Fireboy-Xintex Propane Control & Solenoid Valve w/Chrome Bezel Display

The Fireboy-Xintex Propane Control & Solenoid Valve with Chrome Bezel Display (Model C-1C-R) is a compact, electronically controlled propane shutoff system designed to eliminate the risk of unintended gas discharge. This push-button solenoid valve gives operators instant source-level control over propane supply when equipment is idle, critical for safety in mobile installations, marine vessels, RVs, and off-grid operational camps where accidental fuel release poses personnel hazard and explosion risk.

The unit operates across a wide voltage range (9–30VDC), accommodating battery systems from 12V patrol vehicles to 24V truck platforms. Its operating temperature envelope of –40°F to 185°F (–40°C to 85°C) covers extreme field conditions from arctic deployments to desert operations. The 2–3/16-inch round chrome bezel provides clean integration into dashboard or control panel installations. Built-in reverse polarity protection guards against wiring mistakes that could damage the solenoid. Compact form factor (4 x 4 x 8 inches, 0.8 lbs) suits space-constrained installations without sacrificing reliability or response speed.

This solenoid valve is specified for marine propane systems, heating appliances in expedition vehicles, portable cookware installations, and industrial field equipment where unattended fuel sources create liability. The Fireboy-Xintex brand has established reputation in marine safety and off-grid systems where failure tolerance is near-zero. Straightforward wiring and mounting reduce installation labor and support field retrofit work without specialist technicians.

Propane control systems typically serve two functions: flow regulation and safety shutoff. This unit focuses on the latter—delivering instant cutoff at the source rather than managing pressure or flow rate. That design philosophy makes it ideal for applications where the primary concern is preventing uncontrolled discharge rather than metering consumption, distinguishing it from inline regulators used in continuous-feed systems.
