Changing an LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas, otherwise known as Propane) cylinder can injure a forklift operator if the seal in the cylinder valve has failed, as a defective seal can allow the liquid propane gas to spray over the hand or face of the operator. Since liquid propane vaporizes quickly (-44° F or -42° C), it will cause extreme frostbite when in contact with the skin. The solution is to place this shut-off valve on the hose, preventing the liquid propane from coming back onto the operator. When closed, the valve shuts off LP Gas to the coupler preventing gas from coming back through the hose if the seal fails. This is important, as most LPG forklift cylinders are rented and the operator does not know the condition of the seal or age of the cylinder without rigorous inspection. When the valve is open, the high-visibility shut-off handle covers the coupler so that the valve cannot be disconnected. Quick and easy installation.

Changing a LPG cylinder on a forklift can sometimes give a forklift operator a big surprise!  The seal in the cylinder valve can fail causing liquid propane gas to spray over the hand or face faster than they can react.  Liquid propane vaporizes quickly (-42 degrees C or -44 degrees F) and will cause extreme frostbite if it contacts the skin.

The Solution: Placing a shut-off valve on the hose with the Propane Coupler to prevent the LPG from escaping back on to the forklift operator and escaping in to the surrounding environment.

Once the propane coupler has been installed and the lever is then opened the lever handle will prevent anyone from removing the Propane coupler.  The lever must be closed before the propane coupler can be loosened off.
