4.4 SBRA valve with fusible device (refer to Figures 7 and 8)
Replacing or resetting the fuse:
- Isolate the valve and unscrew the bonnet (see Figure 7).
- Unscrew the retaining nut and withdraw the valve, valve stem, fuse and spring assembly.
- The fuse may now be unscrewed from the valve stem and the new one fitted (see Figure 8).
Alternatively the existing fuse may be reset after dismantling as above, by immersing it in hot
water at a temperature above its fusing point 80°C (176°F) on the standard fuse.
When the fuse solder head reaches a fluid state the two cylinders can be pushed together until
the ends are flush. Allow to cool and refit.

Firstly remove the control system sensor from the plant and allow to cool.
SA controls:
- Disconnect the actuator from the valve.
- Before attempting to carry out any repairs, make sure that the valve is fully isolated.
- It is important to always renew the complete assembly as listed above and to make sure that
all of the joint faces are clean.
