On every boiler there are a number of safety devices. The safety relief valve, Low Water Fuel Cutoff. If the safety valve and the LWFC fail to do their job pressure and heat will build up in the drum of the boiler. The fusible plug acts as a last line of defense. The plug has a material that will melt at 400 degrees (usually tin) and when that melts away it creates a way for that built up pressure to escape causing a whistling sound. It's not enough to completely relieve the pressure but simply acts as a final warning for you to evacuate the building and/or area.
A fusible plug is a metal cylinder that has been threaded with a hole drilled throughout it. The plugs can be found in a variety of metals. Heated metal is used to seal the hole.
A rupture disk (disc) is a pressure relief device that reliefs pressure when the pressure inside the protected equipment exceeds the set pressure. A fusible plug reliefs pressure when the plug is weakened due to high temperature.
If you plug an electrical device in the 12 volt DC cigarette lighter of a 2002 Toyota Camry that draws more than 120 watts you may blow the fuse. The fuse block is behind a plastic cover below and to the left of the steering wheel. The back of the plastic cover shows the location of the 15 amp fuse. If you check the fuse and it's OK then the fusible link in the lighter plug is most likely blown. This happened to me. To remove the lighter plug you have to insert a small flat tip screw driver into a very small slot behind the black plastc mounting ring on the right side of the plug. The screw driver has to go in about 1/2" to depress a small plastic clip that is keeping the plug from coming out. There is another clip on the left side of the plug but there is no slot in the face plate on that side. You have to work it back and forth to get it to come out. It's not easy but it will come out. Once the plug is out you can diconnect the wiring plug and either replace the plug or if you can get the fusible link material replace that. The fusible link looks like a piece of solder wire with wire insulation on it. It is supported between four very small metal stand off brackets on the very back of the plug. The link will probably be melted if it blew the circuit. You can jumper these brackets together to check the operation of the plug.

the cooling fan fusible link comes off the battery cable then goes down to a plug that turns up towards the fan relay and also the alternator.
two in the front, three on each side, and three in the back, though one of these is a plug for the back of the camshaft.
The function of a fusible plug or soft plug is to relieve exceeded pressure inside the vessel allowing it to escape to the fire box extinguishing the fire and lowering internal pressure. The boilers I've owned have had ASME stamps on the plug and are required to be replaced every two years. The inside is not to be refilled if ruptured. The lead tin alloy is designed to melt between 440 and 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Cost on a 3/8 npt is around $80.00 Sellar industries manufactures them in lots so keep a spare ! There are two kinds a standard plug that is screwed into a flue (the water is exposed to the stamped side which its screwed into) or the fireside type (this one the stamped side is exposed to the fire box). I've used these on a flue-less boiler. It was a look out made in Tenn. that had inspection dates beginning 1858 1860 1906 1908, the dome stamp was 1 8 2 8 .in 9012 she was 184 years young and would have passed commercially @ 289 psi. Inspector gave it 125 psi for historical boiler use. This is a 100 psi vessel. thanks for stopping by
OBD Plug is behind the small removeable cover (grey plastic) directly below the steering wheel. Just pull the cover off.
A plug in a newspaper is a small piece of writing or advertisement that promotes a product, service, event, or person. It usually appears in a prominent location in the newspaper to attract the reader's attention.
Glow plugs don't necessarily have a fuse. They do have fusible links though. That is a wire with a smaller gauge wire in line that will burn should a short occur. On a ford they are usually near the glow plug controller. However all the glow plug wires on idi fords are made of the fusible link wire so they could realistically burn in 2 anywhere.
