fuel oil safety valve in stock
By isolating burner fuel pumps from supply line pressure sources a supply pump or overhead tank, the osv relieves ores sure strain on fuel pump inlets and seals and prevents tank siphoning and spilling caused by accidental line breaks
Features/BenefitsWebster Oil Safety Valves Provide Important Protection in Oil Burner Supply Systems with Pressurized Supply Lines; The OSV Relieves Pressure Strain on Fuel Pump Inlets and Seals and Prevents Tank Siphoning and Spilling Caused by Accidental Line Breaks; The OSV is Mounted Close to the Burner Assembly; The OSV Operates as a Pressure Reducer, with Supply Line Pressure on the Valve Inlet Side and Fuel Pump Vacuum on the Valve Outlet Side
Fusible valves are approved for kerosene and No. 2 fuel oil. Pressure rated for 10 P.S.I. Valves with standard hand wheel close at about 165 deg. F. ambient temperature. Double seal to prevent stem leaks. All fusible valve rubber washers and o-rings are made of Viton or equivalent material. 3/8" F.
Oil-fired boilers need a steady, accurately measured flow of oil to operate safely and efficiently. Fuel oil valves and actuators work together to regulate that flow, while also providing safeguards in case of a fire.
Fuel oil valves regulate the flow of oil into the burner. Actuators are used to control those valves, allowing the boiler’s monitoring and control system to adjust the fuel supply automatically based on demand. This automated control helps keep the boiler operating within spec, and at peak efficiency.
Some valves and actuators are mounted in one self-contained housing, while other configurations use separate valve and actuator assemblies that are joined by a linkage.
Many fuel oil valves feature a Proof of Closure (POC) switch as well that sends a signal back to the monitoring system to confirm valve closure, or provides visual confirmation that the valve is closed.
Fuel oil valves and actuators work together to modulate the boiler’s fuel oil supply based on demand. They are also responsible for shutting off the supply of oil during shutdown, and turning the supply back on during startup.
Many valves even feature a special heat-activated failsafe that keeps the valve open under spring pressure, closing it mechanically if the valve gets too warm.
When a fuel oil valve goes bad, it will either deliver too much or too little oil. Sometimes, none at all. This will make the boiler hard to start, and will cause it to produce either too much or too little steam based on its settings.
Things to Consider about fuel oil valves and actuators:Some fuel oil valves and actuators can be mounted in the same housing, functioning as a self-contained unit. Others are mounted as separate components joined by a linkage.Self-contained valve and actuator assemblies are easier to swap out, but harder to maintain and repair.Separate valve and actuator setups can be easier to repair and maintain, but may take longer to install.

A malfunctioning valve or actuator will cause the boiler to run too rich or too lean. It can also prevent proper startup. If you’re checking the valve, be sure to check the linkage and actuator, too. Loose linkage can cause the boiler to run out of spec.
Both are good solutions for operating a fuel oil valve safely. It just depends on how your monitoring and control system is set up, and whether it uses compressed air or electricity to power the actuator.
Surface-controlled subsurface safety valves (SCSSVs) are critical components of well completions, preventing uncontrolled flow in the case of catastrophic damage to wellhead equipment. Fail-safe closure must be certain to ensure proper security of the well. However, this is not the only function in which it must be reliable—the valve must remain open to produce the well. Schlumberger surface controlled subsurface safety valves exceed all ISO 10432 and API Spec 14A requirements for pressure integrity, leakage acceptance criteria, and slam closure.
Through decades of innovation and experience, Schlumberger safety valve flapper systems are proven robust and reliable. The multizone dynamic seal technology for hydraulic actuation of subsurface safety valves is a further improvement in reliability performance when compared with traditional seal systems in the industry.
The multizone seal technology is currently available in the GeoGuard high-performance deepwater safety valves, which is validated to API Spec 14A V1 and V1-H.

Nickle Plated Neodymium Iron Boron rare earth magnets were selected for longevity instead of the standard steel spring found in traditional valves. Over time steel springs will weaken or break rendering the valve ineffective. NIB Magnets have a far greater life cycle than steel springs and will never break. The magnetism of rare earth magnets have a much longer life cycle than common metal or ceramic magnets and therefore have a longer life span.
