This industrial-grade Male Fire Extinguisher Valve is engineered for the most demanding environments, from manufacturing floors to chemical plants. Crafted from high-tensile forged brass, this robust valve assembly is built to withstand high internal pressures and resist corrosion from harsh atmospheres. The valve features a precision-machined outlet valve with a clean, sharp thread to ensure a perfect, leak-proof connection to the discharge hose or pipe. Its ergonomic handwheel allows for quick and easy operation, even with gloved hands, during high-stress emergency situations. The integrated pressure gauge port is designed for a secure fit, providing reliable pressure monitoring throughout the extinguisher's service life. This male thread valve is the cornerstone of a reliable fire suppression system, providing the critical link between the extinguishing agent and the nozzle, ensuring rapid and effective deployment when every second counts.
Bullet Points:
-
Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant forged brass.
-
High-flow outlet valve design for rapid agent discharge.
-
Precision-machined male thread valve ensures a perfect seal with the discharge hose.
-
Ergonomic handwheel for positive control during operation.
-
Includes a standard port for a reliable pressure gauge.
Specific Application Scenario
This valve is installed on a 20-lb ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher stationed in a automotive manufacturing workshop, where it must be ready to perform reliably in an environment with flammable liquids and electrical hazards.
Factory Production Floor
The valve bodies are hot-forged from brass billets for superior strength. CNC machines then precision-cut the internal passages and threads. Each unit undergoes a hydrostatic pressure test at 1.5 times its rated working pressure to guarantee integrity.
Packing and Transportation
Valves are individually wrapped in VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) paper and packed in partitioned cardboard boxes. Master cartons are clearly labeled with product codes and stacked on pallets for secure international shipping.
FAQ
-
Q: What is the pressure rating of this industrial male fire extinguisher valve?
A: This valve is rated for a standard working pressure of 360 PSI (25 Bar), with a test pressure exceeding 500 PSI.
-
Q: Is the male thread valve compatible with standard industrial fire extinguisher hoses?
A: Yes, it features a standard NPT (National Pipe Taper) male thread, ensuring universal compatibility with industry-standard hoses and horns.
-
Q: How often should this valve assembly be inspected or replaced?
A: We recommend following local fire codes, but typically, a visual inspection should occur monthly, with a hydrostatic test every 5 or 12 years as per regulations.
-
Q: Is this valve suitable for use with dry chemical, foam, and water-based extinguishers?
A: Absolutely, the forged brass construction is compatible with a wide range of common extinguishing agents.
-
Q: Can this outlet valve be fitted with an anti-tamper seal?
A: Yes, the design includes a provision for a standard plastic tamper seal to indicate if the unit has been used or tampered with.
