A fusible plug is a threaded cylinder of metal, usually bronze, brass or gunmetal, with a tapered hole drilled completely through its length. This hole is sealed with a metal of low melting point that flows away if a predetermined high temperature is reached.
A fusible plug is a threaded metal cylinder usually of bronze, brass or gunmetal, with a tapered hole drilled completely through its length.This hole is sealed with a metal of low melting point that flows away if a pre-determined, high temperature is reached.
Glass cartridge and plug fuses allow direct inspection of the fusible element. Other fuses have other indication methods including: Indicating pin or striker pin — extends out of the fuse cap when the element is blown. Indicating disc — a coloured disc (flush mounted in the end cap of the fuse) falls out when the element is blown.
A fusible plug See also: Fusible plug A mechanical fusible link is a device consisting of two strips of metal soldered together with a fusible alloy that is designed to melt at a specific temperature, thus allowing the two pieces to separate.
Limiter fuses or fusible links consist of a metal strip for currents over 10 amperes. Also referred to as Current Limiting Fuses, they feature an internal fuse element that melts when current passing through the fuse element is within the specified current limiting range of the fuse.

Washout plug A small mudhole used for washing out the boiler. Plugs, as compared to mudholes, are usually screwed into a taper thread, rather than held by clamps. Water drum see mud drum Water-tube boiler a boiler whose primary heating surface is composed of many small tubes, filled with water.
Medical gas cylinders in the UK and some other countries have a fusible plug of Wood's metal in the valve block between the valve seat and the cylinder. [ citation needed ] This plug melts at a comparatively low temperature (70 °C) and allows the contents of the cylinder to escape to the surroundings before the cylinder is significantly ...
