Hikelok Other Fittings-Fusible Fittings
Hikelok Fusible Fittings are thermally operated but not reusable pressure relief devices.Fusible fittings contain an eutectic alloy plug, and the eutectic alloy plug has a specific melting point. When the fitting is exposed to temperatures at or above this melting point of fusible metals, the eutectic alloy plug will melt and the pressure inside the fitting will be released to atmosphere for protection of systems. Fusible fittings do not protect against overpressure from improper charging practices.There are brass,304 stainless steel,316 stainless steel for choose.
