Prevost Slide Valve

Description

Prevost Slide Valve (3-Way Safety Shut-Off) Inline Manual

Instant Circuit Isolation and Decompression. Enhance the safety and maintenance efficiency of your pneumatic system with the Prevost Manual Slide Valve. Designed to be installed directly into the air line, this “sleeve valve” provides a simple, immediate method to shut off air supply and—crucially—vent the downstream pressure, making it safe to disconnect tools or perform maintenance without the risk of trapped air causing accidental actuation.

• 3-Way Safety Action: Unlike standard ball valves that simply block flow, this valve features a 3/2 design. When closed, it shuts off the upstream supply and simultaneously opens an exhaust port to vent all downstream pressure to the atmosphere.
• Intuitive Operation: Features a knurled sliding sleeve that is easy to grip, even with gloved hands. Simply slide the sleeve forward to open the circuit (pressurize) and slide it back to close and vent (depressurize).
• Compact Inline Design: The lightweight, cylindrical form factor allows for installation in tight spaces where a traditional lever-handle valve would be too bulky or prone to accidental bumping.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured from anodized aluminum or corrosion-resistant brass, ensuring smooth sliding action and long-lasting seals even in harsh industrial environments.
• Maintenance Essential: Ideal for installation immediately before FRL units, control valves, or machine connection points, giving operators a quick and visible means of energy isolation (Lockout/Tagout prep).

This valve is a fundamental safety component for any compliant compressed air network, protecting both personnel and equipment.
