A thermally responsive valve is connected to a fire extinguisher between a pressure gauge and an extinguisher outlet to which such gauge would normally be secured. The valve includes a fitting having a passage extending therethrough so that pressure in the extinguisher may be sensed and displayed by the gauge. Detachably mounted to the fitting is a spray head having a port communicating with the passage, the port being normally sealed by a heat collecting disc. The disc is fused to the spray head by fusible material and when the environment surrounding the extinguisher reaches a predetermined temperature, the fusible material will melt thereby releasing the disc from sealing the port. The extinguisher's pressurized contents are then automatically expelled through the port for extinguishing a fire.
