Ross Controls Manual L-O-X® valve shown padlocked in closed position. The valve can only be locked in the closed position. The position of the red handle indicates full flow pressurizing or exhausting capability. | |
Following any FRL components, an energy isolation valve is usually the first valve in the line supplying compressed air to equipment. The energy isolation valve should provide a quick means of shutting off the supply of air and exhausting the downstream lines. The Ross Controls manual L-O-X® valve has a large red operating handle for high visibility. When the handle is pulled out, there is full line pressure. A short, full inward push of the handle closes off the flow of air, and quickly exhausts the pressure in the downstream line. This action is swift and doesn't require a difficult, slow, or confusing twisting action. NOTE: If a system requires gradual buildup or downstream pressure, see L-O-X® /EEZ-ON valves. The controlling spool of the valve employs seals made of very low-friction material. These seals enable the L-O-X® spool to shift smoothly and easily even after being on standby for a long period of time. The exhaust port is threaded for the installation of a silencer or a line for remote exhausting. Two mounting holes are provided to simplify the installation of the L-O-X® valve. |

Opened When the red handle is pulled out, supply air flows freely from inlet to outlet and flow to exhaust is blocked. A detent keeps the handle in the open position, thereby providing for ready shut-off when necessary. |

LockoutOSHA regulations require that an employee verify the dissipation
of energy after lockout before beginning work. The ROSS pressure indicators and
pressure switches assist with compliance with this requirement. |
 |
|
 |
The visual indicator provides a 360 degree view of the stem and incorporates a redundant method of verification by also operating as a push pin test point. simply install this device in a standard 1/8" connection that is in an easily accessible area. Its rugged and compact design helps guard against damage due to impact. | |
 |
The pressure switch provides a method to report back to the main machine control the absence of pressure. provided for a 1/8" NPT connection into standard gauge port or pipe connection. | |
