Backpackers and alpine guides trust our ultra-light aluminum Aerosol valve for Lighter Gas to ignite stoves in sub-zero winds. The 7075-T6 aluminum body shaves grams while a flexible nitrile diaphragm stays pliable down to –40 °C, preventing the cracking common in lesser valves. A low-profile actuator reduces snag points inside pockets, and the one-piece stem eliminates loose parts that could rattle loose on ridgelines. The valve delivers a focused 0.05 g burst that lights piezo ignitions instantly, yet seals so securely that fuel loss is virtually zero over multi-week expeditions.
Bullet points
• Aluminum Aerosol valve for Lighter Gas with freeze-proof diaphragm
• Feather-light build ideal for ultralight backpacking kits
• One-piece stem eliminates loose parts in harsh conditions
• Pinpoint burst improves ignition reliability for piezo stoves
• Leak-proof design retains fuel for weeks on remote trails
Specific application scenario
On a wind-battered Patagonian glacier, a mountaineer clicks his stove valve and brews hot cocoa within seconds, knowing every gram of fuel is preserved.
FAQ
Q1: How does the freeze-proof diaphragm work?
A1: The nitrile diaphragm stays flexible to –40 °C, keeping the valve functional in extreme cold.
Q2: Is the aluminum body corrosion-resistant?
A2: Hard-anodizing creates a surface harder than steel and impervious to salt or moisture.
Q3: Can the actuator withstand high altitudes?
A3: Yes, the actuator is altitude-tested to 5,500 m without leakage.
Q4: What burst volume does the valve deliver?
A4: It delivers a consistent 0.05 g burst optimized for piezo ignition systems.
Q5: How are the valves protected during air freight?
A5: Temperature-controlled containers prevent thermal shock during express air shipments.
