Prevost PPS Remote Control for Valve

Total System Control from the Shop Floor

The Prevost PPS Remote Control is a specialized pneumatic accessory designed for the PPS (Prevost Piping System). It allows operators to actuate main line valves—typically those mounted high out of reach or in restricted areas—from a convenient, wall-mounted station.

By bringing the “ON/OFF” switch down to eye level, this system improves safety, encourages energy conservation by making it easy to shut down air sectors when not in use, and eliminates the need for ladders or specialized tools to manage your air distribution.

Key Features

• Effortless Remote Actuation: Designed to control pneumatic ball valves or butterfly valves within the PPS network. With a simple turn of the selector, you can open or close a main air header from up to several meters away.
• Safety Lockout Capability: The remote station often features a lockable handle (LOTO – Lockout/Tagout compatible). This is a critical safety feature for maintenance teams, ensuring that a section of the shop remains depressurized and safe while work is being performed downstream.
• Intuitive Visual Feedback: The control handle provides a clear, at-a-glance indication of the valve’s status (Open vs. Closed), reducing the risk of accidental pressurization.
• Integrated PPS Compatibility: Built to match the aesthetics and technical requirements of the Prevost Piping System. It integrates seamlessly with PPS aluminum pipe and wall brackets for a clean, professional-grade installation.
• Rapid Response: Unlike manual chain-wheels which can be slow and cumbersome, the pneumatic signal from the remote control provides near-instantaneous valve actuation.

The Energy Efficiency Factor

Leaks are most common at the tool end of an air system. By installing the PPS Remote Control, shop managers can easily isolate entire wings or departments at the end of a shift. This prevents the compressor from cycling all night to “feed” small leaks in hoses and couplers, significantly reducing electricity costs and extending the lifespan of your compressor.

Ideal Applications

• High-Ceiling Manifolds: Control valves located on overhead main lines without needing a lift or ladder.
• Hazardous Zones: Actuate air flow into wash bays or chemical areas from a safe distance.
• Multi-Bay Workshops: Isolate specific bays (e.g., a paint booth or a CNC cell) when they are not in use.
• Emergency Shut-off: Place a remote control at an exit or central hub for quick system depressurization in the event of a line rupture.

Installation Note

The PPS Remote Control requires a small-diameter pilot line (typically 4mm or 6mm tubing) to be run between the control station and the pneumatic actuator on the valve. This pilot line is easily concealed alongside your main PPS aluminum piping using standard Prevost clips.
