OverviewFree‑fall fire valves for generator sets and plant rooms, designed for both fuel shut‑off (cut‑off) and fuel dump applications. Activation occurs by melting of a fusible link or via optional devices such as manual quick release, panic buttons, SQR (electrical) actuation, or main fire alarm / BMS interface.
Available models- FEL 20-001
- FEL 20-003
- FEL 20-005
- FEL 20-007
- FEL 20-009
- FEL 20-011
Operation & linkageThe valves use a free‑fall linkage (dead weight / drop arm) that allows the weight to gain momentum before releasing the valve lever, ensuring a rapid and reliable mechanical actuation.
