Product description

The Snap-On JBC61684000 Velocity Fuse is a critical safety device integrated into the hydraulic lines of professional vehicle lifts. Rated for an 8 GPM (Gallons Per Minute) flow rate, this fuse acts as an automatic shut-off valve in the event of a catastrophic hydraulic failure, such as a burst hose or fitting. If the flow rate suddenly exceeds the 8 GPM threshold due to a loss of system integrity, the velocity fuse instantly closes, locking the hydraulic fluid in the cylinder and preventing the lift from crashing down. This protection is a non-negotiable safety feature for John Bean and Snap-On lifts, providing peace of mind for technicians working underneath heavy vehicles. The JBC61684000 is engineered to be highly reliable and resistant to nuisance tripping during normal operation. Replacing a damaged or old velocity fuse is an essential maintenance task to ensure that your lift's safety systems are fully operational and compliant with shop safety standards.
