BI-TORQ® Valve Automation's fusible link shut-off valve assemblies used in systems requiring automatic shut-off in case of a fire have received Factory Mutual (FM) approval. These state-of-the-art assemblies prevent the spread of fire by containing flammable liquids or gasses once the API 607 (American Petroleum Institute) fire-safe certified valve automatically closes based on thermal release of a fusible link.
