Other Features
The ‘TFV’ Fuelstop Capillary Fire Valve sets a new standard in fire valve technology as the pioneer capillary-operated valve featuring an integrated shut-off function within its reset mechanism. Choose from a range of capillary lengths, including options at 72 degrees and 95 degrees, ensuring versatility to suit diverse needs.
- Flow rate: 180 litres per hr /1.2m head
- All TFV’s are available with an integral volt free changeover switch, rated at 5 amp 240V ac, see our TFV/E Range. Also available are TFV support brackets for wall mounting and phial clips for the correct positioning of the sensor phial within the appliance casing.
- 66°C to 72°C and 86°C to 95°C, the upper temperature limits of 72C and 95C are used to indicate the individual ranges.
- High flow rate characteristics, making them ideal for suction lift applications, 1/2″ valves are rated at 360 litres/hr, measured at a 1.2m head.
- All TFV’s are suitable for use with suction or gravity head fuel systems at pressures of –0.8 bar vacuum and 3 bar positive head.
- 66°C to 72°C and 86°C to 95°C, the upper temperature limits of 72C and 95C are used to indicate the individual ranges.
All TFV fire valves are suitable for use with Class C and D fuels as well as LPG, and provide automatic shut off in the event of an overheat within a fuel burning appliance and fail safe shut off in the event of capillary or sensor failure.
Made by Fuelstop, which is owned by us here at Atkinson Equipment, is arguably the best quality Fire Valve in existence today… and its British made! Fluid filled capillary and bellows means that it is more responsive (than other air filled capillary and bellows on the market). We can therefore set the trip mechanism with more tolerance (this does not have to be set on a hair trigger), which results in zero nuisance tripping and within a tighter trip range.
