The Remote Acting Oil Fire Valve is designed to safeguard against the risk of fuel being fed into the fire. When fitted to an oil supply line, fire safety valves can help to prevent total destruction by fire, which is why British Standard BS5410 states that oil supply lines should be protected by these valves. When the capillary sensors are exposed to excessive heat the fire valve closes tightly, preventing the main storage tank from fuelling the fire. Once they close as a precaution, theseremote acting oil fire valves will not reopen unless it is manually reset.Cut off temperature of 66°C or 90°C (depending on model)

The Model 119-O fire safety oil shut-off valve combines an API rated oil shutoff valve with a fusible link making a complete 3rd party approved fire safety valve assembly for fuel oil applications.

Each valve is shipped with a red protective safety link that must be removed prior to putting the valve into operation. A hand lever or wheel is provided to manually close the valve regardless of the action of the spring pack. Once put into operation, the valve is held open against the torque of the spring pack by the fusible link. If subjected to temperatures greater than 165° F the fusible link melts and the valve slams closed.

The Model 119-O may be used in any oil fueling system to ensure positive oil shutoff in the event of a fire. This includes boiler rooms, diesel generator rooms, tank farms, refineries, and chemical plants. It must be installed in a horizontal run of pipe with the spring pack pointed upward.

Oil tank valves control the flow of oil in a heating system. Our offering includes heavy-duty oil control shutoff valves that are used as a shutoff valve for oil tanks.

Oil Line Safety Valve (OSV) control types & definitions: this article illustrates & defines the different types of controls & valves used on heating oil piping systems, including check valve, fusible link valve, fire-o-matic type valve, vacuum operated valves, quickstop valves, solenoid valves, and oil delay valves.

What is the difference among all these different kinds of valves used on oil piping and at the oil burner or oil tank: check valve, fusible link valve, fire-o-matic type valve, vacuum operated valves, quickstop valves, solenoid valves, and oil delay valves. It"s really confusing. - Anon 1/13/2012

We agree that there are enough valves and enough similarity in their names that the controls used at oil tanks, on oil piping, and at the oil burner to manage the flow of oil can be confusing. Worse, valves that do different things and have different purposes may all be called "oil safety valves" in marketing and technical literature.

Don"t confuse the built-in check valve in the fuel unit with external check valves, fusible link oil safety valves, solenoid operated quick-stop oil valves, and their sisters, solenoid operated oil delay valves.

Here is a list of the different types of controls & valves used on heating oil piping, oil burners, and at oil tanks in order to assure proper and safe flow of heating oil to oil-fired heating equipment such as boilers, furnaces & water heaters.

Oil line valves, check valves, oil safety valves or fusible link valves (OSVs), and de-aerators or air removing devices are all defined. We include links to individual articles giving details for the installation, operation, and troubleshooting of each of these oil line controls.

This anti-siphon valve is installed on the suction line exiting an above ground oil (or other liquid) storage tank to prevent accidental siphoning out of the tank should a leak occur in the piping downstream from the valve.

The valve is normally closed but will open when a dispenser pump is switched on. This product is provided by Envirosafe Above Ground Fuel Systems, 901 12th St., Clermont FL 34711, Tel: 800-555-4754, Website: http://abovegroundfuelstoragetanks.com, quoting:

Envirosafe™ Above-Ground Fuel Systems carries fuel tank check valves for above ground fuel tanks and other bulk fuel systems. We carry a variety of valves for bulk fuel tanks including vent valves, solenoid valves, by-pass valves, anti-siphon valves, and overfill prevention valves.

Some oil piping safety and valve controls combine features and use confusing names. Webster"s OSV is a vacuum-activated check valve that both protects against overpressure at the fuel pump and protects against spills in oil piping by preventing oil flow if a leak is large enough to prevent the oil burner fuel pump from drawing adequate vacuum in the line .

De-aerators or prime protection fittings are special devices are available to protect heating oil piping and oil burners from loss of prime. The oil burner on an oil fired heating appliance can lose prime and thus stop working if there is air in the oil piping system.

For some oil piping installations using No 2 home heating oil a foot valve may be installed at the suction line inlet in the oil tank; the foot valve acts much the same as a water well piping foot valve, keeping the oil piping system from losing prime by back-flow of oil out of the suction line into the oil tank when the fuel unit is not operating.

They are also a convenience for heating oil service technicians, allowing the service tech to turn off oil flow to change an oil filter or service the oil burner without creating an oil spill and a mess.

Really? the term OSV or oil safety valve can be a bit confusing because in addition to the fusible link type valve described here - a fire safety device - some companies use the term OSV or oil safety valve to refer to vacuum-operated devices intended to prevent oil line overpressure or to detect and stop oil line leaks.

The company also provides a 9095A Series AST overfill prevention valve that is used i a "tight fill" application terminating flow into the tank when the tank reaches a pre-set warning level (90-95% full). The company notes that spill containers can be used for added spill protection around the oil tank.

A PRV valve, such as Suntech Industries Inc."s Model PRV-38 is an oil safety valve that prevents oil from flowing out of an oil tank by gravity, or by siphoning action, when flow is not desired.

At the inlet side of the PRV valve, oil can be supplied under pressure or under a vacuum (depending on whether or not the oil burner fuel unit is running). But the PRV will not open to allow oil to flow unless it senses a vacuum.

This means that oil will not flow past this valve unless the oil burner and its fuel unit are operating. The effect is that this valve prevents oil from flowing out of an oil tank under any other conditions.

Really? These vacuum operated valves are called OSVs - a term used also for fusible link fire safety valves discussed above. But vacuum-operated OSVs are leak and oil line pressure protection devices, not fir safety devices.

In short, while a fusible-link Fir-o-matic type OSV valve provides fire protection at the oil burner, a vacuum-operated OSV or PRV provides protection against oil leaks and for some applications it protects against excessive oil pressure at the fuel unit.

If you have a fusible link valve that doesn"t seem to turn off you might try tapping the exposed end of the valve stem. I have found a stuck, or slow to close OSV on a few rare occasions. A gentle tap, not hard enough to damage threads, loosens it after which I open and close the valve a few times to convince myself it now moves freely. A burr on the brass interior or more likely internal sludge or debris could be the culprit.

Because at the oil burner the OSV is likely to be used at least once a year during service, that"s a good opportunity to discover if the valve is not closing fully.
