An emergency oxygen system includes: a pressure vessel containing pressurized oxygen; a rupturable seal that confines the oxygen within the vessel until the seal is ruptured; and a valve assembly for controlling the oxygen release and delivery to an aircraft passenger. The valve assembly includes: a valve body with an oxygen outlet connected to the pressure vessel; and a threaded poppet mounted within the valve body whose first end is a pierce point in contact with the seal. The system further includes a pulley that is rotatably connected to the valve body and engages the second end of the poppet; a cable attached to the pulley to effect its rotation; and an oxygen breathing mask connected to the oxygen outlet. Actuation of the cable causes the pulley to rotate and the threaded poppet to move laterally towards the seal, which results in rupture of the seal and allows oxygen to flow through the oxygen outlet to the mask.
