Cavagna Propane LP Forklift Liquid Service Fill Valve, Brass, Forged Brass Handwheel, 3/4″ NGT x 3/8″ NPT, DOT/ASME Compatible, Globe Valve

Description

Product Overview

The Cavagna Propane Forklift Fill Valve is engineered for demanding industrial environments where reliability and precision are paramount. Constructed from high‑grade forged brass, the valve offers exceptional corrosion resistance and long‑term durability. The integrated handwheel is machined from the same brass alloy, providing a smooth, tactile operation that reduces effort during cylinder filling and maintenance. With a 3/4 inch National Gas Thread (NGT) inlet and a 3/8 inch National Pipe Thread (NPT) outlet, the valve ensures a tight, leak‑free seal compatible with standard forklift propane cylinders. The valve complies with both DOT and ASME specifications, guaranteeing that it meets rigorous safety and performance standards required for commercial forklift fleets.

Usage

This valve is designed specifically for propane‑powered forklift cylinders, making it an essential component for warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities that rely on lift trucks for material handling. Whether you are refilling a new cylinder, performing routine maintenance, or conducting emergency repairs, the valve’s ergonomic handwheel allows quick and precise adjustments, minimizing downtime. The pre‑applied sealant on the inlet thread further simplifies installation, reducing the risk of leaks and ensuring a secure connection even in high‑vibration environments. Its compact dimensions (4 x 3 x 2 inches) and lightweight design (approximately 2 lb) make it easy to handle and store, while the gold‑finished exterior provides a clear visual cue for proper orientation during installation.
