The Remote Acting Oil Fire Valve plays an important role in oil heating system safety by automatically closing when exposed to high temperatures. Recommended under BS5410 guidance, this oil supply line fire valve helps reduce fire risk by isolating the main fuel supply and stopping additional fuel from reaching the source of a fire.
Essential Fire Protection for Oil Heating Systems
This remote acting fire valve uses a capillary sensor that responds to excessive heat. When triggered, the valve closes tightly to stop fuel flow from the storage tank, helping limit fire spread and potential damage.
Reliable Automatic Shut Off Function
Designed as an oil tank fire shut off valve, the unit closes as a precaution when the sensor reaches its activation temperature. Once closed, the valve remains shut until manually reset, ensuring safe operation after a fire event.
Suitable for Domestic and Commercial Fuel Applications
The valve is compatible with class C2 and D fuels to BS2869, making it suitable for a variety of oil heating installations. Its versatile design allows for both horizontal and vertical fitting depending on system layout.
Durable Construction and Approved Performance
Manufactured with a brass body for durability, the valve offers dependable long-term operation. It is BSRIA approved to OFS E101:1998, providing additional confidence in safety and performance standards.
