Fire-Tested Valves And

Actuators Described In

Free Jamesbury Brochure

A new full-color brochure from

Jamesbury Corp. of Worcester,

Mass., describes its broad line of "Fire-Tite" ball and high-perform- ance butterfly valves and its fire- tested actuators.

The products are well-suited for handling flammable liquids, gases, and other hazardous materials where leakage in the event of a fire would either fuel the fire or present a dangerous environment.

The brochure describes with dia- grams the secondary metal-to-metal sealing that takes place if the pri- mary TFE seats are destroyed in a fire. Actuators available with these valves can be either units which in the case of fire immediately re- turn the valve to its spring-driven position (closed or open), or actua- tors that are shielded and pro- tected to allow continuing opera- tion of the valve through the fire.
