Valve which protects the lines to a cylinder secured so that it can no longer make any undesired or hazardous movement in the event that the supply line breaks.Burst pipe protection is mainly used in excavators and mobile cranes where the boom or load must not lower in an uncontrolled manner should the line rupture. Pipe rupture protection devices must operate automatically and should be placed as close as possible to the cylinder to be protected.
