The GURU® DL 2.1 is the most widely used and proven locomotive freeze protection valve in the world. It 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 locomotive 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.
