GuardianGuard™ Fire Safety Valve: Uncompromising Protection Against Fire Hazards

Overview

The GuardianGuard™ Fire Safety Valve is a critical component in any comprehensive fire safety strategy, engineered to provide immediate and reliable isolation of hazardous materials or fuel sources in the event of a fire. Designed for the most demanding industrial environments, our fire safety valves act as an indispensable guardian, preventing fire propagation, minimizing damage, and safeguarding lives and assets when it matters most.

Built to exceed stringent international fire-safe standards, the GuardianGuard™ valve ensures fail-safe operation under extreme conditions, providing peace of mind through unparalleled performance and durability.

Key Features

• Certified Fire-Safe Design: Independently tested and certified to API 607 / API 6FA and ISO 10497 standards, ensuring reliable leak-tight shutoff even after prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
• Fail-Safe Operation: Engineered to automatically move to a pre-defined safe position (e.g., fully closed) upon detection of a fire or loss of power/signal, preventing further fuel supply or material release.
• Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-grade, fire-resistant materials such as Stainless Steel (SS316, SS304), Carbon Steel, and Duplex Alloys, ensuring structural integrity and corrosion resistance in harsh industrial settings.
• Thermal Activation Mechanisms:
  • Fusible Link: A spring-loaded mechanism triggered by a temperature-sensitive alloy link that melts at a specific ambient temperature (e.g., 165°F, 212°F), rapidly closing/opening the valve.
  • Electro-Hydraulic/Pneumatic Actuators: Integrated with fire detection systems, these actuators can be commanded to operate automatically or manually in an emergency, often with a manual override option.
• Leak-Tight Sealing: Advanced seat and seal designs, often incorporating metal-to-metal seating or specialized fire-safe materials (e.g., PEEK, high-temperature PTFE) that maintain sealing integrity during and after a fire event.
• High-Pressure & Temperature Ratings: Available in various pressure classes (e.g., ANSI Class 150-2500, PN10-PN400) and suitable for a wide range of process temperatures, with fire-safe ratings up to 600°C (1112°F).
• Versatile End Connections: Offered with Flanged (RF, RTJ), Threaded (NPT, BSP), or Welded (BW, SW) ends to suit diverse piping configurations.
• Multiple Valve Types: Available in Ball Valve, Gate Valve, and Globe Valve configurations, each optimized for specific applications and flow control requirements.
• Corrosion Resistance: Materials and coatings chosen for excellent resistance to corrosive media and environmental factors, extending operational life.
• Optional Features: Limit switches for remote position indication, solenoid valves for remote activation, manual override levers, and explosion-proof enclosures for hazardous area classifications (e.g., ATEX, IECEx certified).

Unrivaled Benefits

• Enhanced Safety: Protects personnel, infrastructure, and surrounding communities by rapidly containing or isolating hazardous substances during a fire.
• Asset Protection: Prevents catastrophic equipment damage and minimizes the financial impact of fire incidents, contributing to business continuity.
• Regulatory Compliance: Helps facilities meet stringent international and local fire safety codes, environmental regulations, and insurance requirements.
• Reliable Performance: Engineered for consistent and dependable operation under the most extreme and critical circumstances, ensuring readiness for emergencies.
• Reduced Downtime: Facilitates quicker recovery and restart of operations by limiting fire spread and associated damage.
• Long-Term Durability: Designed for a long service life with minimal maintenance, even in harsh operating conditions.

Applications

The GuardianGuard™ Fire Safety Valve is indispensable for critical safety applications across various industries:

• Oil & Gas: Refineries, offshore platforms, pipelines, storage terminals, gas processing plants.
• Chemical & Petrochemical: Chemical processing plants, storage facilities for flammable liquids and gases.
• Power Generation: Fuel lines, turbine protection, cooling systems.
• HVAC Systems: Duct fire dampers (often integrated with fire-safe valves for fluid/gas lines).
• Marine & Offshore: Ship engine rooms, cargo handling systems, offshore drilling rigs.
• Industrial Manufacturing: Processes involving flammable solvents, fuels, or hazardous chemicals.
• Fuel Storage & Dispensing: Tank farms, dispensing stations, loading/unloading arms.
