ABSTRACT:
A valve for use with a liquid comprising: a valve casing having an inlet and outlet; a valve seat arranged between the inlet and outlet; a plug adapted to be received on the valve seat; sensor means adapted to sense the level of the liquid, the sensor means being operatively associated with the plug so as to vary the position of the plug relative to the valve seat as a function of the level of the liquid; and a lever adapted to vary the position of the plug relative to the valve seat independently of the sensor means.
A valve, for use with a liquid, comprising: a valve casing having an inlet and outlet; a valve seat arranged between the inlet and outlet; a plug adapted to be received on the valve seat; and a lever adapted to vary the position of the plug relative to the valve seat by means of a stem attached to the lever. The lever is attached to the stem by means of a pin attached to the lever, the pin being fitted within a fusible bushing fitted within a hold in the stem. The bushing and pin are arranged such that when the bushing is melted as a result of exposure to elevated temperature, the plug is automatically seated on the valve seat as a result of pressure exerted by the stem on the plug.
