Fireside Fusible Plugs

Additional Information

The fireside fusible plugs listed here are essential safety components for steam boilers. Installed between the fireside and waterside of the boiler’s plate, flue, or tube, they feature a pure-tin core designed to melt at 445 °F – 450 °F, serving as a critical thermal safety valve. 

 

When boiler water levels drop dangerously low and the plug rises out of the water, the core melts. This triggers a rapid release of steam into the firebox — loud enough to alert operators — and helps extinguish the fire before the boiler’s crown sheet overheats, greatly reducing the risk of catastrophic failure.
