Prevost Energy Saving Kit (PPS1 EKITVP)

The Smart Switch for Professional Air Management

The Prevost PPS1 EKITVP Energy Saving Kit is an all-in-one solution designed to combat the “invisible” costs of compressed air. In most workshops, the air compressor continues to run or cycle long after the staff has gone home, simply to “feed” tiny leaks in hoses, tools, and old pipe joints.

This kit provides everything you need to install a Remote Controlled Pneumatic Valve at the head of your PPS (Prevost Piping System), allowing you to isolate your entire air network with a single switch. By shutting down the air supply at the source during non-working hours, you drastically reduce electricity bills and prevent unnecessary wear on your compressor.

What’s in the Kit?

The PPS1 EKITVP is a pre-configured package that simplifies the transition to a managed air network. It typically includes:

1. Remote Controlled Pneumatic Valve (PPS1 VP): The core of the system. This high-flow aluminum ball valve is actuated pneumatically rather than manually, allowing for remote operation.
2. Control Switch (Push Button or Key): A wall-mountable interface that allows you to open or close the main valve from a convenient location (like the workshop exit or the main electrical panel).
3. Pilot Tubing & Fittings: The necessary small-diameter lines that carry the “signal” air from your control switch to the main valve actuator.
4. PPS Connection Hardware: Specifically designed fittings to integrate the valve seamlessly into your existing 100% aluminum PPS pipe network.

Key Features & Benefits

• Instant ROI: Most industrial facilities lose 20–30% of their compressed air to leaks. By isolating the system overnight and on weekends, the energy savings often pay for the kit within the first year.
• Compressor Longevity: By preventing the compressor from “short-cycling” to maintain pressure against leaks during off-hours, you extend the life of the motor, pump, and electrical contactors.
• Safety & Security: The key-switch option (on select models) provides a “Lockout” function, ensuring that the air system cannot be pressurized by unauthorized personnel.
• Full Flow, Zero Restriction: The PPS1 VP valve is a “full bore” design, meaning it does not create a bottleneck in your system. You get the same high CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) delivery as a standard pipe.
• Pneumatic Reliability: Because the valve is actuated by air pressure (pilot-operated), it does not require complex electrical wiring at the valve site, making it safe for use in damp or volatile environments.

Why Every Modern Shop Needs an “EKIT”

Leaving an air system pressurized 24/7 is one of the most common hidden expenses in a business. The Prevost Energy Saving Kit turns air management into a simple “lights out” routine. Just as you turn off the lights when you leave, a quick turn of the PPS1 key ensures your air system is “off-duty,” saving you money while you sleep.
