Abstract (en)
A valve for use in a fire extinguisher comprises a body 2 accommodating a spindle assembly 6. The valve is released by applying pressure to the spindle assembly 6 which then allows extinguishant fluid to flow through the valve. The valve communicates with an open-ended bore 22 such that accidental release of the valve will not result in "kicking" to one side. A connecting member 26 fits tightly within bore 22 to provide controllable direction of fluid flow from the valve via the connecting member 26. The connecting member comprises two portions 28 answering, on their outer surfaces, to atmospheric pressure such that accidental release of the valve with the connecting member 26 within bore 22 does not result in the connecting member 26 being projected out of the bore 22. <IMAGE>
