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

606 Recent Views Call for more details

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.
