Safety Valves

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

Il-O-Sam Co., Ltd. is a company that has been specializing in the production of valve fittings through forging and processing brass materials since its establishment in 1985.
Il-O-Sam developed the cut-off overflow valve to prevent secondary accidents in the event of a large shock such as an earthquake or fire. This product can significantly reduce accidents with gas cylinders by preventing accidents through the valve’s own function in situations where people cannot do anything.

Cut-off overflow valve
The company’s cut-off overflow valve built into the safety valve can be used for LPG/propane gas for household and restaurant use. The conventional safety valves cannot automatically cut off the flow of gas when an earthquake, fire, severe shock, or accident occurs, affecting the tank, hose, or combustion unit.

The Overfill Prevention Device (OPD) valve developed in the United States has the limitation that it can only be operated when the pressure regulator is removed. However, Il-O-Sam’s cut-off overflow valve is designed to operate automatically in the event of a gas pipe rupture (above the allowable level).
The cut-off overflow valve disconnects the pressure regulator and automatically cuts off the gas when the valve is opened. This product also has such additional functions as automatic gas shutoff if the pressure regulator is accidentally separated or detached from the hose during use; automatic gas shutoff if the gas supply line (hose or pipe) is cut or ruptured; automatic gas shutoff if the LPG cylinder falls over due to an earthquake or impact; automatic gas shutoff if the valve itself is defective or damaged by external impact; and automatic gas shutoff if the pressure regulator is damaged during use.

The cut-off overflow valve is installed inside the valve (embedded type) and costs only about 10% of the price of the existing valves. Therefore, by simply adopting the company’s overcurrent blocking component to the existing OPD valves, users’ products ultimately can be upgraded to the best safety valve.
