The GURU® CH & CHS may be thought of as an automatic freeze-out plug with one important difference: The stainless steel GURU® Cartridge releases itself from its body at a pre-set water temperature (35°F or 40°F), rather than being forced out by the tremendous pressure of expanding ice. This provides almost a full one inch bore to rapidly drain the typical compressor before damage can occur. Resetting and rearming the GURU® Plug is easily accomplished by simply reheating the cartridge and utilizing our GURU® Flag and Clip tool with slotted actuator feature. This feature prevents the GURU® Plug from triggering open again while refilling the cooling system with cold water.
Both are used for water cooled air compressor head freeze protection. The GURU® CHS adapts to Gardner Denver’s compressor set cooling systems. Most common on EMD’s SD70 locomotives.

- Rapid draining
- Easy system refill
- Easy maintenance and field testability
- Slotted actuator feature prevents nuisance dumps when refilling cooling system with cold water
- Unit automatically rearms after filling and reheating
- Optional domed anti tamper cap eliminates ability to tamper with the valve resetting stem
