Safety Products
Essex Industries offers a range of air purifying respirators and oxygen supplied hoods which provide safe breathing support for individuals in emergency situations. Essex also manufactures fire-safe thermal/electro-thermal valves and actuators which are designed to shut off automatically and control hazardous conditions in industrial environments.
 | 3-Way Multi-Port Ball Valve ActuatorThis fusible link actuator is designed for use on 3-way multi-port ball valves. Capable of reacting to heat, smoke or gas leaks, this system will shut off and vent the air supply to a pneumatic spring return actuator allowing it to close larger fire-safe valves.Sized from 1/4" to 2", these valves feature all stainless steel construction and are available with L-port or T-port flow patterns.

 | Custom Valve ActuatorAn FM approved actuator can be installed on soft-seated API607 or FM fire-rated valves to create a custom product. The actuator retains its FM approval and valve equipment consistency is maintained in the process application. Reacting to heat, smoke or gas sensors, the actuator will shut off valves automatically or remotely. The actuator is designed so that the valve can be operated manually in day-to-day service without voiding the fusible link. Full Details > |
 | Electrothermal Shut-Off Ball ValveThis valve adds the feature of an electrothermal link to the Essex thermal shut-off ball valve. The link will react when subjected to heat or to a low-power electrical impulse, such as those found on most smoke or gas detectors. The electro-thermal shut-off ball valve can be used with electrical signaling systems which are activated by heat, smoke, gas, flame-energy, maximum temperature or rate of temperature rise.

 | Plus 15® Escape RespiratorThe Plus 15® Air Purifying Respirator is a filtering escape hood for respiratory protection from smoke and fire. A multi-layer filter provides 15 minutes of protection from carbon monoxide, particulates and other toxic gases commonly found in smoke and fire environments such as hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen chloride and acrolein. Lightweight, portable and easy to use, one size fits most adults. Full Details > |
 | Thermal and Electrothermal Shut-Off Actuators for Butterfly ValvesThese FM approved thermal and electrothermal shut-off butterfly valve actuators were designed to meet the requirements for plant applications where flammable fluids are piped and controlled, such as in the petroleum or process industries. When used in conjunction with high performance butterfly valves having a resilient/metallic seating arrangement, the patented Essex Thermal Actuator (TA Series) has the ability to shut-off in the event of fire or a hazardous situation.

 | Thermal Shut-Off Ball ValveThis FM Approved valve combines the characteristics of a manual ball valve with the added safety of an automatic shut-off. Heat actuated, UL listed thermal links automatically shut-off or open the valve at predetermined temperatures. A unique, removable handle allows the valve to be manually operated without affecting the fusible links. Full Details > |
 | Victim Rescue Unit Plus (VRU+)The Victim Rescue Unit Plus (VRU+) is a protective breathing system that can provide up to 60 minutes of self-contained respiratory protection. The hood provides 360° visibility and takes just seconds to don. Designed for home, security, law enforcement, first response teams, high-rise building occupants and homeland defense, the VRU+ protects a victim's respiratory system, head and vision from fire, toxic fumes, hazardous chemical spills, and Sarin and Mustard gases for the purpose of emergency egress or escape.
