Small Fire Extinguisher Valve Actuator with Dip Tube for Dry Chemical

Product Description

This is a critical discharge assembly designed for small, portable fire extinguishers. The system consists of a valve body that seals the pressurized extinguishing agent (e.g., dry chemical, foam, or clean agent), a simple and reliable actuator (often a lever or button mechanism with a safety pull-pin), and a dip tube that extends to the bottom of the extinguisher cylinder. When the actuator is engaged, the valve opens, allowing the propellant to force the suppressant agent up through the dip tube and out the nozzle, aiming it at the base of the fire. Its design prioritizes immediate operation, reliability, and complete evacuation of the contents.

Key Features

• Instant Actuation Mechanism: Features a simple, intuitive, and highly reliable lever or push-button actuator designed for immediate operation under stress, secured by a safety pin to prevent accidental discharge.

• Durable & Corrosion-Resistant Dip Tube: Constructed from materials that resist corrosion from fire suppression agents, ensuring a clear path for agent discharge and full evacuation of the cylinder contents.

• High-Pressure Seal: Engineered with a robust seal (often a gland seal or O-ring) to maintain pressure integrity over long storage periods, preventing agent leakage and propellant loss.

• Safety Pin & Tamper Evidence: Includes a easily removable safety pin with a tamper seal to provide visual confirmation that the unit has not been accidentally or intentionally activated.

• Compact & Robust Construction: Designed to withstand the rigors of a portable environment, including potential impacts and vibration, while maintaining a compact form factor for small extinguishers.

• Agent Compatibility: Designed for use with specific suppressants like ABC dry chemical, potassium-based powders, foam concentrates, or clean agents like CO2 or FK-5-1-12.

Application Scenarios

• Portable Fire Extinguishers: The primary application for small, handheld ABC, BC, or specialty extinguishers for home, vehicle, or office use.

• Marine & Automotive Kits: Used in compact extinguishers designed for boats, cars, RVs, and motorcycles.

• Industrial Equipment Backup: Provides a first-response fire suppression solution for small machinery, electrical cabinets, and server racks.

• Commercial Settings: Found in small extinguishers mounted in kitchens, laboratories, or alongside larger units for quick access to specific hazards.
