12830 Beckett Firomatic B200F Inline Fusible Valve – 1/2" FPT x 1/2" FPT

📝 Product Overview

The Beckett 12830 Firomatic B200F Inline Fusible Valve is designed to provide fire safety protection for residential and commercial oil heating systems. This 1/2" FPT x 1/2" FPT brass valve automatically shuts off the flow of oil from the tank when exposed to 165°F ambient temperature, reducing the risk of fire damage.

Built with a high-grade brass body and Viton® equivalent seals, this valve is UL/ULC listed and code-compliant under NFPA 31. It is an ideal choice when a fusible tank valve cannot be installed.

Replacement Reference: This valve replaces Beckett 12130, along with 9120-200-0 / 91202000 / B-200-F / B200F.
