About Pneumatic Lockout And Shut Off Valves
Pneumatic Lockout and Shut Off valves can do away with the unauthorized pressurization of the air system, whenever a maintenance is being on. It is featured with a restricted exhaust and is functional in the FRL assembly. Pneumatic Lockout and Shut Off valves are designed to manage the compressed air in a safe pneumatic application. The said valves are useful to block the compressed air in an industrial automation process. This is helpful for various sub-systems and enables an innocuous control of compressed air in different pneumatic applications. These serve as the useful accessories, which can stop the air supply in different controlled conditions. With their assistance, a correct and safe operation is ensured.

Efficient Pneumatic IsolationDesigned for secure isolation of compressed air lines, this valve ensures safe maintenance and equipment servicing. With a manual rotary lever and padlock hole for tagout/lockout, it eliminates accidental startup and enhances workplace safety. Suitable for industrial environments, its robust construction delivers reliable performance up to 100,000 cycles.
Compliance and Safety FirstAdhering to OSHA and ISO 14118 standards for lockout/tagout procedures, the PLSV-01 provides peace of mind for operators and technicians. The padlock provision supports a thorough lockout process, while the anti-corrosive coating and non-lubricated operation minimize ongoing maintenance needs.
FAQs of Pneumatic Lockout And Shut Off Valves:
Q: How is the PLSV-01 valve installed in pneumatic systems?
A: The PLSV-01 valve can be mounted either in-line or on a panel using threaded 1/4 inch BSP connections. This flexibility allows easy integration into new or existing industrial compressed air setups.
Q: What are the specific benefits of using a lockout/tagout valve during maintenance?
A: The lockout/tagout feature, with an 8 mm diameter padlock provision, prevents accidental energization of pneumatic circuits, significantly reducing workplace injuries during maintenance and repairs.
Q: When should the PLSV-01 be used in an industrial environment?
A: This valve should be used whenever pneumatic equipment or pipelines require isolation for maintenance, servicing, or emergency shutdown, ensuring the system remains safely de-energized throughout the process.
Q: What kind of media and pressure is the valve designed to handle?
A: It is specifically made for filtered compressed air up to a maximum pressure of 10 bar (145 psi), with a very low leakage rate of 0.1 ml/min at rated pressure.
Q: Where can the PLSV-01 valve be applied?
A: Ideal for industrial pneumatic systems, it is suitable for manufacturing, processing plants, and any application where safe isolation of compressed air circuits is necessary during servicing.
Q: How does the manual lockout mechanism operate?
A: The rotary lever actuates the valve, and once in the locked position, an 8 mm diameter padlock can be inserted to secure the system, ensuring manual, physical lockout with clear visual status.
Q: What standards and certifications does this valve comply with?
A: The PLSV-01 fully meets OSHA and ISO 14118 lockout/tagout requirements, ensuring legal compliance and operational safety for industrial users in India.
