Numatics Inc introduces the addition of VL42 Standard Series and VT42 Slo-Start Valves designed to prevent unauthorized pressurization of air system during maintenance or service.
Numatics lockout valves come in various designs including Modular, Slo-Start and Manual. Each lockout valve features an emergency shut off which enables quick exhaustion of downstream pressure to the atmosphere.
Numatics lockout valves feature a unique spool design which allows users to lock the pneumatic system in the closed position. The system cannot be operated unless the padlock is removed.
The Slo-Start Valve feature allows the operator to turn the red knob of the spool in the CCW direction as it gradually increases the downstream pressure before it opens to full flow conditions.
This Inline Manual Lockout Valve VL42 Series and VT42 Slo-Start have detented spool and an integrated hole in the valve spool designed for Scissor “Trades” lock.
VL42 Series and VT42 Slo-Start can be easily identified as lockout devices with its bright yellow body and red knob. The new “U Coating” process embedded in these inline manual lockout valves enables low-friction startup.
Inline Manual Lockout Valve VL42 and VT42 meet OSHA specifications and are built with durable, sturdy and long-lasting capabilities.
The lockout valves use filtered air as a flow media and have a temperature ranging from 40° F to 120°F (4.4°C to 46.9°C) and maximum pressure of 250 PSIG (17 bar). The VL42 lockout valve weighs 4.95 lbs. (2.25 kg) while the VT42 Series weighs 5.50 lbs. (2.50 kg).
