Factory Mutual\u2019s rigorous testing of the FM Fire-Safe ensures the quality and reliability of the shutdown system. Factory Mutual certifies that the FM Fire-Safe emergency shutdown valves<\/a> * have been tested and will protect properties from loss according to their internationally recognized FM 7440 standard for liquid and gas safety shutoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet this standard, the FM Fire-Safe emergency shutdown valves<\/a> with thermal shutoff actuators undergo rigorous testing over a wide temperature range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergency shutdown ESD ball valves with Fire-Tite\u00ae seat and seals meet the safety requirements of API 607. The integrity of the Fire-Tite\u00ae seals is maintained at temperatures up to 1800\u00b0F for at least 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The valves are approved for all media types, including flammable gases, liquids and toxic fluids. When the ambient temperature reaches its trigger temperture due to fire conditions. the FM Fire-Safe automatically closes a normally open valve to shut down the flow of flammable media, or opens a normally closed valve to release fire retardants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a wide selection of options that include a 3-piece ball valve assembly, a flanged ball valve assembly, a butterfly valve assembly, and options for both thermal and electro-thermal shutoffs, the FM Fire-Safe is preferred choice for emergency shut down systems for fuel, oil and gas systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the FM Fire-Safe does not require an air supply, and is well suited for both local and remote locations, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
