APPLICATIONS

Fluid systems in which a ruptured or otherwise failed line would be a major safety or environmental concern:
 
- High-Pressure Air Lines
- Hydraulic Lines
- Hazardous Chemical Processes 

OPERATING DESCRIPTION

The Marotta Flo-Fuse provides protection for fluid systems just as electrical fuses, or circuit breakers, provide protection for electrical systems—shutting off the circuit when excessive flow is detected. 

The Marotta Flo-Fuse is a normally open check valve, held open by spring force during normal conditions. If differential pressure across the valve exceeds the rating by 200%, indicating excessive flow due to a failed line downstream, the Flo-Fuse instantly closes. The valve remains closed to isolate the failure until the valve is reset.
