FIRE SAFE VALVES™ U.S. PATENT # 3,817,353
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
A typical Fire Safe Oil Control System has two spring-loaded, thermally actuated
Kenco Fire Safe valves. In the event of a fire, the valve’s eutectic fuse element
melts and the valves close automatically. This prevents the oil contained inside
the crankcase and the oil reserve tank from feeding the fire.
BENEFITS:
• Lower insurance rates
• Protection in case of fire to equipment
• Protection of personnel
• Protection of environment
E C
• Prevents oil supply from feeding a fire
D B
SPECIFICATIONS
• Valve Body: Zinc Plated Carbon Steel (316 S.S. optional)
• Spring: Stainless Steel (Inconel on 10-KFS)
• Valve Plunger: Carbon Steel (316 S.S. optional)
• Seal Material: Fluorocarbon G
• Thermal Fuse Melting Temp.: 360°F
• Maximum Working Pressure: 70 psig
• Connection Size: 1/2” FNPT, 3/4” FNPT or 1”FNPT
(other sizes available)
H
TYPICAL INSTALLATION
INLET SIDE:
Install the Model 50-KFS as close to the controller inlet (or Kenco
Low Flow Meter) as possible.
OUTLET SIDE:
Install the Model 75-KFS as close to the engine crankcase as possible.
Note: The model designations shown in the table above represent the
order number for standard Carbon Steel Fire valves. To order Stainless
Steel Fire Safe valves, add the suffix “-SS” to the end of the order number.
(Example: A 1/2” NPT Stainless Steel Model 50-KFS Fire Safe valve would
be ordered as 50-KFS-SS)
INLET SIDE:
In case of a fire, stops oil
from flowing from oil reserve
supply.
OUTLET SIDE:
In case of a fire, stops back
flow of oil from crank case.

IN-LUBRICATOR OIL LEVEL CONTROLLER
WITH SAFETY SWITCH
APPLICATION:
Series 507 Oil Level Controllers are designed for use in
MODEL K507L Lincoln, Premier, and Mega Lubricators.
MODEL 507K
The standard valve seat material
is a chrome steel ball check. Seal
materials are Cork Neoprene
and Nitrile. A 1/2” FNPT oil inlet
connection is standard. The switch
is case-to-ground and the circuit
will remain open until the oil supply
from the outside source is empty.
MODEL 507M
The standard valve seat
material is Nitrile, but may be
ordered as Fluorocarbon for other
types of lubrication. A 1/2” FNPT
oil inlet connection and 1/2” FNPT
conduit connection is standard. The
switch is S.P.D.T. and can be wired
normally open or normally closed.
