide a simple yet effective method of closing in an emergency or hazardous situation. The valves are designed with an external spring load and held in the open position with the fire-sensitive fusible link. The valve will automatically close when the link melts due to fire or high temperatures. The external lever rotates the hinge pin which drives the disc into the closed position, stopping the flow of the liquid, gas or vapor.
