OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade LPG Fill Valve for Forklift Cylinders

The Western Enterprises FV-2089 is a precision-engineered Forklift Fill Valve designed to facilitate the safe and efficient transfer of Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) into motor fuel cylinders. Manufactured to rigorous industrial standards, this component is essential for maintaining the operational integrity and safety of propane-powered forklift fleets. The valve features a dual-connection interface: a standard 1-1/4" ACME Male thread that couples universally with LPG delivery hoses, and a 3/8" NPT connection (typically Female or Male depending on specific tank port configuration, though standard fitment applies to common cylinder bungs) for secure attachment to the cylinder body.

Constructed from high-quality solid brass, the FV-2089 offers superior resistance to the corrosive properties of LPG and the physical wear associated with frequent industrial use. The material choice ensures longevity and minimizes the risk of thread deformation or body cracking under pressure. Central to its design is an integrated back-pressure check mechanism. This internal check valve allows the unimpeded flow of liquid propane into the cylinder during the filling process but automatically seats to block reverse flow immediately upon cessation of pumping or disconnection of the supply hose. This feature is critical for preventing the release of fugitive emissions and ensuring operator safety.

This valve is specifically calibrated for the liquid filling requirements of forklift and motor fuel tanks. It is not intended for vapor withdrawal applications. Maintenance personnel and safety officers can rely on the Western Enterprises FV-2089 for consistent performance, leak-proof sealing, and compliance with relevant compressed gas safety regulations. Whether used for OEM cylinder assembly or as a reliable MRO replacement part, this fill valve ensures your material handling equipment remains fueled and ready for duty.

FAQ

The valve features a 1-1/4" ACME Male thread for the filling connection and a 3/8" NPT thread for the tank connection.

The FV-2089 is designed specifically for liquid filling of motor fuel cylinders.

No, the dust cap is typically sold separately. It is recommended to use a cap to keep the ACME threads clean.

The valve body is machined from high-quality brass for durability and corrosion resistance.

No, this valve is designed for forklift and motor fuel cylinders with specific port configurations and filling requirements.

Yes, it includes an internal back-pressure check valve to prevent gas escape when the fill hose is disconnected.

If you notice leaks during filling, visible damage to the ACME threads, or if the check valve fails to seal after disconnection, the valve should be replaced immediately.

It is compatible with most standard forklift tanks that utilize a 3/8" NPT port for the fill valve. Always verify your tank's thread size before ordering.
