A thermally actuated valve assembly. In some embodiments, the assembly includes a source of pressurized fluid, the source having an outlet; a valve at the outlet; a strut maintaining the valve closed against force applied by the pressurized fluid; and a thermal actuator formed at least in part from shape memory material, the thermal actuator being movable from a first shape permitting the strut to maintain the valve closed and a second shape applying force to move the strut, thereby permitting the pressurized fluid to open the valve.
