ABSTRACT:
A pressurized container is utilized to store a fire extinguishing agent under pressure and incorporates a valve. A valve actuator, for actuating the valve to permit flow of the fire extinguishing agent from the container, includes a pair of substantially U-shaped levers opening towards each other. A first one of the levers pivots towards a second one of the levers and carries a latching member in the form of a U-shaped wire pivoted on said first member and coacting with an end of the second one of the levers to latch the levers in valve actuated condition. Flow of the fire extinguishing agent is directed through a hose fixedly attached to the outlet of the valve and a nozzle with an adjustable pattern attached to an end of the hose opposite the outlet of the valve thus enabling the user to spray the fire. Alternatively, a bayonet type nozzle may be attached to the end of the hose, allowing a wall to be punctured or pierced. The flow of the extinguisher agent through the bayonet type nozzle provides bi-directional flow within a wall cavity.
