Wholesale PricingThe Amerex 6093A is an OEM brass check/valve stem assembly for a wide range of Amerex brass-valve fire extinguishers spanning dry chemical, high performance dry chemical, Halon 1211, Halotron I, and Class D models. It ships with an o-ring included, providing the complete internal valve sealing assembly in a single part. The brass construction resists the corrosion and wear found in high-pressure valve service, and the OEM dimensions ensure a precision fit with the brass valve bodies used across these extinguisher families.
The breadth of this stem's compatibility makes it one of the most commonly stocked service parts across the Amerex brass-valve product range. A technician servicing multiple Amerex models in a single service run can use the 6093A across a large portion of the brass-valve inventory rather than needing separate stem parts for each model family. Amerex's standard requirement applies: only genuine OEM parts are acceptable. Generic or aftermarket stems, even those labeled as meeting Amerex or UL specifications, void the extinguisher's warranty and listing.

- OEM Parts Only: Amerex states that substitute valve stems do not meet UL requirements and void the extinguisher's listing and warranty. Use only genuine Amerex P/N 6093A.
- O-Ring Included: This assembly ships with the o-ring already included. No separate o-ring order is required for this part.
- Replacement at 6-Year Maintenance or Recharge: Replace the valve stem whenever the valve is disassembled during the 6-year internal examination required under NFPA 10, or following discharge when the unit is recharged.
- Confirm Valve Type: This stem is for brass valve Amerex models. Aluminum valve dry chemical models require a different stem (P/N 6092). Check the extinguisher model against the compatible model list before ordering.
Why does this stem work across so many different agent types?
The 6093A fits the brass valve body design used across a large portion of Amerex's portable extinguisher range. Because the valve body geometry is consistent across these models despite their different agent types, a single OEM valve stem covers the full range of brass-valve units.
Why is a Class D extinguisher serviced with a brass valve stem?
Amerex Class D extinguishers (models 570, 571, B570, B571) use a brass valve assembly, which is why the 6093A brass valve stem is the correct replacement for these units. The Class D designation refers to the agent type (sodium chloride based for combustible metal fires), not the valve material.
Is the difference between 6093 and 6093A significant?
The "A" suffix typically denotes a revised or updated version of the component. For field service purposes, the 6093A is the current standard replacement. Your Amerex parts book or distributor can confirm the exact revision history if needed.
