Emerson Fisher Snappy Joe Type N551 Emergency Shutoff Valve

Description

Type N551 Snappy Joe Emergency Shutoff Valves are intended for in-line use on LP-Gas or Anhydrous Ammonia (NH3) service. The valves may be installed on both ends of transfer hoses where the hose connects the bulk plant piping to the bobtail, transport, or tank car. They provide a quick way of automatically shutting off gas flow in the event of a hose rupture. A fusible element in the latch melts if the temperature reaches 212°F / 100°C, allowing the valve to self-close.This product is backed by a 10-year warranty.FeaturesHigh Flow Capacity: The main poppet moves completely out of the flow stream for extremely low restriction to flowOperational Ease: Moving the operating lever to the vertical position opens the valve, making it simple to tell if the unit is open or closedFusible Element: The fusible element is located at the hub of the operating lever and stub shaft – when exposed to fire, the element melts allowing valve to self closeRugged Construction: Heavy duty construction makes the Snappy Joe suitable for use transfer area, even under frequent useEase of Service: Serviceable without removal from the pipeline – parts that wear are external and can be changed in a matter of minutesUL Listed: All seats and seals use UL approved materials rated for -40°F and have metal back up seals for extended fire resistanceSpecificationsType: N551Style: Emergency Shutoff ValveSize: 2 and 3 in.
