Abstract
A valve assembly for a pressure vessel is disclosed that includes a valve housing operatively associated with an outlet of the pressure vessel, a frangible hermetic disc sealing the outlet of the pressure vessel, and a poppet valve mounted for movement within the valve housing between a first position supporting the frangible hermetic disc within the outlet of the pressure vessel and a second position spaced apart from the frangible hermetic disc to permit the frangible disc to burst under pressure and permit the egress of pressurized material from the pressure vessel through the outlet.
