Fike Carbon Dioxide cylinders are equipped with a cylinder valve assembly to hold the CO2 agent in the cylinder until actuated.
The cylinder valve assembly is a forged brass body. The actuation pressure required to open the pneumatic valve is 100 to 110 psi (689 to 758 kPa).
All valves are equipped with a safety relief disc that will rupture if the cylinder pressure exceeds 2750 psi (18,960 kPa) and a pilot port that is utilized for recharging the CO2 cylinder and installation of solenoid purposes.
The Valve can be installed as a master valve by removing two plugs and installing either the 12 Vdc or 24 Vdc actuation kit.
For Marine applications, the slave configuration is converted to a master valve by installing the local lever actuator assembly.
