Engineered for the unique demands of high-pressure applications, this Reinforced Male Fire Extinguisher Valve is the critical component for CO2 and other special hazard fire suppression systems. The valve body is constructed from forged steel or high-strength stainless steel, capable of withstanding the immense static pressure of liquefied CO2. A key safety feature is the integrated rupture disc, a failsafe mechanism that will vent pressure at a predetermined level to prevent catastrophic cylinder failure. The outlet valve and dip tube are designed to handle the rapid phase change and extreme cold of discharging CO2. This specialized valve assembly is a masterpiece of engineering for critical environments like server rooms, generator halls, and chemical storage, where a reliable, high-integrity male thread valve is non-negotiable for protecting high-value assets.
Bullet Points:
-
Forged steel or stainless steel construction for extreme pressure integrity.
-
Integrated safety rupture disc as a mandatory overpressure protection.
-
Outlet valve and siphon tube designed for CO2 phase change and low temperatures.
-
Meets stringent international standards for high-pressure gas cylinders.
-
The definitive male thread valve for CO2 and other clean agent systems.
Specific Application Scenario
This valve is installed on a 50-lb CO2 fire extinguisher cylinder protecting a bank's data server room, where it must safely contain high pressure for years and perform instantly to discharge a non-damaging agent.
Factory Production Floor
Manufacturing involves high-precision forging and machining. Each rupture disc is individually calibrated and tested. Every completed valve undergoes a rigorous helium leak test and a high-pressure proof test far exceeding its working pressure.
Packing and Transportation
Valves are individually packed in sealed, desiccant-filled bags and placed in foam-lined, heavy-duty boxes. They are clearly marked as "High-Pressure Components" and require special handling documentation.
FAQ
-
Q: What is the working pressure of this high-pressure male fire extinguisher valve?
A: Standard models are rated for 1800-3000 PSI, suitable for CO2 applications. Please confirm your specific system requirements.
-
Q: Why is a rupture disc necessary on this valve assembly?
A: It is a critical safety device that acts as a failsafe, permanently venting the cylinder contents in a controlled manner if pressure becomes dangerously high due to fire or other fault, preventing an explosion.
-
Q: Can this male thread valve be used with other inert gas agents like Inergen?
A: Yes, it is suitable for various high-pressure inert gas systems, though the rupture disc rating must be specified for the specific agent and fill pressure.
-
Q: How is the outlet valve different from a standard water-type extinguisher valve?
A: It is built with heavier materials, has a much higher pressure rating, and includes a siphon tube designed to handle liquefied gases and their extreme discharge temperatures.
-
Q: What certifications do you have for these high-pressure valves?
A: Our valves are certified to relevant international standards such as DOT/TC, CE/PED, and ISO, with certificates available upon request.
