48-1738 Fireye CAPTIVE SCREW

Overview

The Fireye 48-1738 is a precision-engineered captive screw designed specifically for use with Fireye D-Series flame safeguard controls and E300 expansion modules. This specialized hardware component is essential for ensuring a secure and stable attachment of control modules to their respective wiring bases, preventing accidental detachment during operation. By design, the screw remains “captive” within the module assembly, which eliminates the risk of hardware loss during installation, maintenance, or field repairs.

Features

• Captive Design: Remains attached to the component even when unscrewed, preventing the loss of hardware in industrial environments.
• Secure Connection: Provides a reliable, vibration-resistant mechanical connection between the control module and the wiring base.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality materials, typically stainless steel, to withstand the rigorous conditions of boiler rooms and industrial combustion environments.
• Ease of Maintenance: Enables efficient servicing and replacement of modules by keeping necessary fasteners integrated with the equipment.

Specifications

• Model Number: 48-1738
• Compatibility: Specifically designed for Fireye D-Series (e.g., 70D40, 70D41) and E300 Expansion Modules.
• Material: High-strength metal, often stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
• Installation: Designed for hand-tightening or standard screwdriver use depending on the specific head style.

Applications

The 48-1738 captive screw is primarily used in commercial and industrial burner management systems. It is used to fasten the Fireye D-Series chassis and the E300 Expansion Module to their designated wiring bases. This hardware is critical in HVAC and power generation applications where equipment uptime is vital, as it prevents loose screws from falling into electrical circuits or moving parts, thereby protecting the integrity of the flame safeguard system.
