LOX valves for safety-compliant Lock-Out/Tag-Out

LOX* valves for pneumatic energy isolation and dissipation - Lock-Out/Tag-Out.

Cleaning, maintaining and working on dangerous machinery should only be done when energy sources have been isolated. In addition, compressed air needs to be exhausted from a system before hazardous equipment can be considered safe.

Safety standards require a procedural system where a physical device for blocking and exhausting air is used and various people are responsible for the disconnection and reconnection. This Lock-Out/Tag-Out system specifies:

simple effective isolation
fast efficient dissipation (of stored energy)
reliable verification (that there is no residual air pressure) and
lock-out/ tag-out.

In order for this to function safely, a LOX* valve meets the following safety criteria:

Easy to identify and distinctive in appearance.
Easy to operate.
Over-sized exhaust ensures rapid energy dissipation.
Only capable of being locked in the "off" position.
Built-in provision for a visual pressure indicator.

Port sizes range from 1/4" up to 3". Internals are engineered for safety and reliability. Special anti-clog high-flow mufflers are available to ensure fast, safe exhaust at comfortable noise levels.

Also, where sudden re-introduction of air pressure can cause problems, a built-in Soft Start function for gradual re-application of pressure is available.
